Convert from inch to mm

$

Hi,

 

I am currently using NX 12 (MP12.2.0.9). I have an assembly in inches and I convert everything to milimeters using "ug_convert_part.exe" whitout any problem, but when I open part and go to unit manager they are in inches. Is there any VB or macro to change unit form inches to milimeters?

 

Thank you

1847, turn of automatic work part change?

$
0
0

User wants to create non-parametric lines in an assembly, using geometry in components, like they did in NX11, but everytime they pick something on a component, the work part changes to that component.  They would like to avoid having to wave in the geometry, like you had to in older NX versions.

 

I know the auto work part change is a new feature, but I haven't found if you can disable it in the Customer Defaults yet?  I may not be searching for the right term, if you can.

How to design a Groove

Dear all,

 

I want to design a mechanism with two rotational part. The first one is rotating with constant speed. The second one is a disc with 8 bearings that each one goes through a groove inside the first part. What is the best and most accurate way to model the shape of groove so that the bearings could go through the groove without any interference?

 

I will then solve this assembly in Simcenter Motion Simulation

The assembly and also stp file is attached bellow

 

Thank you in advance

Welding/Machining drawings

Hey.

 

Little beginner question, but what is the easiest way to make weldment and machining drawings of one part? I already made one weld assy drawing and bring that item number as a structure of another item number in TC structure manager.

 

Now I want to make machinings on that welded part. I can bring it visible or "non-geometric" to my maching drawing. Does it need to be transformed to a "linked body", before I can make those machings? Or how to make it? If I later on change the weldment part, doest it update it to the machining drawing automatically?

 

I have used to make this kind of drawings in SW under just a one item number. It just have two different configurations of that same part, welding and machining. In a welding configuration those machings are just supressed off. Then I just make two sheet drawing and thats it. Is this possible also in NX?

NX 7.5 Distance Tolerance Setting

$

Hi,

 

I would like to set default distance tolerance from 0.0254mm to 0.001mm so that each time I open new file it will follow 0.001mm.

 

I have set the Tolerances / scales in Customer defaults to 0.001mm as per below :

 

7.5.png

 

However , in the modeling preference ; the distance tolerance is still set to 0.0254.

 

7.5_2.png

 

So each time I need to change the distance tolerance to 0.001 in modeling preferences.

 

However , the Bridge curve distance tolerance setting is still 0.0254.

 

May I know how do I preset the distance tolerance to 0.001 , each I open a new file ?

 

What is the difference / effects between the tolerance settings in Customer default and modeling preferences ?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

I would like to create a group in the UI where I would like to put some functions of the "Feature" toolbar.

 

Can anyone recommend a way to achieve this?

 

I know how to create that "Feature" group, but I don´t know how I can bring the commands in there. (Edit Parameters, Replace, etc.)

 

Thanks!

Hello Everyone.

 

I am trying to control the suppression status of an exact imported view(not drafting object) by whatever condition or logic expression I want.

 

Any ideas on how I can get this done?

How to accurately model the generated root radius of a hobbed gear tooth.

$
0
0

When pre-machining a gear the teeth are being created with a hobbing process in which the hob and gear blank both rotate at corresponding rotational speeds. The hob which has a V shaped tooth profile cuts through the gear blank which is also rotating at a certain speed. The combined rotations of these two generate two profiles. The first being the involute tooth flank (which can be created quite easily using law-curve). The second being the generated tooth root with a variable radius.

 

For CAE purposes it is important that this generated tooth root geometry is exactly the same as created during the real hobbing process.

 

My question is what could be the best method for modelling this tooth root profile in NX.

 

See below for an examples of the generated tooth root profile and the generation hobbing process.

NX and TcSim

$

I need an education.  I hear the term TcSim used often in connection with Simulation, but on the GTAC download site, I see Simcenter 3D and Simcenter Nastran.  

 

Under the NX download page and Add-ons, I don't see sim-anything.

 

Can someone explain the terminology for me?  What the different sim's are and if using the TcSim term is even correct are there yet other simulators that I haven't mentioned here?

Hey.

 

I have base in my drawing and I´m trying to make basic projected section view. Just a cutline with letters A-A appears on the baseviw, but section view itself is missing. It wont even offer to place it anywhere, after clicking the cutline on the base view.

 

All the layers are visible and all the plus icons are clicked from "show and hide".

Chamfer Dimension issue

Hello

 

Please refer the attached Nx 9 model (Actual Version Nx 11).

 

In the attached file majenta chamfer is Symmetric 1 mm i.e., 1 mm x 45°.

 

But while dimensioning in detailing it shows 1.31 vertical and 0.78 horizontal. This need to be dimensioning as 1 mm without manually editing the dimensions.

 

Any suggestions invited.

 

Thanks in advance

How to not close my current application when I close my part?

When I close my part, but not exit NX, it also closes my application such as modeling or PMI. Where is the setting so I when I close my .prt file, the current application is still on even though I have multiple parts still open in my session? How can I set the applications I want to turn on when I first start NX?

like a precise order for the user.

Communication between OPC-UA Server (B&R-PLC) and Siemens NX MCD 1876

$

Dear all,

 

maybe someone is able to help us. We tried to connect a PLC with Siemens MCD, by using OPC-UA.

 

Currently we stuck into the MCD by detecting the active OPC-UA-Server that is located at the PLC.
The MCD gives us the same feedback all the time. The Program isn't able to detect an OPC-Server.

We build up a network that includes 2 PC's and 1 PLC.

We installed the software "UA-Expert" (1.4.3) on both PC's switched off the firewalls and were able to reach the Server.
With the UA-Expert we were able to see all variables and had been able to read/write them from both PC's. In our first steps we run the OPC-Server without User-Roles.


Specs of our test equipment:

----------------------------------------

PLC: B&R inlcuding OPC-UA-Server
PC: Win 10, Siemens NX 1876

 

Does someone know, which adjustments need to be done to run that communication?

 

Thanks for feedback!
