NX collision places coordinates

Hello,

 

I have an object which I need to fit inside some empty places inside the assembly.  The problem is that there are a lot of places it can be placed, so I would like just get all of possible coordinates inside the body where the object cam fit without interfering with other structures. Imagine that you have a bookshelf and you have few different sze placeses where you can fit your book. Do you know the way I can do that? This data should be used afterwards to find the best possible place.

I have an idea to create a sequnce to go through whole assembly and record points where it is not colliding. The collision can be visualised, so there should be some flag rised in a background when it happens. Maybe you know the way I can extract these data (possition on X-Y-Z and collision flag)?

Update display Shortcut

Hi,

 

I am new to NX 10, and I've noticed that I have to use update display A LOT. Is there a keyboard shortcut for it instead of RMB -> update display ? Or any other faster way to do it instead of right clicking and selecting it in the meny ? Or where can I find that command so that I can assign the keyboard shortcut manually ?

 

Thank you

Machined assembly

Hi,

as you can see in the Assembly attached, I've add 14 threaded holes. A part that aren't connected in the manner that if I change the first thread, the change is propagated to other, like a pattern. I don't like to use expression to relate them. So, I've tried to use hole with boolean option 'none' and repetition with assembly cut command, but cosmetic thread in the drawing is not visualized.

For case where  I need to machine in assembly more components with one feature, I can't find a solution simple. Serie holes can be a solution, but propagate the feature in parts.

Move parts from assembly into subassembly

Hello,

 

To clean up an assembly I've made (which has ended up with many repeated components which would be better off as a subassembly), I wish to move components into a subassembly, i.e. a lower level assembly.

 

I have no idea how to do this and have found no such tool using either the NX command search or Google, but based on the abilities of my old CAD package (SolidWorks) I can only assume that it is capable. Does anyone have any advice? Alternatively if you have any advice on cleaning up assemblies, e.g. grouping into folders, I would be very grateful.

 

Many thanks,

Alex

 

If you have any questions please let me know.


EDIT: below is an example of an assembly navigator tree that I wish to clean up. I know I can 'pack' these repeated components but this doesn't stick between saves and to be honest is only slightly useful.

Hello,

 

I had created favorite data for many commands. I can start the command use the favorite defined. Now I want to check for which commands favorite data is saved. Is there any way to check them altogether, where can I find it?

I am setting up drawing templates to go to NX10.0 and in the title block we have a line that says denotes critical characteristic and a sybol for that infront of the comment. I would like to be able to create a custom symbol that I can use as a critical characteristic symbol to put infront of this line.

Can anyone tell me how to create a custom symbol that I can add to my drawing template.

CSYS showing in view

I have created a csys that I put on layer 60 and drawn a block.

When I add a view to my drawing and layer 60 is active, the csys shows on the view, but when I go and turn off layer 60 and update the view, the csys still shows, but if I add a new view the csys doesn't show.

 

Shouldn't the view update based on the layers that are visible at the time of the update?

Drawing Sheet Suppresion

Like in Modeling application, we can suppress the individual features. Is it possible to suppress the individual drawing sheet in drafting?

 

I am verifying the check mate checkers (Customized). Each time I need to create a new drawing sheet with fail conditions. So finding way to avoid it if there is option to suppress the drawing sheet or any workaround.

Master part full path on drawing

Hello everyone!

 

Is it possible to display full path of the master part on the non-master drawing sheet in native mode? The <W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME> attribute only shows part name. Surely it is possible to utilize some sort of NX Open automation to achieve this, but maybe some other way exists?

Using NX Part Families

Hello,

 

As a previous SolidWorks user, I'm trying to replicate the SolidWorks Configurations tool in NX. I have managed to use Part families to change the length of an extrusion in steps of 10mm from 1000mm to 1880mm; this has created multiple part files with different lengths (which I believe is how it should work in NX).

 

I am having difficulty swapping out the component with a different length; I can use 'replace component' when right-clicking upon the part in the assembly navigator, but this process doesnt seem any different for a part that has Part Families activated or not, so I think I am missing something.

 

In the screenshot below, I have included a part with Part Families turned on (as is shown) and one without. Could someone advise if/how it is possible to easily swap the 30x30x1870 component with (for example) a 30x30x1800 component?

Assemplt part attributes into expression

February 13, 2017, 6:52 am

We have a series of attributes that are added in Teamcenter, which essentially create a smart part number for our parts, type of car, year, section of car, and then unique number.  I'd like to be able to create an expression in our model seed file, that assemble's these attributes into a single string.  Then we can use this single expression, in notes, in model text for engraving, etc.

 

I did some experimenting, but so far have not had luck as a "string" type expression, or I messed up the format...can this be done?

Constraining subassembly to parent assembly

Hi,

 

I'm a SolidWorks convert, and in SW I was able to position subassemblies into a parent assembly by using constraints/'mates'. I'm trying to do the same in NX, but the constraints dialog window doesn't let me select any components/faces/edges in the subassembly.

 

Can anyone help? I have searched for this issue and haven't found it anywhere, so perhaps I've done something wrong. I've checked my selection filters and they are OK.

 

Thanks,
Alex

Mechatronics Concept Designer - how to create a loop of operations

Hi everyone,

 

I have a very easy question (that I can't seem to figure out myself)

I created a sequence that I want to repeat over and over again, for instance picking up a product and putting it in a box. The product is always at the same coordinates and always angled the same. So lets say there is one product at a time but I've already defined my movements and the pick up process through operations, now I want me robot to repeat that action until theres no product left laying there. I know how to create links between operations but how do I tell the program "If Signal xx = true, start with operation 1" for example.

I want to create a loop, only within Mechatronics concept designer.

Can I make a new operation depend on an existing one? 

I cant imagine it to be too difficult, I just cant find the solution.

 

Thanks for your help

 

 

**I attached a video of an example scenario that I want to repeat in a loop, only by using Siemens NX , Mechatronics Concept Designer**

Changing decimal places in drafting

I know I saw a response earlier to this question, but can't find it.

 

NX8.5 you could double click a dim and change from 2 to 3 to 4 decimal places by just hitting the # desired from keyboard.

 

NX11 lost that function.

 

Siemen's didn't know of that option, John Baker option- I think it was called, but came up with a temp solution to bring it back.

 

Can anyone tell me that solution, again??

 

Thanks.
