NX Routing - Flexible Pipe questions

November 2, 2017, 6:24 am

Dear All,

 

hopefully somebody can help me to find a solution for my folowing issue Smiley Happy

 

At the moment my company using assemblies for flexible hoses (1 fitting + tube in the middle + 1 fitting) as deformable parts, having lines and bridge curves in the top assy level as a guide for the deformable tube.

 

When I insert this pipe assy in the main assy I add a constrain for 1 fitting and make the other fitting 'flexible' then I can constrain it where it needs to go, then select the bridge curve as a guise rail.

 

This method is not adaptive, so if I have to move the position of the fittings, I need to re attach the lines for the guide rail.

 

With this method I can have the same 'part nr' for many difffeent lookign flexible pipe (but with similar length) , and also I can produce a drawing, showing the original sub assy, with straight tube, so we can source it out from a supplier.

 

 

I have now a trial licence for the mechanical routing as the management is looking for a quicker way to do the piping

assemblies.

 

Is there any way I can achive the same principle for my pipe routes, such as:

-having only one assembly for the similar (same) length pipes, but using different guides (splines) in the main assy,

-have a drawing showing the straight pipe for manufacturing purposes.

 

I am using NX 11.0.1.11

 

thanks a lot,

 

regards,

 

Richard

Exporting all solids to individual component files.

I have a part with many solids that I want to create individual components for. I usually just export the parts individually, but I have a large number of solids, and was trying to find a way to automatically make them all end up as separate .prt files to be used as components later.

Flattening and Forming

We have been trying to flatten out a non-planer surface, using various techniques.  Flattening and Forming seems to be the best, compared to convert to sheetmetal, and Fabric Flat Pattern, but when we water jet the piece, and shape it into the area we are trying to fill, it comes up a bit short.  Looking at the length analysis in the tool, it doesn't appear there would be any issues, but I also get an "Output body has self intersections" warning.  Also, if I measure an edge of the face I am flattening, it's 25.211", and the equivelant flattened edge is 25.175".

Hello everyone!

Can you help me to create a lamp in NX MCD, which is turn on after the one bottom(green) is pushed up, and work before the other bottom (red) pushed.

I undestand, how create a changed color lamp and pushed bottoms, but my problem is in inability to create a memorization signal. Is there something simular in the NX like a Set/Reset command from step7??

Hello,

 

In a short time in our company we will partial migrate from Solid Edge ST9 to NX 11 or 12, some users will still stay witch Solid Edge. Now we are working in Teamcenter (PDM only) enviroment.


I know that NX are reading SE parts, sheets and assemblies but what with draft files and FOPs?
In Teamcenter object have an unique ID number, I whont to save this number in NX file, is this possible ?
Is NX have some tool to migrate unmenaged documentacon to Teamcenter ?

Have you some tips for me about migration form Solid Edge to NX in Teamcenter, please shere it with me.

Thanks and regards.

MCD Double datatype

Hi Everyone
I'm establishing a communication between TIA PORTAL V14 / PLCSIM V14 and NX11 mechatronic concept desginer using an OPC protocol (KEPware KepserverEX.V6). In the OPC side we have a "DOUBLE" data type. a "Double" is a 64 bits float-point number (CANONICAL DATATYPE 5). Inside MCD we find the same "double" data type. Since I did not find a way to send a 64bits floating-point number from TIAportal to Kepserver I used a standard 32bits float number and it seems to work well. My question is: Is the Double MCD datatype really a 64bits float number, or is it a 32bits float number? Why to call it double instead of just 'float'? Another issue as you can see in the attached picture when i send for exemple a float number with value: 220.0 to MCD and then a I go to runtime inspector even if a change to degrees it does not show me 220 degrees, but it shows me (220 x 1radians) = 12605.071493. It seems to be inverted. Why? Thank you very much ! ! !

Is there a way to apply limitations to assembly part movement. Example: If my assembly were a vice , I would like to set limits on the travel of the clamping mechanisms. Basically when I slide the moving clamping part it would stop moving in the closing direction when 2 specific surfaces make contact.

Hi,

I am using Siemens Nx for surface modelling. Now i am facing a problem regarding visualization. Eventhough after sewing the sheets i donot have any gap between surfaces, i can see them visually. But according to siemens, there are no gaps and the gaps are under specified tolerances. But i donot want to see those gaps below tolerances visually. How can i change the visualization setting?

Hi All,

 

I've used Solid Edge for about 10 years. Last two years i've changed to NX. I must say it's a steep learning curve but in the end NX is more powerfull.

 

One thing I can't figure out is why it's so hard for the NX development team to copy and paste the 3D pdf creation option out of SE?

 

Only option is to buy an addon for  eur 2500,- which is almost a quarter of the (NX mach desigener) licence. Pretty weird.

Hello,

 

I have just implemented the PLM Vis Web viewer in one of my pages. I have followed the beginners guide (GettingStarted.pdf) and the viewer is working as supposed, except of the ability to rotate my geometry object.

Ironically zomming works fine.

 

Does anyone has a solution or an idea to this problem?

NX rebuild/update problems

Hello All ,

I'm currently working on NX10(NX 10.0.0.24 version) model that has more than 1000 features. Every time if I edit any feature, all features get updated. This will take more time and sometime features may fail.

Is there any way to come out of this situation?.I heard there is an option called Freeze in solid works which will isolate other features while rebuliding.

Please suggest me guys.

 

Thank you,
Devaraj.

Dear all,

I have created new drawing templates for our company and also I have updated pax files. It means I have access to my templates in file>new command and when I create new drawing I can see my own templates. But when I want to create the second sheet I can't see my template any more.

Please tell me what should I do to have my templates in drawings with more than one sheet. I use NX 11.

Thank you in advance.

Licenses used

If I wanted to monitor which specific licenses in our bundles, a particular user checkd out during a typical day, what would be the best way?  Is there a local log? or would I have to pick thru a server log of everyone?

 

Basically, I want to see what the typical designer uses, so we can evaluate which ones we need, and which ones we don't need.  I have the License Status tool, which helps, but that seems to only capture a moment in time.

 

Thanks!

Hey,

 

I'm trying to move a body within a part and I get multiple warnings saying that while moving the part, sketches are "Missing positioning reference", "Unable to reference parent objects that are deleted", "Sketch contains conflicting constraints due to the edit", and "Unable to rederence parent objects that are either suppressed or modeled away". Anyone know how to fix this?
