Forgot to mention I'm using NX 11

Hello all. I was wondering what the quickest approach would be to create curves though the center of a series of welded I-beams. I need to do this in order to create a 1D mesh on the FEM/SIM side. I basically need to create a frame of sorts out of lines/curves. Any ideas? Thanks

Silly me. That worked. Thanks!!

Is is checked. Not sure what else this could be.

For some reason, I can only view one side of a midsurface/sheet in my model. Even after doing a 2D mesh, only one side of the mesh can be viewed. Is there a setting I may have hit by accident to do this? this only happens in the fem/sim. Thanks

I'm trying to perform a FEM check of sorts by placing an enforced displacement set at a specific distance so that the entire model moves at that distance.I'm having difficulties getting these results. Currently I have an Enforced Displacement constraint on one node of a TET10 specified in one...

I'd like to take into account the cg of the box. Cant do that with point loads.

Because its tranferimg load to the plate as well, not just the bolts.

Sorry NX 10 nastran

Assume you have a plate with a rigid box attached to it by 4 screws. Using the location of center of mass of the box you place a node or 0d mass there, apply a load or other applied forces (direction doesnt matter). Would you use an rbe2 or rbe3 from the cg to the bolts?

I am currently trying to find a way to display each fastener's maximum force results from my CBUSH elements (Spring-Dashpot Resultant) for several subcases. Is there a way to combine the maximum result values from each subcase into one display? Thanks
