View as many videos as you can find and also read the Siemens description for Mold Wizard. Of course with any solid modeler you can manually perform boolean operations but the real value is in the tools made specifically for mold design. Such as placing ejector pins in a core block...the...
Sounds like it's working for you! When I've had occasional issues with step files, sometimes a Parasolid worked better, especially between systems which both use the Parasolid modeling kernel. Without a doubt, most step issues I've experienced were importing step files from Catia; I think they...
I love Eng Tips but the cam side is somewhat unrepresented. I would post this question in the CAD/CAM forum at the Practical Machinist site. Be sure to mention the nature of your parts to be programmed. I believe mastercam is more advanced than SW CAM but also consider the price up front as well...
Ken,
Can you post your hardware specs? Also the files size and the number of files if it's an assembly? Some other things to look at are, if you're using lightweight components, fully or partial loaded components and also the display settings for models. Back to hardware, if you're running...
I agree with Jerry, NX is probably running with as much resources as it can use. I wouldn't worry about low ram utilization; that's a good thing. As far as cpu load is concerned, mutli threading in all cad/cam/cae varies. For NX cad I think parasolid boolean operations are multi-threaded and, as...
