    A deleted or invalid class id was used

    I found that quite often with previous versions of NX (I use NX8.5), general performance bug I'm afraid to say.

    Measurement indicator

    Tantax, Using "selected geometry" allows surfaces, edges, curves or quilts to be picked. I don't think it will allow a volume to be picked.

    Measurement indicator

    I've used measures with good success (Insert>Simulation Measure). The maximum stress measure can be placed over selected geomtery: Edges and Surfaces are most useful.

    Manually assign F1,F2,F3 keys for pan ,zoom and rotate ??

    I endorse Jürgen's comment. As an ex-I-DEAS user setting the Environmental variable UGII_FKEY_DYNAMICS=1 is indispensable.

    Mechanica: Why does the displacement graph look so bad?

    thread828-314330 With regards to the question posed in the closed thread above: The displacement graph is correct, the displacement plot includes the forced displacement applied at the excitation point. What is required is a way to generate the displacement relative to the excitation point...

    NX 8.5 Super Element

    Hello All, Does anyone have experience using Super Elements with NX8.5? I have a model with super elements which I can solve dynamically (103 Real Eigenvalues) allowing me to find mode shapes. However; a response simulation solution process is not allowed. This leaves me having to...

    HI, All, I am new to Pro/Mechani

    You need to create a 2D surface and mesh on that rather than the face of a solid.

    NX 8.0 Performance in Advanced Simulation

    I assume you mean that the progress bar freezes when creating a mesh? Are you 3D meshing? It might be a good idea to 2D mesh the area first; the 2D meshes do not have to be sent to the solver.

    Continuity in the mesh

    For stitching edges the target geometry can be either another edge or a face. It sounds to me like you want to automatically stich all edges?

    Continuity in the mesh

    Split face is a fem command. I usually break up faces in the *i.part typically using split body or sub-divide face. So split face is not a command I use very often, that said it seems to work okay. This is how it works: Nx wants to draw a line between two points, both these points must line...

    NX Nastran - Post View Defaults

    I don't think there is anything in Customer Defaults. Have you tried using Templates? These can be customised then dragged and dropped onto the post view.

    Continuity in the mesh

    What version of NX are you running? NX8.5 shows free edges if you use the "Element Edges" command in the Advanced Simulation toolbar; the default highlights these pink. If you are meshing onto geometry the blue lines could be geometry edges rather than shell edges.

    Tetra and tria element

    Fully agree with previous posts, I would not touch tet4s under any circumstances. It takes a bit of time to prepare geometry but it's worth doing in order to generate a brick rather than tet10 mesh.

    NX7.5 Customer defaults

    The customer defaults are kept in a *.dpv file. You can customise your defaults then export the *.dpv file allowing multiple users to have the same set-up.

    NX8.5 Simulation - Node Display

    Apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate forum for simulation questions. I am an NX8.5 user and am confused about groups of nodes. When a group of nodes is displayed the desired nodes are shown as are the connected elements and their nodes. The results is more nodes on screen that...
