    Technical Data Package TDP issues

    Hello, I'm trying to use the TDPwhich seams to be really nice but I have some issues with it. Bill of Materials: 1. In the BOM I would like to add the material. But when I do so it says "The Material Attribute was reset because it did not match the material assignment. This action was taken...

    CELAS stiffness direction

    Hello, How can I make the direction of the stiffness of a spring collinear with the spring element? In the properties of the spring I can only choose between X, Y and Z direction. Regards, Michel Groeten, Michel I use NX10 / NX1930 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 32GB Memory...

    Ignore assembly in sequence

    Hello, I want to make a sequence without all the sub-assemblies shown. Therefore I ignored these assemblies but they do not disappear. I have already set the property "ignored display" to Hidden. For separate components does it work but not for sub-assemblies. I have tried this in NX10 and also...

    Free Body Results interpertation

    Hello, I wonder how the "Free body Results" in NX Advanced Simulations works. I would like to know all the acting forces on a surface or a random chosen intersection. I heard this should be possible with this function. But when I calculate a bar with a tension force I don't get the same force...

I heard this should be possible with this function. But when I calculate a bar with a tension force I don't get the same force on a cross-section in...

    Decimal places

    It still doesn't give an answer on the question, right? At least I didn't find it. How can I get less decimals with the WRef1*0 annotation? Groeten, Michel I use NX10 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 64GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit www.kvi.nl A leading Dutch institute in atomic and...

    Helical coil M3

    I want to place a helical coil M3 metric coarse thread in a model but I only get the option for a 1D length. All other sizes do have many lengths. Is this forgotten for M3. And would it be possible to add it somewhere in a database? Michel Groeten, Michel I use NX10 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz...

    Large assemblies CATIA VS NX

    Dear All, Can anyone explain why Catia can handle large assemblies much better than NX (in our case NX10)? We are often having problems (slow) with handling large assemblies in NX which are even much smaller than the assemblies of our customer handles in Catia. Assemblies that we deliver to...

    nx constraint validation Solution

    thread561-379792 I found the solution for thread561-379792. It is just a setting. In the customer defaults - Assemblies - General - Product Interfaces, the "Assembly constraints" was set on "Encourage Use of Interface Object". This caused the warning every time I added a component to an...

    Count unique parts in assembly manually (tip)

    Hello, I have been looking for this some time and saw more people have this question. I have found a way how you can do this. Start visual reporting found under the information button which is between the pallettes at the side of the screen. Put the report type on Weigth kg Click on the wrench...

    Constraint Validation

    The assembly constraints is set to "Encourage Use of Interface Objects" and the Add Component positioning is set to "By Constraints". Do you mean that should set it to "Restrict Selection to Only Product Interface Objects"? But this setting only applies to new parts created by the model...

    Constraint Validation

    Just checked it. The component I add is the file that was imported via STEP. I wasn't aware of that myself. I thought it was the other way around.So there is nothing to do about it? Groeten, Michel I use NX9.0.0.19 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 64GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit...

    Constraint Validation

    I often get this message when I am placing constraints in an assembly with parts obtained from a step file. I can continue when hitting continue but it is annoying. How can I get rid of this? Groeten, Michel I use NX9.0.0.19 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 64GB Memory Windows 7...

    Rapid dimension - decimal place and numberic keypad

    Ok, I found the new hole callout command, that looks nice. Strange that it is a little bit hided and not imbedded in the rapid dimension command. I use NX9.0.0.19 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 64GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit Groeten, Michel www.kvi.nl A leading Dutch institute in...

    Rapid dimension - decimal place and numberic keypad

    I also hate this Really A Pain In D'ass function. It just doesn't work well. Why do they include such bad new functions in NX? Just to have something new? - I cannot move the dimension when the dialog is open when dimensioning a circle because it likes to select a second object; - It takes...

    Measure length of tube

    Yes that works. Thanks Kapil. Its an extra step but it works at least. I use NX8.5 HP Z600 Intel Xeon E5520 2.27GHz Dual Quadro FX 3800 5GB 9GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit Groeten, Michel www.kvi.nl A leading Dutch institute in atomic and subatomic physics

    Measure length of tube

    That's what I do. But I can not select the curve following the fillets. It just selects an arc or 1 line. I use NX8.5 HP Z600 Intel Xeon E5520 2.27GHz Dual Quadro FX 3800 5GB 9GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit Groeten, Michel www.kvi.nl A leading Dutch institute in atomic and subatomic physics

    Measure length of tube

    Hi, I would like to measure the length of a tube. When I create the tube I get the options "stop at intersection" and "follow fillet". But when I want to measure the length I don't get these options. Why not? I can not measure the length without these options. Regards, Michel I use NX8.5 HP...
