    symbolic thread use in a part family

    I think you will fine without thread pitch or pitch diameter as expressions in your table, to my knowledge this isn't going to mess anything up. NX is not going to give you a warning for instance when trying to put the screw into a hole saying "Pitch diameters are not compatible" or anything...

    symbolic thread use in a part family

    I know the error you are talking about, I have gotten the same thing before in the past. The method I have been using that has continued to work well is this: Define all symbolic thread parameters as expressions in your table (THREAD_MAJOR_DIA, THREAD_MINOR_DIA, THREAD_ANGLE, THREAD_PITCH).On a...

    break out family table members?

    I am using NX 8.5 with Teamcenter. I am creating large part family tables that define multiple instances of standard fasteners. Word from a configuration management specialist is that the new PDM system which we are migrating to does not handle family parts very well. The goal in order to avoid...

    OS_PART_NAME in part family template

    I am using NX with Teamcenter to create a part family. In the spreadsheet it automatically creates columns for DB_PART_NO and OS_PART_NAME. What is the significance of OS_PART_NAME? I know it has something to do with Teamcenter, but I am not sure how this column of information is being used. For...

    Expression Formula frustration

    The issue is a so-called "tolerance" that exists as an appended note to the dimension is not going to be recognized as a parameterized tolerance value and used for evaluation in tolerance analysis tools.

    Expression Formula frustration

    I am hoping to put tolerance values in the part family spreadsheet so that I can generate multiple models with varying tolerances and those tolerances will properly update on the model. I am not concerned with the drawing at this time, just the model. I am incorporating tolerances into the PMI...

    Expression Formula frustration

    I need the tolerances of my PMI Dimensions to flow properly to other tools such as the VSA Teamcenter Tolerance stackup Analysis tool, so I am assuming appended text will not do the trick. Also, it is a table driven part with certain versions requiring different tolerances. So there is no...

    Tolerancing Information

    I am designing standard parts from spec sheets, and my goal is to add all the tolerance information into the model so that it can be used by downstream applications. My initial approach was to add the tolerance information by clicking on a dimension, going to ->Style, and then later selecting...
