I'm creating a drawing package, and on some sheets I want to see certain objects while on others I don't want to see them. Is there a way to tell the drafting application what to show on what sheet? For instance, I want 'Revolve (5)' on sheet 1, but not on sheet 4.
Thanks for any help
I'm working with 12.1 Mechanical APDL and trying to write a macro that outputs strain data. I'd like to output interlaminate shear strain on a shell element, unfortunately the program only outputs shear stress. I'd like to just divide the table by the strain modulus (GXZ,GYZ), but do it in a...
Thanks John, I will keep that in mind for the future. I had tried Join Face to no success, and even rough offset is not working properly but I think it's just a bad surface.
I am trying to combine a set of faces in NX7. I have sewn the faces and created a body, removed parameters, and NX leaves 3 separate faces. Is there a way to turn these 3 faces into a single face?
Hello,
Is there a way to 'package' an assembly file? I'd like to have an assembly become a single part file, where I wouldn't need to keep track of two separate files. I have a drawing template that creates an assembly when used, but it is unnecessary to have 2 files (one is the template...
ewh, I think that might work. I had tried something like that but the points didn't seem to match what I wanted.
John - not in this case. I have a set of points, and actually I want both a curve and points from this set so I can place datums at each of the points on the curve.
Is there any tool that creates a set of points from a file? I am currently trying to create a set of around 16 points on a curve that are not uniformly spaced along this curve and had the thought that since I have the location of these points maybe I could just read in a file to place the...
Hello,
I am trying export a series of intersection curves to text files (or a single text file). There will be something like 550 curves on my current model and as many as 1700 curves on another model. I have a grip (I believe it was actually written by John Baker) that exports an airfoil...
I am trying to run an optimization in NX7 and am getting an "Internal Error: Memory Access Violation" message when I run the optimization. Anyone know what would cause this error?
Hello,
I have been working on a model for a few days that utilizes pretension elements to simulate bolt tension. The bolts are modeled as beam elements connected to the top and bottom of bolt holes by MPCs. The flanges the bolts hold together have contact surfaces between them that are set to...
Hello,
I am trying to create a set of points on a curve, but they are not at equal distances from each other. As far as I can tell, the point set tool will not work unless the points are evenly spaced. Is there a way for me to create a set of points (there are 28 points) along a curve at set...
Thank you very much, that helped solve my main issue. Now I wonder if there is any way to have the draft take just a cross section as opposed to a section view? The section view for this model picks up a lot more detail than I would like.
Is there a way to create section views at a set distance along an object? I am trying to create a drawing of a blade with 50 equally space section cuts, but so far the only way I see to create section cuts is to manually place them along the drawing.
I am trying to make a model that can generate a tower with a various number of sections, for example right now it has 3 but may need more or less in the future. Is there a way to define a number of sections expression that allows me to add unique sections, basically copying a list of...
