Hi All, I need to measure the torque on a shaft. Since the shaft surface is not accessible, I want to measure the shear stresses using strain gauges on the face of the flywheel that is attached to one side of the shaft. How should I build a bridge for such measurement? Thanks

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if Siemens is planning to release a newer version of NX (11?) any time soon, and if so, what are the improvements that we can expect to see? Thanks

I'm trying to export a geometry (let's say a simple cylinder) created in NX into the STL format, and I want to get a fine triangulation pattern with reasonable aspect ratios, similar to what you create in a mesh for FEA for example. However, I am getting a series of triangles with really high...

I'm trying to write a journal file to repeat the same simulation by changing some load parameters, and write the strains results of each scenario at some specific nodes to a text file. Right now, when the solution starts, journal file moves to the next lines, and tries to open the results file...

I have a structural simulation in NX 8.0 and I want to repeat it by changing the applied load angle between 40 to 180 degrees in 1 degree increments, and record the strains at 4 specific node numbers to a text file. I believe this can be done in NX by some kind of programming. I've looked at NX...

I have a solid body that is sitting on top of a sheet body, and I need them to be combined/united/sewn/stitched, so I can later get a continuous mesh in fem. What is the best way to do this in modeling? I know I can combine two solid bodies with unite and sew, and two sheet bodies with sew, but...

In NX 8.0, is there any way to select elements (and create a group of them) based on their location, e.g. select all the elements that have a centroid x-coordinate between 3 and 5?

Is there any way to join/combine/sew sheets that make a 90 degree angle in modeling? I am looking for a function similar to stitching, but in Modeling, so I won't have to stitch the edges when I transfer the part to advanced simulation. Thanks

When trying to sew two sheet bodies I get this error message. What do you think is the problem, and how can I fix it? Thanks

I'm importing a STEP file into NX 8.0. The file is imported as a lot of sheet bodies. The plan is to create midsurfaces and then do the analysis. I believe I have to create solid bodies from the sheet bodies, and then do the midsurface. Is there any shortcut to do this? Is there a way to create...
