Hi there
I'm making a quick overview model of a penstock for a power plant and I'm constructing one of the bends with parametric modelling.
The bend is a 135 degree bend (path deviates to 45 degrees from horizontal) comprised from several straight pipe sections angle-cut and welded together...
Hi there!
Given a beam/profile like this
With a force applied normally to one end and given no degrees of freedom at the other, the beam is experiencing pure tensile stress.
It should be, anyway.
In reality, what happens is that the beam bends drastically outwards and experiences bending...
Hi there
Got this gate which has
A: 17 mWC of water pressure evenly distributed on its front face.
B: Support and restriction from moving in X- and Y-directions. Restricting from rotation around X- and Y-axis.
C: Support and restriction from moving in Y-direction. Restricting from rotation...
Hello
After updating from Ansys 14.5 to Ansys 15, the behavior of the "Graph"-animation has changed for the worse.
While in Solution, the increase in stress and deformation works its way up to time=1, but instead of gradually working its way backward and down to time=0 again, it jumps straight...
Hello all
I'm looking for someone to help me with an annoying problem I'm having with shaded views in exported PDFs of drawings.
We upgraded to NX8 this spring but there have been a few issues. One of them is this:
There is tremendous aliasing/jaggies going on in the shaded views of...

Upon placing a radius dimension on an arc, it automatically generates an extended line for that radius that extends far beyond the actual arc.
I can move the dimension around freely, but I want to remove that extended line.
When I turn off...
Hello there
We've recently upgraded from NX6 to NX8 and one of the great new features is the view break-function which I am trying to use.
I've got a piping assembly which is too long the drawing to be readable, and I'm therefore shortening the pipes with the view break-function. It gives me the...
I'm calculating stresses in bolts and surrounding concrete for this "foot" that supports a column much taller than what I've drawn here:
I know the distances between A, B and C and I know the moment/torque (not so sure on the English here) about point A is 155 kNm.
The question is: in which...
Hi there
Setting the scale of a view to 1:250, the label shows up as 2:500.
Now, I understand that 2:500 = 1:250, but is there a way to customize this so that the label reads 1:250?
Cheers!

I'm drawing up a pipe-assembly, and two of the pipe sections are very long compared to the small, but interesting main part of the pipe-assembly (which the drawing focuses on).
I know I can use broken-view to "shorten" one of the pipe-sections so that it doesn't take up too much space on my...
Picking up where thread561-276946 left off.
Came across this nifty tutorial for creating custom crosshatching in NX. See pages 356 to 361 in the attached pdf-file! There are some limitations to how well you can define these, so a good looking "concrete crosshatching" is probably unreachable...
Hi there
Thought I might bother you all with some more reference-set whining.
I'm making drawings of a dam, and this dam contains certain pipes and gates surrounded by concrete. Now, for the recess-plan-drawings of this dam, I need to show the dam as it looks like when it's under construction...
I'm designing this frame which will move back and forth on a static chain (illustrated in black). What is the component called that you attach to the end of the chain for further attachment to (for instance) that L-profile at the right?
I can't for the life of me figure out what it's called...
