This seems like it would be an easy thing to find the answer for but after many hours of searching I cannot come up with it. I can easily calculate the cusp height for machining a surface with a ball endmill and a given stepover but I cannot find a formula for calculating the theoretical surface...
In turning I can select the part in Geometry -> MCS_Spindle -> Workpiece -> Specify Part and the Part Spun Outline gets created for me. I would like to do something similar in milling; the part that I am milling is cylindrical with radial grooves and many flats on the cylinder body, so the blank...
What I am looking for is - if I chuck a hollow cylinder in a horizontal lathe, how much force is required for a chuck jaw (the one at the 'top', that is 12:00 if viewed from either end of the cylinder's axis) to retain the cylinder? I know that coefficient of friction factors in to this, and I...
Please forgive me if my terminology is not correct, I'm here on this forum precisely because I am not well versed in this topic...
What I am looking for is - if I chuck a hollow cylinder in chuck mounted to the spindle of a horizontal lathe, how much force is required for a chuck jaw (that is...
The parts that do this are imported from SolidWorks, I have attached a screen shot. I am working in NX8 and using the Manufacturing function. The only way I can get it back to the normal color is to switch to Part Navigator and uncheck the model but that means I have to regenerate all toolpaths...
Hello all, I have a family of parts that typically has two cylinders which intersect; I am looking for the point that is farthest from the midpoint of the largest cylinder's axis...
The angle between the two cylinders is either 45° or 60°
One cylinder, let's call it the main cylinder, is...
I was following along with John Joyce's PLM World 05 PowerPoint for the probing example... this is what my current procedure looks like:
proc PB_CMD_probeXpos {} {
global mom_probex_status
global mom_probex_pos
#if { $mom_probex_status != "ACTIVE" } { return}
set probex_pos [ format %3.4f...
I followed this article on Siemens PLM website:

I had good success right up to the end when the presenter has you post it out and got this error...
Received an error 1770002

Perhaps "Feature Tree" is not the proper terms but that is what my Solidworks instructor called it, geez, that was a long time ago... at any rate I read this while searching this forum for the answer to my question...
Is the *.xmt_txt file format only available in SW Pro? I have tried saving...
