Hey guys,
I am using the NX NASTRAN non-linear transient thermal solver to analyze some metallic and composite near-firezone structures. Post-processing in FEMAP. I have everything modeled as plate elements and I'd like to keep it that way.
Does anyone know how to (if possible) display/output...
Hey folks!
I'm attempting to use the Check Sum Forces tool in my API script. I'm a bit of rookie writing VBA but I have a little experience--but I have no experience writing VBA in the FEMAP API (as my pasted code probably shows). The goal of the script is to prompt the user to select a range...

Is there any way to Thicken a set of "disjoint" faces? I have a wing structure model that is all sheet bodies which I use for doing 2D shell elements and structural analysis. However, I now need to Thicken these sheet bodies in my .prt files to their appropriate thicknesses so that I...
Hey guys,

I am in the need of some kind of script (and thus scripting language) to execute my project but I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of coding languages NX supports and I don't know where to start. Currently, I am simply trying to write a script that extracts coordinates of a set of points in my...
