we use the Master Modeler also. We have bidirectional communication between NX and Tc. Attributes changed in Tc will change in the part and drawing (if mapped there) and if the value is changed in NX the value is changed in Tc. We use style sheets to see our attributes, not the forms.
Actually, even if it is not used in an assembly you may not be able to delete it if it is referenced somewhere or by something. Just replacing the part in the latest assembly may not work either if it was used in a prior revision. You will need to remove it from all assemblies and delete any...
After submitting to GTAC and digging into what was causing this behavior, it turned out that Ronald was 100% correct about the ABS CSYS except that we created our parts with the first CSYS as an ABS CSYS. After changing this to Dynamic CSYS, the deformed parts moved back to the position they...
Sorry, I've been away for a bit. I don't know of any easy way to link a note on another sheet to the quantity value in the BOM. If you have Teamcenter you may be able to value from the structure manager or pull it from an xml sheet in NX.
Thanks John, that would seem to be the best, cleanest work around to the problem. I was a bit surprised that it let you convert it to sheetmetal after the deform. I guess that isn't considered as adding a feature.
I filled an IR yesterday with GTAC. The behavior was show to be the same in...
Thanks Millimeter and SvenBom for your input. Knowing the problem that NX8.5 had with NX7.5 deform parts and the mp03 fix is great. We're looking at going to 8.5 or 9 and having this knowledge before hand is very valuable.
Millimeter, I was debating if alt reps would be better to "simulate" the...
After using yours and doing modifications and alterations to try to zero in on the issue, it appears that the sheet metal is the culprit. So far it appears that the contour flange function and re-bend make the most trouble. Another oddity with the contour flange is that is you deform the part...
Here's the 2 assemblies, one before deforming the part and one after deforming the part.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c6951f6a-04f8-4629-b78d-b65cfc0534e9&file=DEFORM_ASSEMBLY.ZIP
OK, here's something I haven't seen before. I hope someone can tell me why this is happening so I can fix it.
I have a deformable part that is used in 4 places in the same assembly. The parts were made deformed in the assembly after they were all added and constrained. I also tried making the...
Surprised that it wasn't much worse but when you're using the "End to easy Design" PDM you have to expect......somethings not to work correctly? [wink]
That is close to what we have seen here at times. When an assembly cut is used to cut through several items in an assembly and then that assembly is imported into (or out of) Tc, the assembly cuts were not made and the tool was just solid body. This behavior is not predictable and seems very random.
Very good point Tim. That is something that has to be taken into account.
I always thought that was the case John but it seems sometimes that the more complex the assembly cuts are the more unstable it becomes in the upper assemblies. That is one reason I am asking this question, to see if...
The opposition to the WAVE application is having the model data at this assembly level since it is so low in the finished assembly process. Personally I much prefer using WAVE but we have had "Out of Date" issues and some maintenance issues with some WAVE parts in the past.
I have a small sub-assembly with only 8 parts. The parts have no holes at the part level. This sub-assembly (assy-1) will be used in the next, upper, sub-assembly (assy-2) where each part will have 1 to 2 holes applied. That sub-assembly (assy-2) will be used in the next upper assembly (assy-3)...
