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

Yes, my application is not typical. I'm going to import this file into an open-source DEM code that uses this triangulation of the imported STL file in the post-processing of the results. Thus, refined better shaped triangles will create more meaningful contours. Technically, it shouldn't be...

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...

That is a clever solution. However, my problem is a bit more complicated. It is a bearing load, so I have both the load angle and the pressure distribution angles. Later, I want to extend it to also loop on some load magnitudes. I decided to do it in NX Open. Anyone knows of any sample code...

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'm using version 8.0. So I need to trim the sheet body by take off the imprint of the OD of the cylinder, leaving me with a sheet body with a hole equal to the size of OD. Then in FEM, stitch the edges of the sheet and solid bodies? Would I be able to use "Surface coat of 2D elements"...

THe object in yellow is a sheet body, and the one in grey is a solid body. I want to mesh the solid body with 3D elements, and the sheet body with shell elements, and I want them to be attached...

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?

So for a "T" shape, there is no way to attach sheet bodies in modeling, so they won't move in analysis, without using stitching or connecting elements (both available only in FEM)?

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

Imported from IDEAS.

It passes the consistency test, and for self-intersection I get "No Results". Same for other categories.

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...
