    Meshing a Solid - JT Format

    I'm having some trouble getting a feature to work that I believe should be pretty straight forward. I have a .jt format of a solid body created from Pro/E. I open this file within NX 9 and everything appears normal. I then create a solid mesh on the geometry, again, everything looks fine. The...

    NX 8.5 Advanced Simulation: Hex to Tet

    Thanks again for the reply Blas, I'll keep that in mind when meshing. I was able to get around my problem by changing the type of "mesh mating condition". If I use the "glue coincident" option the face on one of the bodies will always be deleted. It's almost like NX is taking the two separate...

    NX 8.5 Advanced Simulation: Hex to Tet

    Had another question along the same lines as my first post. I have a part which is sliced into a few sweepable areas. I was able to get the pyramid elements to work just fine for this part. I have another, similar part in which I am trying to accomplish the same thing. The problem is when I...

    NX 8.5 Advanced Simulation: Hex to Tet

    Blas, The "mesh mating condition" was the step that I was missing. Thank you very much! Regards, Kyle Stoker Structures Engineer Florida Turbine Technologies, INC.

    NX 8.5 Advanced Simulation: Hex to Tet

    I was curious if NX8.5 supported pyramid elements? I would like to transition between a swept hex mesh to a tetrahedral mesh, but can't find any options to do so. From what I've seen on the web it looks like this was an explicit option in 6.5, but that option appears to have gone away. I'm...
