    Statics question....

    I think what I can do is treat it as being supported by a pin on the right bottom corner of the bottom horizontal beam and a roller on the bottom surface on the left of the bottom beam.

    Statics question....

    So this structure is sitting in the ground. That bottom member is on the ground. This the restraining forces to horizontal displacement is friction between the bottom horizontal beam and the ground. Rotation is prevented by the bottom member (length of gamma) pressing against the ground. I...

    Statics question....

    Hey folks, So i am designing a metal structure and i am having a little trouble figuring out the reaction forces in a rigid truss with the shown loading. i'd appreciate some advice! thanks folks...

    Constraining motion of a pin in a slot

    Awesome that is exactly what I was looking for. Is there any way to constrain the motion so that when the pin hits the end of the slider it stops and the pin stays in the hole (rather than continue into the slot's solid body)? Thanks so much! -Ben

    Constraining motion of a pin in a slot

    Hey folks, i'm trying to do some very basic assembly constraints to make a linkage system. I have been using the Touch Align -> Infer Center/Axis to make pin-hinges, but I am trying to now make a pin in a slot so that when I actuate the mechanism manually using the move component feature, the...

    displaying different color parts and decals all at once

    when I click on system materials, it won't let me do anything. all the options are gray'ed out so it won't let me click on any of the options in the pop up window:

    displaying different color parts and decals all at once

    essentially what i'm effectively trying to do is have "true shading" on while also having the effects of studio. I've gone into "true studio task" and it only lets me assign a limited number of colors (Plastic object colors, plasticine, etc..)

    displaying different color parts and decals all at once

    hey folks, I am trying to render my part. I am using the "true shading editor" to apply colors to different faces of my part but then I also want to add decals. when I add the decals though it removes the "true shading" scheme and vice versa. Is there a way to maintain the decals AND to color...

    Help making a specific featureà. NX8.5

    Hey Folks, So I am trying to make a shell that fits inside this rocket fairing. so I sketched this thin walled (bent) cylindrical pressure vessel inside of it on a central plane: and I extruded it out to "next" so that it is snuggly inside the fairing, maximizing the use of space in the...

    NX 8.5 revolve feature isn't working as expected

    Hey Folks, So I am relatively new to NX8.5, however I have been successfully able to make solid revolve features before. I know it seems stupid trivial but for some reason NX isn't creating a solid shell for me when I try to revolve a somewhat large scale sketch. Here is what NX is giving me...
