I'm new to stress analysis with Nastran, and am trying to find a way to calculate internal stress values on a cross section of a part. I'm running a simple static tension load case using SOL101 on a hollow cylindrical housing. The output file shows surface stresses on the part, but I need...
I am having the same issue with not being able to make a sketch external to a feature; in my instance, I have a counterbored hole with that was patterned using the "pattern feature" tool.
I need to change the plane the defining sketch is located on, so I need to make the sketch external to the...
I was recently upgraded from NX 8.5 to NX 9, and I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to copy my customizations from NX 8.5 to my NX 9 user profile.
Last time I had to upgrade and wanted to save my settings (when moving from NX 7 to 8.5) I just copied and pasted my .mtx and .pax files...
My company produces lots of long, slender parts (motor driveshafts) so we use a lot of broken views in our drafting. I noticed after starting work here that broken views in NX shift the view location on the field of drawing very slightly when they update. This, in turn, dramatically reduces the...
That's right; the drafting isn't much help, since it was all redrawn in NX after the software switch. I was hoping to use model compare for the more tedious, high volume part checks until we had a more well-established NX part library. Looks like it won't work out that way though; lots of...
This should be relatively easy, depending on how you're modeling your harness; if it's just a simple cylinder or other profile that needs to sweep along a spline, just create a "sweep along a path" feature in your detail part that will represent your harness. Then, in the deform part dialog, add...
Yes, I am using Teamcenter 9; it's strange that you mention TC working well with Model Compare to evaluate revision differences, because that's always been my main complaint about it. The way we have Teamcenter set up, you can only have one revision of a given file open at the same time. So, if...
First post here; I searched the forum for threads on the "Model Compare" utility and didn't see anything on this specific topic:
Can anyone comment on what (if any) imported file type works best with the NX 8.5 model compare tool? My company recently changed CAD platforms from Solidworks and...
