    Update Undo Happened NX - Restarting NX

    I have an inconsistent problem with the error Update Undo Happened. Usually when something downstream of a change breaks, NX tells me the error but allows me to complete the update and click through the error pop-up window. After this I go down the feature tree, find the error, and fix it...

    NX11 Flat Pattern Helix Template

    For example, the following link shows a SW method called lofted bends for modeling a helix in sheet metal. I wonder if there is an NX equivalent work around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_jDzBkaUh8

    NX11 Flat Pattern Helix Template

    Thank you, flattening and forming did produce a flat object, but it was not useful here as it lost its position relative to the rest of the model. I think a better question is how to model a helix with sheet metal tools, if this is possible. The rest of the model is easy to convert to sheet...

    NX11 Flat Pattern Helix Template

    The actual geometry is even more complex, and I sometimes get a message when I convert to sheet metal: The body did not fully convert. The body has: -non-uniform material thickness, -has geometry that could not be converted. These areas will be defined as non-sheet metal areas.

    NX11 Flat Pattern Helix Template

    My end goal is to create a flat pattern of a complex part so a template & drawing can be made. I have a swept feature that I wish to make into a sheet metal pattern so I can flat pattern it. The feature is swept along a helix. I want to fold the helix flat. I try to convert the helix into a...

    ANSYS Random Vibration - PSD Tabular Data Input

    Does anyone know how to take an excel or text file and load it into Ansys Random Vibration instead of manually entering points into the tabular data? Thanks

    NX11.0 Hole Table Split

    Very odd, but I notice that when trying to split a hole table in NX 11 the option shows up under Settings>Common>Maximum Height, under which you enter the maximum height in inches/mm of what your want each piece of your table to be. HOWEVER, this Settings>Common>Maximum Height is ONLY available...
