    NXOpen: creating new file from a model template using wrapper functions

    Because you have certain limitations when custom BlockStyler window is open and a way to work around them is to use UF fucntions. Having said that, since asking the question I managed to solve the task using somewhat different approach.

    NXOpen: creating new file from a model template using wrapper functions

    Hello everyone! Is it possible to use legacy wrapper NX Open functions to create new file from a specified model template? I looked up UF_PART_new, but it only creates new file from Blank template.

    Aluminium alloy assembly with carbon steel fasteners

    Hello everyone! If aluminium alloy assembly is held together with carbon steel fasteners (screws, washers, sometimes nuts as well) in the industrial environment, will there be an issue with contact corrosion? Shall we galvanize steel fasteners? If so, what is the recommended coating? Will zync...

    Which CAD was used to design Stratolaunch?

    Regarding the flat sides. They need a big ground clearance for the payload, therefore the height of the fuselage is given. But it is not worthy to make its width similar, thus getting closer to the cylindrical cross-sections. That would mean extra material and weight for nothing in return...

    Which CAD was used to design Stratolaunch?

    Very impressive! Does anybody know which CAD did they use? Was it NX, CATIA, or something else? www.cadroad.com

    Friction in pneumatic cylinder

    Hello everyone! Pneumatics and sealings is not exactly my field, hence the question. Is there a rule of thumb helping to estimate losses in the pneumatic cylinder? Pristine Force calculation is obviously Area times Pressure. Is it possible to estimate the reduction of the force due to friction...

    Renumber "P" expressions in NX10

    By the way how come that in the complex parts NX quickly rakes p-numbers up to 5 and 6-digit numbers? Not very convenient. www.cadroad.com

    Obtaining position of a list member

    Really should be OOTB, I found a documentation for it. Why none of my NX versions has it I have no idea! Maybe some obscure enviroment variable has to be set? www.cadroad.com

    Obtaining position of a list member

    I have no access to this fuction. Here's the video. No idea about the reason! Are you sure the function is OOTB??? www.cadroad.comhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9ee62dcd-7f6c-462d-9e9f-6ff031d9370b&file=WTF.avi

    Obtaining position of a list member

    Just tried and discovered that I have no access to this function OOTB. Either it appeared only in NX11 (I tried in 8.5 and 10), or you have customized your NX to have it and forgot about it! :) www.cadroad.com

    Obtaining position of a list member

    Hi Taylor! Thanks, I will have a look! I know about the PTS solution for this case. I was looking into possibilities to emulate something similar without the PTS. :) The larger use case is to pick options by descriptive name rather than trim number. It might be useful for some UDFs I am working...

    Obtaining position of a list member

    Hello everyone! Let's assume I have a list of some string values. It is possible to use nth function to obtain value at given position. Does a out-of-the-box function exist to solve a reverse task - to obtain position of a given value? For example, to obtain 2 if "Trim 2" is given...

    Definition of Design Intent

    Of course, I tried googling Desing Intent Definition. It is how I realised that no formal definintion actually exists. Moreover, I KNOW what is design intent. I merely was interested to find if there is a universal formal definition that I can use rather than explainig it evety time I need it...

    Definition of Design Intent

    Hello everyone! Does formal definition of a term 'Design Intent' exist? I'm interested in the version of it that is related to the parametric CAD models. I found it hard to find a strict definition, perhaps because it is considered a universal knowledge. www.cadroad.com
