    Simple section sweep issues

    Platform: NX4 I am trying to create a simple sweep from a .18" circle to a .10" circle using a curve between the two center points as a guide. (i.e. I am making a converging duct) Issue 1: The resulting shape is not linear The little guide arrows point different directions, which means the...

    Using Associative points

    Software: NX4 I am trying to create a sketch plane on the ID of a conical surface. For some reason I cannot create a point using an axis and the conical surface. Any help would be appreciated.

    Circular Instance in NX4

    Does anybody know how to do a circular instance of a sweep in NX 4? I have created a funnel shaped hole using the sweep command, then subtracting it from my solid. I would then like to instance (pattern) about the axis of my part. However, when I start the instance command, the solid part I...

    Slow performance when regenerating instances

    I am currently modeling a heatsink (pin array, ~1500 .040 pins) using a combination of rectancular and circular arrays. The problem I am facing is that it takes 10 min to regenerate my part when I change something. Is there a way to speed up the regeneration process? Or only have UG...

    Creating a 3D parametric spline in NX4

    Does anyone know how to create a 3D parametric spline in NX4? I am currently trying to make a 3D spline using 5 non-planer points. I will be using this spline to define the path of a swept feature, which I would like to be parametric. Thanks for the help.

    UG Pattern Questions

    Software Re: NX2 or NX4 Constraints: Parametric model I am trying to figure out how to create a pattern (diamond) of cylinders on a cylidrical surface. I would idealy like the cylinders normal to the surface, but that isn't a must have. Question 1: What is the easiest way in UG to do this...
