    Convert RBE3 to RBE2 in NX Sim?

    Does anyone know of a quick way to convert RBE3 elements in NX Advanced Simulation to RBE2 (or vice versa)? I'm not feeling optimistic based on what I've tried so far (if only I could drag and drop the mesh from an RBE3 to an RBE2 collector!), but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I'm using...

    Simulation: Combining load cases for imported results

    I have a simulation file into which I've imported results for four subcases. Is there any way to create a linear combination of these subcases without having to solve the model in NX? From what I see in the help menus, the only way to combine load cases is to right-click on the "results"...

    Converting multiple RBE2 elements to RBE3 quickly?

    I have a model with about 100 Rigid (RBE2) elements and would like to convert them all to Constraint (RBE3) elements, without having to add the interpolation factor individually to each element. I've heard there is an easy way to do this in Femap, but I'm having a hard time finding a way to do...

    Groups of nodes

    Is there a way in NX6 Simulation to create groups of nodes only? It seems that adding nodes to a group currently brings along all of the elements attached to those nodes - and all of the nodes attached to those elements, whether I want them or not. Quick example: Say I want to merge a few...
