    How to name surfaces in NX?

    Ah, I see. Though if I'm using this naming scheme on a solid I switch it to face. Thanks.

    How to name surfaces in NX?

    Hello, When working with external CFD packges, it's often useful to have some of the surfaces in the CAD model be named. How can I give a surface in NX a name? Thanks!

    How to work on the inside of a model?

    Hello, I'm looking to get on the inside of a model and do some work. In other codes the 'perspective' view will allow this, however it doesn't seem to work in NX. For example, if you have a hollow box, I would like to manipulate the view to get inside of the closed box and, say, fillet some...

    Abaqus units?

    Not to bash FEA, but you must admit it's a fair bit more forgiving than CFD. I understand the model must have consistent units, I was just wondering where the starting point was. By inheriting units, I meant that, if the file I input is in mm, the resulting output from FEA will be on that...

    Abaqus units?

    I have taken a course where we were introduced to NX-Ideas, though it was a bit ago. I suppose I've gotten too used to CFD applications where units are nearly always specified. I'm not too concerned with GIGO since I'm doing rather simple statics analysis - and FEA is a little easier on the new...

    Abaqus units?

    I'm new to abaqus, and I've got some simulations run, though they seem outlandish, and I'm wondering about units that may make my numbers incorrect. For example, when inputting a material, abaqus asks for the young's modulus, but it gives no indication as to what units I should give it. GPa? Pa...

    Making sheets a solid body

    Excellent. I can select it and it shows up as a solid. I really appreciate both of your guys' help.

    Making sheets a solid body

    According to this thread: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=287332&page=6 Making a sew of watertight sheets produces a solid. How can I verify that my object is, in fact, a solid? Also, why is it that when I sew a body together it sews, but when I use the sheets to solids assistant, it...
