    Can some explain strategies for applying a datum system at a global level e.g. an entire car, plane?

    Many thanks 3DDave, I did imagine something of that nature, that it would come from what can be achieved in production. I have vague recollections about doing SPC (Statistical Process Control) studies and determining things like Cp, Cpk But that was many decades ago since I was on the...

    Can some explain strategies for applying a datum system at a global level e.g. an entire car, plane?

    Hi All, I am curious to understand the bigger picture as when we talk about applying GD&T, it always see to be at a micro/part level. It seems like we are, understandably, always focused on the this fine detail at the part and assembly level. What i would really like to know if anyone has...

    Center of Gravity (CG, CoG) for a Component made up of Solid Bodies and Unsewn Surfaces?

    Hi All, I'm using NX 12.0.2.9 and have a supplier model that was previously imported. It comprises of a mixture of solid bodies and (unsewn) surfaces. Trying to measure it various ways to identify the CoG does not appear to work on a component comprised of mixed bodies. I don't need the mass...

    Aerospace - Self Tensioning Drive Belts ?

    Ok yes, I see your point regarding certification, there probably are some but I need to expand my search to see what I find. That is generally the direction I have been working on. I am essentially designing tensioning system into the compressor mounting bracket. Utilising a tie rod for...

    Aerospace - Self Tensioning Drive Belts ?

    Hi SwinnyGG, Thanks for the reply. I agree that it would seem more logical to use a chain than a belt especially given environmental factors. As for the difference, having worked in both Aero / Auto industries for many decades, I would say is significant, in short much higher standards & costs...

    Teamcenter and Excel (Live) Integration ?

    Hi All, I often search for large amounts of data, typically an entire system, 10,000 rows exported to excel. Exporting the data is easy enough. I then import it using Power Query, turn it into a useful search / reference index of many many attributes output from Teamcenter, it is extremely...

    Aerospace - Self Tensioning Drive Belts ?

    Hi All, RE: Compressor system, belt driven. I'm looking to develop a system whereby I'd like to consider the possibilty of removing the need for the tensioning mechanism. I've seen in the automotive sector that there is such a 'Self-tensioning' (stretch fit) drive belt. I will of course...

    How to organize 'Sections' in the NX 10.0, Assembly Navigator in Modeling?

    How can I organize / order the Sections I create in modelling in the Assembly Navigator, in NX10.0 ? I cannot seem to organize / order them alphabetically by clicking on the top of the column in the navigator has no effect. Nor can I find a right click option to add / select a filter. It seem to...

    NX10, Drafting - How to move the 'Leader Line' position on the Detail View circle?

    Thanks Sole_Survivor, I've been wracking my brains for awhile over this, :) very nice. My mistake had been always (somewhat logically) going into Edit Mode to make the change. Best Regards Tetragrammaton :)

    NX10, Drafting - How to move the 'Leader Line' position on the Detail View circle?

    Hi All, Seems I have forgotten the "trick" to be able to move the leader line position on a Detail view circle. In case it's not super clear, by move, I mean that if my leader line from the Detail View letters is attached to the circle. Say in the upper left quadrant of the circle and I need to...

    I am currently looking for online QFD training? I've found that the ASQ has a course but is there any other equally good. Best Regards Tetragrammaton :)

    Vismockup Navigator zoom / scale ?

    Hi, As for an optional product, that is not a possibility to use (nor of interest) since this is the clients corporate system, hence not subject to change. No, not PTC or Dassault, Teamcenter Visualization is part of the Siemens product range. SIEMENS: Teamcenter Visualization 11 Best...

    Vismockup Navigator zoom / scale ?

    My typical default layout is the main graphic window with 2 docked windows on the left The upper left hand docked window is the Part Navigator. Below this is the Navigator window as it is called in Vismockup. I am, as I said, trying to understand if I can increase (or zoom) this image in the...

    Vismockup Navigator zoom / scale ?

    Hi All, I use Vismockup quite a lot. One thing I have not found is a way to increase the size of the image in the Navigator. Does anyone know if this is even possible? It would be of great help. Thanks Best Regards Tetragrammaton :)

    Creating a pattern of independent points on a toroidal surface in NX9

    Hi John, Thanks for the reminder, I've perhaps gotten 'wrapped around the axle' looking at Arrays. I will check it out and let you know how I get on. Best Regards Tetragrammaton :)

    Creating a pattern of independent points on a toroidal surface in NX9

    Hi All, Trying to find a way to creating an array of any type on the outer surface of a toroidal face. In my case I need in the region of 2000 points and up. Naturally the size is not the issue it is creating that many points with a single array function. My question is, is it possible and if...

    NX9 Sketch - DOF (Degrees of Freedom) arrows not visible?

    Doh, Thanks Cowski, Quite right, not sure what happened there. Clearly asleep today :) also expect I got mixed up thinking about something else. Thanks for the reminder, I think I've been on this other project for too long 'Expression' modelling. Have a great day. Regards David Best Regards...

    NX9 Sketch - DOF (Degrees of Freedom) arrows not visible?

    Hi Kapil, Thanks for the reply, I am not sure what is wrong with the image, I can see it but will try and upload another image type later. I also should have clarified that the Auto Dimensioning / Constraining setting is OFF so not sure what else it could be. As I said also I am puzzled by the...

    NX9 Sketch - DOF (Degrees of Freedom) arrows not visible?

    Hi All, Been using NX9 since it was updated on our system in Q4. I've noticed that during sketching that the DOF arrows are not visible. I have tried toggling /switching them On/Off with it seems no success. Apologies if I have missed something but I have tried searching for variations on this...
