Thank you very much, this is exactly the "trick" I was looking for. Right in front of me the whole time. - Justin Heckman

Hello, I'm using the measure body analysis tool to determine where the centroid is relative to the absolute origin. I want to mark the centroid with a coordinate system so that I can use it in CAE analysis down the road. Does anyone have a trick for this besides manually inputting the datum...

Hello all, I'm determining the center of mass of a large assembly. Some components are created of many different materials, but are represented by a single body (imported .STP files mostly). Therefore, I want to define a mass to the body rather than set a material parameter. Is there a way...

I simplified the part disregarding the blends in the idealized part and ended up with qualifying elements. What if I wanted to include these blends in a comparative analysis? - Justin...

Here is a picture for some reference. These are some areas that I'm concerned about. I would like to redefine mesh quakity in certain areas, is that possible? - Justin Heckmanhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=29b84fdc-d2df-400e-b14e-e0a0ada9e981&file=concerns.jpg

Hello, I'm new to CAE and have general questions about mesh qualities. I'm working on an assembly FEM creating meshes now for the associated parts. My goal is to have solid (CTETRA(10)) elements throughout the assembly. I've created a mesh collector and associated 3D mesh for my initial...

I see. Thanks for the reply John. - Justin Heckman

Maybe my terminology is off, but yes that is what I am referring to. Why does this only occur in the idealized part? What is the purpose of randomizing ever face color? - Justin Heckman

When displaying the idealized part, why is the body faceted as in the attached picture? Is there a way to change the display of the faceted part? - Justin Heckman

Well that's simple enough! Thanks again @cowski - Justin Heckman

Hello All, I'm looking for the command or workflow to orient the graphics window view to a specified face. I know snap-fit (F8) will orient the view to the coordinate planes, but I want to orient to an angled face, that isn't on a coordinate plane. Is there a command for this? Thanks -...

Blas, What if I'm working with Teamcenter. Will these files output to another folder locally? Thanks - Justin Heckman

Thank you, this helps me to understand. - Justin Heckman

I'm got my mesh defined, material assigned and constraints proper. I solve the model and it converges with no errors. When I think attempt to display the results I get an error that "No results are found". WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! Please any help will be great. Thank you in advance - Justin...

I'm running NX 8.5 Advanced Simulation: I've meshed my body and ran an Element Quality check to find failed nodes. It resulted in 2 failed nodes, but I don't know the proper workflow to heal these failed nodes. Clearly I'm new to CAE, so any help would be great! Thanks all - Justin Heckman

I was asked to review the listed standard to determine if it applies only to new valves or also to worn valves. I have reviewed it and can find no specific statement about this. Does anyone know the specification for this? Thanks
