A way to let one value of the dimension takes value from an array?

[CXSrt]

Hello,

I want to conduct a parameter study for a design. The CAD model is designed in SIEMENS NX and then imported into the simulation software.

I want to change the value of one variable and see how the simulation result changes. Is there a way in NX to let the dimension take the value from an array and then export them?

An example would be, the thickness of a panel is denoted by d. I want the d takes value from 10 to 100 with a step of 10. And model of each d value will be exported in STP format.

NX version: 12



Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It's very easy by using tools spreadsheet and build a family. But the result is .prt and not .stp
You can export to stp manually after.

A journal could be made to vary certain parameters and export the resulting model. The link below is an example of a journal that takes values from a spreadsheet and updates the model. Perhaps it can be used as a starting point for your needs.
