Hello,
First let me say this is just a 'tentative' question, a 'how possible is this...' sort of question! I'm currently using NX 6.0.
I have a set of polyhedra that tessellate in 3D space that I would like to trim to a set of surfaces (or intersect with a solid). It looks like to do this 'manually' isn't a particularly efficient use of time (using 'trim' and selecting hundreds of polyhedra and then the surface is the best way I've found) so I was wondering how this could be automated in NX?
From what I can tell from a quick look through the CAST, there seems to be a fairly hardcore approach using C to run NX, but is there a more non-programmer friendly method to essentially do batch operations? John R. Baker wrote me an ace bit of GRIP code a while back for generating batches of tubes from separate curves, could this be an appropriate route?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
