I know that NX8.5 support an intelligent support for rib, but we are on NX8, so I ask you which is the best method to create ribs like the picture attached.

Thank you...

There are plenty of ways to create it! Depends what the design intent is and what information you have. I would create a sketch from the top view and extrude it to the circular surface and whatever heigh you need.

Here are couple of approaches, one for NX 8.0 and the other for NX 8.5.

John,
the NX8 example has satisfied my question.
For NX8.5 is what I've done in my test.


Thank you...
