how to make design parametric

[avi19]

i want to construct an artistic designs and want to automate these designs. what procedure i should follow to make these designs parametric using NX????????????

You need to give more information on what you are doing ?

 

[zitounates]

there are two methode to make the parametric design with NX, You can use the Product studio Tools module to défine somes parameters for the designed object or you can use the user défined fonction to creates some sketch or fonction in NX module design.
Can you give us the détails of what you want?

they are others ways too but more info is needed

if i have created a leaf and want to make it parametric so that just by giving parameters to scale it between 0 to 1, i can construct it. or how can i create some canvas so that the canvas is used for creation of patch on which certain design is constructed and that patch can be scale, rotate or reflect about a point on canvas (corner point of rectangular canvas). i want to edit the journals in the NX to automate it.

 

[jerry1423]

simply scale the body and make sure associative is checked on in the menu
Go to your command finder (the binoculars) and enter scale body and you will be directed to where the scale command is (I don't know what version of NX you are on)
You can then edit the scale feature in your model tree or directly or thru the expressions

how should i find the parameters in art design and how should i define them. i want to construct such designs and want to make my own dialogue box in NX , so that after selecting the desire art pattern for the solid body , i can give parameters to the design like scale and arrange the design using array.

Hey avi19,

I'm not completely confident in terms of what you are after, but I may have something that could guide you to the right path:

See this first video on how to parametrically control a ladder design.

See this next video on how to create a dialogue box using Product Template Studio (PTS). This video jumps right into PTS which is an application you have to open outside NX, and should be included in your total NX package, given that you have the license for it. The PTS application provides you with the tools needed to arrange your design with your own GUI (dialogue box), where you use your expressions and features to automate your design. In NX10, PTS is integrated into NX, so take a look at this video if you have NX10.

Sorry, the first video should be this one.
