MATLAB 3D surface to NX

[moleroal]

Dear all,

For many years I have followed this forum, and it gives me nice solutions, or ideas for Nx.
At these time, I send one question for another software that is so used on egineering and I need to comunicate with Nx.

I´m trying to resolve the idea to have a complex MATLAB surface, in a NX model.
The options that I see, at these moment are:
1.) Using a NXOpen.
tranlate all Matlab program to visual basic, and use on a NXopen option for Nx to draw the same surface.
2.) Or try to use the STL transfer file, but I loss quality, or if I increase the precission of the tretrahedrons, the file is about 1,5Gb. And Is not usefull.


Sincerely,
Alberto

Newer versions of NX have a "body by equation" command; but it looks like it only works in conjunction with Maple (as opposed to MATLAB). If your program can output points, you might try the "through points" or "fit surface" commands in NX.

Stl import / export will approximate the whatever shape into triangles / a point cloud.
you will , in NX, receive a "shape" but no surface.
The faceted data can be used for some applications such as CAM but it works poorly in drawing views.
In case you want a surface, you need to reverse engineer this by mapping surfaces to the points.
