Is there a function or module that can do nesting of NX parts within a defined area?

Specifically I need to fit as many copies or a 2D profile into a sheet of material as I can get for a punching / cutting operation.

Thanks!

Sheet Metal Manufacturing has a nesting module, but it covers more than just nesting.
Depensing on the complexity of your shape, it can be done manually.
