NX8: Replace component based on expression condition

[RareEarth]

Dear all,

I am looking for option to use replace component... function available in assembly navigator using expression.

For example if we have five parts made by part families
child1_100,
child2_200,
child3_300,
child4_400,
child5_500

And a driving expression “child = 100” based on this condition at a time only one must be available in the assembly. This requirement is very similar to suppression by expression, but I want it for substitute.

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I would take a look on "Assembly Families".
This allows you to create combinations of childrens of partfamilies with other components.

Hi Leon,

You are very near to it, thank you for this information. Additionally can you or anyone know to deal with assemblies using expressions in the way part families handles it.

Problem for me for not using the above approach is that few children are dynamic and are controlled by expression. Also the child count is not fixed; user can add or remove components on fly.
