Slower surface area generation time from NX2-NX4 solution?
Slower surface area generation time from NX2-NX4 solution?
(OP)
Simple surfaces that can be generated in mere seconds using NX2 are taking upwards of a minute to re-generate in NX4. I'm talking about the exact same surface and tool. Is there some sort of collision check turned on by default or assistant mode I need to turn off? Our production in the programming dept. is slower as a result.
Thanks in advance!

Is this to do with machining the Surfaces?
My only thought is that NX4 could be outputting higher degree surfaces than NX2 did either due to the way it's programmed or more likely the customer defaults need looking at. This would be when the parts are actually being modelled.
If you used to receive degree 3 surfaces and now receive degree 5 could this make the machining slower?
Just a hunch.
