Advanced modeling literature

Advanced modeling literature

Advanced modeling literature

(OP)
Does anyone know of any good literature for advanced modeling in NX4?  I know that there is an advanced modeling book for NX2 from Design Visionaries but they do not seem to have what I'm looking for that applies to NX4.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

RE: Advanced modeling literature

I suspect that the NX 2 book pretty much covers what's in NX 4 as well.  Now if it were NX 5 info that you were looking for, that would be a totally different story.

RE: Advanced modeling literature

John,

Why because NX-5 went G3?

Lurks,

We once tried to explain curves and surfaces to an engineer who thought he was going to learn CAD. He started out by picking apart the acronym NURBS for Non Uniform Rational B-surfaces. Then he went on to interrogate the B, which he discovered came from Pierre Bézier who came up with the mathematics of curves used to design automotive bodies. When he showed uo the following day with an expensive mathematical text book about Bézier curves, we knew it might take a while to get him to accept that somebody else already wrote the darned software. You'd do better to look into some training on what the system actually does and take in some reading about industrial design and the like if you want to tackle the surface studio side of things. Either way I think we could guide you better were you to frame your question in terms of what you're setting out to achieve, the way you put it was just to say advanced which could mean almost anything.

Best Regards

Hudson

Hudson,

Primarily because of all of the changes in the User Interface.  The differences between NX 2 and NX 4 were very minor, but with NX 5 the look and feel as well as much of the functionality changed significantly.
