Slow performance when regenerating instances
Slow performance when regenerating instances
(OP)
I am currently modeling a heatsink (pin array, ~1500 .040 pins) using a combination of rectancular and circular arrays. The problem I am facing is that it takes 10 min to regenerate my part when I change something.
Is there a way to speed up the regeneration process? Or only have UG regenerate parts that changed instead of the whole part?

RE: Slow performance when regenerating instances
If you're using NX-5 you might do better with instanced features than arrays.

NX Version: NX4
Command I am using: Insert==>Associative copy==>instance==>circular array
Is there a better way to make a pattern?

Perhaps using Pattern Face in NX-4 may be more efficient than a feature array. You still find yourself creating rows and circular patterns but the whole system seems to be quicker and neater in the feature tree.
