Sheet unite? NX 6.0.1.5
(OP)
I solve problem with unite of the sheet part for advance simulation. (in Ideas is it easy). Is it any way to unite sheet part? Thanks.
ps:sorry for my english

If you have trouble finding the it in the menu the go to Help (pull-down) > command finder

So, check out either:
Insert > Model Cleanup > Stitch Edge > Manual Face to Edge
or
Insert > Mesh > 1D Connection > Edge to Face
I'm still unsure as to what the * best * approach is. Hopefully this helps.
RE: Sheet unite? NX 6.0.1.5
Thanks, but for my example it doesn't work correctly. For good results is necessary to rightly divide the face, but is it hard work on bigest assemblies. I hope that exist an one button function for unite. ;)

Its under Insert, trim
Not sure if thats what you are looking for, but I use it a lot while surfacing.

I just did the Insert > Model Cleanup > Stitch Edge > Manual Face to Edge approach, and it seemed to have worked just fine. Attached is a picture showing the output of a Check for Free Edges, showing that the edge meeting the face is NOT free anymore. You can also see that as a result, the meshes are coincident at their intersection.
Did you really try this approach and it didn't work for you?
RE: Sheet unite? NX 6.0.1.5
Now, I'm not a Simulation expert, but there are routines for refining meshes which can force the nodes of the elements on one face to align with nodes of the elements on an adjoining face. This is what you should be looking at in situations like this. After all, it's not the geometric model which is being used when solving a simulation problem, but rather the network of elements which REPRESENTS the geometric model which is being used. Getting that right is what counts.

yes, for this easy assembly it work. But for assembly on jpg file is it big problem. How I see, it isn't any another chance how to make it (only time demand Stitch Edge).
Thank you so much for help.
RE: Sheet unite? NX 6.0.1.5
Ahh yes. I share your exact frustration. Stitch Edge is only really useful for (a) small parts and/or (b) parts which don't require any upstream changes. For large parts that have any upstream design changes, Stitch Edge gets (a) extremely time consuming and (b) unstable to use.
I'm not really sure what the "best" way to model ribs like this is, in NX Advanced Sim; what I've found is that using RBE's (ie: the 1D Connection, Edge-to-Face approach) is more robust to design changes than Stitch Edge.
Can you explain in more detail the "unite" function you have mentioned, in I-DEAS?
I do think that this is an area where the Advanced Simulation FEM preprocessor could be greatly improved.
