Changing NX Part Material using NX Part Attribute???
Changing NX Part Material using NX Part Attribute???
(OP)
Hi all,
My name is Magnus and i am new to this forum.
I have a question regarding assigning/changing material to an NX Part using the NX Part Attribute "Material".
Is this possible?
In detail,
Say that we have a Teamcenter Enginnering (2005SR1) enviroment managing NX (Version 6). In this enviroment the NX Part attribute "Material" is mapped to a Teamcenter attribute "NX_Material". The Teamcenter attribute "NX_Material" has a LOV, a list of values that are relevant for this attribute, i.e. all relevant NX Part Materials.
Can NX be set up so that the users can change the material for a NX Part in Teamcenter, using the Teamcenter attribute, which through the mapping gets updated to the NX Part attribute "Material" which in turn then changes/assigns the part material?
I hope my explanation isn't to confusing.
Thankful for any respons or input.

However I'd still be interested to hear why you would want to do this? How often would you design a single geometric definition of a product that would have a material change that you don't reflect by changing the drawing of it? It seems like a dangerous thing to want if you're not careful about how it might be used. Sometimes knowing that a system can't do a thing that you possibly don't want it to be able to do has a reassuring aspect!

Without knowing NX well enough yet, i think this functionallity would be possible to create by writing a script that changes the material of the part. That script should be executed at NX Part Open after the attribute mapping has been performed. I think this would be a fairly simple script but i dont know how or at what events you can get NX to trigger scripts?
