Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints

Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints

Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints

(OP)
Hi,
in NX3 during mating process, I could see the degrees of freedom and also after mating.

Now in NX7 it's possible to do this ?

Thank you..

RE: Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints

No, not in NX 7.0, but you will be able to do that in NX 7.5.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Hi John,
I read the what's new.
I'm afraid it was removed in NX5 with the new constraints method and add again only on NX7.5.

Regards..

RE: Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints

It wasn't that it was 'removed' (if you are still using Mating Conditions, they're working), just that it was NOT implemented with the new Assembly Constraints until NX 7.5.

Hi,
support told us that Assembly Constraints are the new mating paradigm.
Support told us to convert to Assembly Constraints and stop to use Mating Conditions.
Standard NX template have Assembly Constraints as default.
I think this switch is a little obligatory.
I suppose that you have credit point on each request.
Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints have accumulated enough credit point from yours customer, because Degrees of Freedom is very important when add mates or understand which miss on a component.

Thank you...

RE: Degrees of Freedom in Assembly Constraints

Also the new Assembly Constraints list is not so clear to look trough, this is surely NOT an improvement!

Best regards,

Michäël.
