Question on Volume calculation in NX
Question on Volume calculation in NX
(OP)
Hi,
NX6..
When doing volume analysis on a part created from B surfaces, Iam observing there is a significant difference in volume calculation between a simple cube and the body created from B-Surfaces.. Does any one else have seen this kind of behavior? Does Siemen`s have some fix in NX6..
I have set the measurement preferences to highest level of decimal, so that it takes a significant amount of time to calculate the volumes.. Also there is no irregularities in surfaces..
Also when I split this body with is created using B surface, into multiple pieces and calculate volume of one piece multiplied by number of splits I have made, the difference increases..
Please help me understand the reason behind the difference..

RE: Question on Volume calculation in NX
I created a 100mm cube, extracted the faces and B-surfaces, removed parameters and then sewed the resulting sheets. I then checked the volume of each solid and found it exactly the same.
