constant length spline NX7.5
constant length spline NX7.5
(OP)
I need help on the following issue:
I am creating several tubes in a large assembly. The tubes are defined by splines and the splines are defined by end points / tangency control, G3, the usual...
Now, I would like to move some endpoints as a result of changes made in the assembly. Since the splines represent existing hoses, I would like them to have a constant length.
Only change I'd like is the 3D orientation and position.
Is there a simple way to define the spline length as "fixed".
Like real life hoses, not compressable or strechable (is that english?).

RE: constant length spline NX7.5
I have a license for the electrical and mechanical routing module. I haven't figured out yet how to use these modelus regarding "constant length splines". Why not you ask?
Because the assembly is not just modelled by me but also at a sub contractor who has not the modules.
Of course I will check the routing apps (I am an engineer after all), but for now I am just wondering if there is any simple solution for my spline problem in de modeling module.
Because NX is so flexible (expressions, variables, rules, associativity, constraints,etc..I love working with NX) I would expect to find some hints (in NX that is) for a simple fixed (did I say constant?) length spline definition...
