NX freezing when creating a spun outline
NX freezing when creating a spun outline
(OP)
I received some STP files from a customer, then imported them into NX (7.5.3.3). Although I saw some degeneracy comments during the import, the part seem fine once in NX (clipped section views showed the the part was solid all over, no sheets, nor graphical hiccups).
I created a CAM setup with the casting and the finished part. After selecting the part and the blank, I selected Turning_Workpiece to generate the spun outline. This would freeze NX. I tried again with just the casting in the setup; again, no luck.
I was hoping I could at least get an error and then perhaps use something like angled planes to generate the outline, but no matter what I try with those models NX will freeze.
Any ideas?

I still cannot use the spun outline, but now NX does not freeze during the attempt and will at least generate an outline using angled planes.

This has helped me several times.

Again, NX still can only generate an outline using planes at angles, but before the outline was missing some smalls details using only heal geometry (such as datums pads) that have now shown up in the outline.

Besides, I'm glad it did now. I never would have learned about geometry heal, and optimize face from this great forum otherwise.
