report all constraints nx 7.5

report all constraints nx 7.5

(OP)
Is there a way to report all asm. constraints / the constraint relations between  the parts from the whole asm. in a list? Or graph like the waves in relation browser?  

RE: report all constraints nx 7.5

If you mean at ALL of levels of an Assembly (i.e. all sub-assemblies) at once, NO, it's not possible.  Besides, even if an Assembly is using Assembly Constraints, some or all of it's sub-assemblies could be legacy parts using Mating Conditions and so it would be impossible to show both at the same time anyways.  And since Assembly Constraints (and before that, Mating Conditions) only are relevant at the level that they are applied (except in the case of overridden Constraints) there is no real value in consolidating them all into a single view.

That being said, there are some improvements planned for the next version of NX where we are introducing a separate and independent Constraint Navigator which will provide more options and tools for reviewing and examining the Assembly Constraints in a model, but again, this will be primarily limited to only the current Work part.

thx John,
playing around with the relation browser, controlling the wave links,
there is a column called context assembly (relation window) -> what is this information? Which relation does it mean?
thx in ad

RE: report all constraints nx 7.5

The 'Context Assembly' column lists the Assembly which a Position-Dependent WAVE link was created in.  Note that it's possible that the 'Centext Assembly' is NOT part of the current assembly or work part and so this column provides you that information.  Note that in a lot of the WAVE examples which I've done, I very often create a special Assembly where the WAVE links are created as this allows me to then 'assemble' my model in a normal manner as if the WAVE links were not there (I want my assemblies to look like how they would be assembled, not necessarily how they were designed).
