NX Post Processing
NX Post Processing
(OP)
I had a few questions about post processing in NX.
1. I have results from an ABAQUS run in both *.fil and *.odb format. I made the run twice to obtain *.fil files with both stresses at the integration points and stresses at the nodes. The odb file contains both of these by default. I would liek to be able to import the *.odb file into NX, but it says 'Results File Not Found' when I attempt to import it. I chnaged the customer defaults for the ABAQUS results file to be *.odb (weeks ago so I have restarted NX plenty of times). Not sure why this would happen. Could be that the proper ABAQUS libraries were not available to link? I'm at work so I don;t really have control over these things....
2. when I tried to post process in NX, I noticed something peculiar... the stresses are different than what I see in NX IDEAS and ABAQUS CAE Post Processing. It is not a slight difference either (about 30% O_o). there are several things I can think of, but I think I have ruled most of them out...

- Coordinate systems: Looks like its in the right place. If I go to 'Set Results' I choose absolute and it appears that the part is in the right place. Side question on this... Is there a way to display the absolute xyz coordinates of a point? It used to be near measure in IDEAS....
- Averaging: Can you control the stress computation in NX. I poked aroudn for a while and I couldn't actually find anything about it. In ABAQUS you can control the % averaging of the results which will change the stress values (0-100%). I can't find this anywhere in NX...

Information -> Point, will list the point coordinates relative to the current work coordinate system (the XC, YC, and ZC values) as well as the absolute coordinate system (the X, Y, and Z values). The same applies to distance measurements; in the results section of the measure distance dialog box, turn on the option "show information window". In the information window it will display the first and second points relative to the work coordinate system (XC, YC, ZC) and the absolute coordinates (X, Y, Z).
