Surface plotter?
Surface plotter?
(OP)
Hello
Is there a 3D surface equation plotter for NX?
For example I could need to draw an ellipsoid.
I know I can import points from excel or a file but I don't like that way.

I must check tomorrow at work, but I think we do have the GRIP license with NX8.
But what if the seat doesn't have the GRIP license?

The ellipsoid was just an example, I was thinking in something more general.
anyhow, thank you very much for your nice script.
I was wondering why NX doesn't have a "button" to plot surface equations.
I'm going to analyze your example.
regards

But what about a generic dialog that can accept not only parameters but the equations to plot?
RE: Surface plotter?
So basically what I am saying is yes it can be done but requires additional programming for each equation set.
Hope this helps
