NX8 Import Point Set

NX8 Import Point Set

NX8 Import Point Set

(OP)
Hello,
Is it possible to, given a point set as a .txt or .xls file, import these into NX8 and then create a spline fit from these? The spline is easy to do, but I cannot find where I would import these points for an NACA airfoil.

Help is appreciated. Thank you!

RE: NX8 Import Point Set

The spline command will import the points and create the spline all in one command. The file should be a text file with the extension ".dat". Start the spline command (not the studio spline), Insert -> Curve -> Spline, choose the through points option, then the Points from file option. This will allow you to browse to your file, import the points and draw the spline.

RE: NX8 Import Point Set

In NX 8.5 we've added an 'Import Points from a File' function which will created a named-group of points from the X,Y,Z coordinates in a .txt file.
