FLANGE - NX7.5

FLANGE - NX7.5

FLANGE - NX7.5

(OP)
Hi,
Previous NX version had Flange aside of Sheet Metal.
I use on a regular basics Sheet Metal for Flanges but a work mate does not know how to use Flange other than the one that was located in Modeling(he doesn't know Sheet Metal and has no time to learn it).
What happen with the previous Flange feature?

RE: FLANGE - NX7.5

That was part of the old, now obsolete, Sheet Metal Design module. It has been completely replaced by NX Sheet Metal. So if your work mate wants to create 'flanges' he'll just have to learn how to use NX Sheet Metal. Either that or he has to hack them together using regular modeling functions.

RE: FLANGE - NX7.5

Hi MZ7DYJ
As far as i remember many sheet metal operations tucked in the modeling tools used the advanced sheet metal license only (let us say multibend bracket,metaform etc and for others it used the basic sheet metal license) .Perhaps from the user point of view i found it a bit confusing to find some sheet metal operations in NX SHEET METAL and some in Modeling (i feel it is better consolidated now and more user friendly).And more over many functionalities achieved the same results (let us say flange ,cutouts etc. which was there in both).
Best Regards
