Modelling a nut using expressions - Threaded hole
Modelling a nut using expressions - Threaded hole
(OP)
Hi all,
I was wondering if any NX experts may be able to help me with the last piece of the puzzle. I am trying to create a model of a DIN 439 nut (and will use this template to make other nut models), where I fully control the size of the part by the thread size. I have included the part in this thread.
So far, I have created the part where I have three expressions:
Head across flats
Length
Thread size
I can control every feature of the nut by using just the thread size... Except for the actual threaded hole itself. I was wondering if someone could kindly explain how I can add the threaded hole size to a type of expression (in the user expressions would be great if possible), then just change this one value and the rest of the model will update. I am so far only interested in standard metric coarse threads from M3 - M12.
Many thanks in advance
