Asm wave link question
Asm wave link question
(OP)
Hello,
I am working on NX8.5. Is it possible to cut components and paste them to a sub asm without breaking the wave geometry link?
Current asm tree
top-asm
comp1 (wave body from comp4 & 5)
comp2 (wave body from comp4 & 5)
comp3
comp4 (source of wave body)
comp5 (source of wave body)
New tree
top-asm
comp4 (source of wave body)
comp5 (source of wave body)
sub-asm
comp1 (wave body from comp4 & 5)
comp2 (wave body from comp4 & 5)
comp3
TIA!

RE: Asm wave link question
I'm using NX 9.0 which should be about the same as NX 8.5. NX WAVE link seem to be quite sensitive to any move in which the destination parts are separated from the source parts. I don't have a WAVE license, so that might make it easier to manage what you are trying to do.
Anyway, there would be a work-around to what you are trying to do.
Instead of cutting the comp1 and comp2 to a sub-asm you could create a parent assembly of the original assembly.
Then you can copy and paste comp4 and comp5 to the parent assembly and save the original assembly as the sub-asm that you wanted.
And then you can suppress comp4 and comp5 in that sub-asm.
Depending on company standards this workaround could work for you or not
