Extraction path in NX9.0.3.4

Extraction path in NX9.0.3.4

Extraction path in NX9.0.3.4

(OP)
Good afternoon,

I have a special behavior or I dont know how to use it and all about is about Sequencing/Extraction Path. I have followed the movies that John Baker made and they are accesible on Youtube but it doesnt work for me. I have 4 components and I wish to have of of them extracted to different position. I define it in Sequencing using extraction path but the model I try to move goes through the othere without any checking of the collision.

Please suggest :)
Thanks
C.

If the geometry in the parts is facet, you will see this problem. If they are solids/surfaces, try loading them exact and seeing if you have the same issue.

Hello Chris,

yes I checked as you proposed but it didnt help. BUt I also realized that all my components were on ENTIRE PART ref sets. and that probably was the main issue. Together with Ref set change I have opened fully the components (exact) and it worked. So thanks for that hint.

2nd question
Is it possible to make extraction path when the components are touching each other? I realized that I need some small gap but maybe it is possible from zero gap?

thanks
C.

Yes, the extraction path shouldn't care that Components are touching.

Ok Guys, thank you for your help wirh extr path that functionality started working and I got the extraction path but do you have any materials or could you share how works that centroid limitations? Is it limiting the center of mass? I thougth it was the boudary that component cant break diuring calculating the path but it seems different.

Thanks again
Karol

The Centroid Limitation it allow you to open-up the direction that you would prefer that that extraction takes, like limiting the removal of something from inside the engine compartment to the up direction which would therefore show whether the item can be removed without having to put the car on a lift and removing it from below.
