NX 8.5 PMI Section "Wire or Acorn Body" error
NX 8.5 PMI Section "Wire or Acorn Body" error
(OP)
All,
While creating a cross-section cutting through 90 degrees (one quadrant) of an assembly, NX yields the following error message:
Modeler error: wire or acorn body is unsuitable for this operation
I've created similar cross-sections on other assemblies and have never gotten this error. Any thoughts as to the root cause and fix?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I'll see what troubleshooting I can work through and go from there. Thanks!

I can't provide the file or a picture of it, but here's a description that might clear it up a bit. I made a revolved body and used an extrusion to subtract everything but a small circular area. This operation left two bodies, 180 degrees apart from each other. I used the "delete body" command on one of the bodies, leaving the one I wanted. The PMI section error only showed up after assembling multiple parts into the next higher assembly and trying to make a section at that level. I fixed the error by making the initial revolved body through 180 degrees instead of the full 360. Does that help?
Thanks,
James

I also testing NX 9.0 & NX 10.0 and the problem exists there as well, so I'm going to open a PR since this really should work.
