Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

(OP)
Hi, we migrated from NX8 to NX9.0.2.5 and we noticed that creating wave linked bodies is behaving differently.

If we link multiple bodies that are contained in the same component, it creates 1 linked body feature in the part navigator, but that single linked body represents multiple bodies in the workspace.
Before, in NX8, it would create one linked body in the part navigator for each of the selected bodies.

When I check the information from the liked body it says something like this:

Defining Part for Linked Body(1) : COMPONENT0/02, COMPONENT0/02, COMPONENT0/02, COMPONENT0/02, COMPONENT0/02 (Unloaded)
Defining Feature for Linked Body(1) : Extrude(2), Extrude(8), Extrude(4), Extrude(1), Extrude(3)
Position determined by assembly : ASSEMBLY0/01 (Unloaded)
Link Status : Up to Date, Delayed

We usually link multiple bodies in one operation and then we separate them in groups to ease the design process, now we can't separate them or we need to link one by one which is not time feasible.
Is there a setting to get back the previous behavior?

Thanks
L.B.D.

RE: Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

In the wave link dialog box (in the settings section of the dialog), make sure to use the "separate feature for each body" option.

Well that option is there in NX 9.0.3.4, as shown below:

Thanks John, I guess is a new feature.

RE: Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

I've noticed that too and have been living with it.

What is the advantage of combining multiple linked bodies into one feature??

Ask your IT support to install the latest MR. I don't know why they would upgrade to NX 9 and not install the latest patch?
