Part Stacking/Nesting function?

Part Stacking/Nesting function?

Part Stacking/Nesting function?

(OP)
Hello,

I have tried searching around, but am coming up short on any software or function (NX or otherwise) to be able to easily take a part and see how a duplicate would stack on it. Think a cup for example, determining the spacing that would occur between each cup in a stack or if the objects would begin to shift when nested. Only way I have been able to do this in the past is by move one, cut sections, move again, cut sections, etc. Does anything like this exist? Clearly a cup is a very simplistic example of why I am looking for this type feature, but I was thinking with today's Physics based software, NX or some software might have this built in?

Thank you in advance.

MFDO- That is exactly what I am looking for except not in NX.

Toost- That maybe what I am looking for, but in a bundle I must not posses.

Any other options out there?

"but in a bundle i must not possess" ?
- you want the feature but you do not want to buy it ?

You can perform a similar operation using the NX Motion simulation, but ... you need the license for this also.

Regards,
Tomas
