WAVE Links and Arrangements
WAVE Links and Arrangements
(OP)
Hi NX'ers
In the past I was sure I was able to make WAVE links update across Arrangements, however I'm stuck at the moment with a relatively simple part. I want to show an umbrella frame (dont ask) in the open and closed position using Arrangements (and Arrangement specific constraints) but when I switch Arrangements, the WAVE links will not update to reflect the model correctly. See attached video (done in NX9)
thanks in advance.

RE: WAVE Links and Arrangements
It works for me with a kettle (I have a wave link with the component cover to trim the part around the hinge)
Try using the parameters "Make Position Independent" in your wave link
!!! This option is only visible and available with a MACH3 license !!!

Defining Part for Linked Composite Curve(2) : A (Fully Loaded)
Defining Feature for Linked Composite Curve(2) : Line(4)
Position determined by assembly : test_asm (Fully Loaded)
Position based upon arrangement : closed
Link Status : Up to Date
The NX9 test assembly is attached, try changing active arrangement.

I can help you but I suppose that you cannot send your assembly ?

Here is the Assembly. The part to open is Umbrella.prt. I have removed a part that is confidential.
Many thanks in advance

RE: WAVE Links and Arrangements
My solution was not correct in your case.
But you can try the following:
1°) create your bridge curves in an component
2°) suppress this component according to the open arrangement
3°) create another bridge curve for the closed arrangement in another arrangement
4°) suppress this component according to the closed arrangement

Yes, I had already found a work around similar to what you mentioned, I have spoke with Siemens and they confirm that WAVE links are arrangement specific and a number of people have made the same request as I have, GTAC have submitted an ER.
Many thanks
Si.
