Design configuration in NX
Design configuration in NX
(OP)
Hi folks,
I am back with a query.I just want to know the design configuration concept in NX. I got this query from one of my friends. So please correct me if I am wrong.Basically the requirement is to call the same feature into multiple files(similar to UDF) and suppress the unwanted features and retain the required features from the model.Quite similar to maintaining various configurations of the same design.Hope it is clear for the experts.

I'm in the same case than sudhakarn.
@multicaduser : I'm interested about the solution from John Baker. Do you know where I can found the explications about it?
Thanks ahead.

1. File->Utilities->Attribute Templates
2. File->Properties->Attributes tab
3. Open the Expression dialog
The expression can then be used to drive feature sizes.
This also works in reverse. I use string expressions, conditionals and concatenation to build strings which can be referenced by part attributes used in the bill of materials. If I get a little time to knock together an example I'll post it.

Thanks a ton for all your replies and ideas. Will check it out.

But my question is more complexe.
I would like to create an assembly with some arrangements. My assembly will be reprensented at 2 "states" : one state with all internal machinings and another one without internal machinings. So I think manage them with the arrangements.
So if I go to one of the parts, I need to create 2 states too who will be used on the assembly.
Do you know how I can create and manage it please? Knowing that I don't want to save these states in TeamCenter, so I can't use the part family.
Thanks ahead.

We use that extensively when dealing with sheetmetal parts that are later machined.
