Thats actually a common misconception. It helps equalize the pressure in the cockpit area, effectively reducing drag.

Take a look at current Formula 1 nose designs. Most if not all have a hole in the nose

As the title says I am looking for the same function but in NX4.I would like to section an airfoil section along its leading edge. A plane wont work as its a compound airfoil

Is it possible to save an NX6 file so it opens in NX4 ?

Thanks. I am using NX4. I was expecting to be able to extract the section "curve" as it is very complicated then be able to offset it. I have just moved over from Ideas.

I am doing a component (its a sheet so not solid) that is laminated and I would like to add a section view showing the plies. My plan was to offset the section line to generate a series of curves. The problem is that I cannot offset the section curve. I was expecting to be able to extract the...

Thanks I tried all of the suggestions and achieved exactly what I wanted. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot. I am actually really impressed with the results. Ill continue playing around with it. Thanks again Matt

Does anyone have a link or a website that has tutorial on the simulation part of NX 6. I am changing over from Cosmosworks to NX and need a few pointers. Cheers matt
