I think the silence in this thread says much about the initial request to avoid an expensive pre-processing license. It's quite difficult given the open ended nature of your question.
I've supported I-deas, FEMAP, and NX pre/post processing packages. All of them are able to create run ready...
Jon,
You are correct... at least my simple test says so. I created a new PRT and poked on the Global Deformation command. Then I checked the LMTOOLS licensing LOG file:
8:15:13 (ugslmd) OUT: "gateway" gelampin@cii6p137
8:22:54 (ugslmd) OUT: "solid_modeling" gelampin@cii6p137
8:23:10...
CAE models aren't immune to this problem either. We don't have any part clean up tools in CAE. I've observed a few workarounds:
1. Select the object again, then deselect
2. Change the displayed part file then back to the original
I've no idea what causes the problem, how to reproduce it, or...
Jon,
I got a reply from development regarding licensing of the Global Deformation command. It is available as part of the Advanced Free Form module. Bundles that include Advanced Free Form would be able to access Global Deformation. Additionally it is part of the Die Engineering module...
I've got bad news and good news from development. The bad news is the ABAQUS RMS results aren't supported by the NX post processing tool kit. The good news is that it was fairly trivial to add support for it with respect to the ODB reader. That support will be reflected in NX 8.0.1. But there's...
This is all speculation on my part. Is the converted data being written to a new ODB file or appended to the existing ODB file? If the new step is being appended, perhaps NX is choking on everything downstream to the first random step.
If you feed me example ODB files, I can continue to pass...
Thanks for the files and I reproduced the behavior you're describing. This smells like an enhancement to me. The random output requests (RU, RV, RA, RRF) are likely something we've not encountered before or simply haven't encountered enough to add it to the product. That's my guess anyway and I...
I don't have any tips or suggestions yet, but could you post a simple example (input and results file) here for me to try?

Chris,
I think it is best to have the broken out body in the original model as well. So I would generate 2 FEMs (coarse mesh of the entire structure and fine mesh of just the break out body) from the same PRT. That PRT will already have the split in it. That is what I did with the model in the...
Chris,
I've attached a presentation that covers breakout modeling in NX 6 upwards. It leverages spatial fields based upon tabular data to take the displacement results from the coarse model and apply them to the fine model as enforced displacement constraints. Let me know if you need more...
... I forgot to include the link to the NX Open program. In the previous post.

Jon,
The first response refers to just deforming the mesh. NX supports deformation of CAD data too though. NX 7.5 delivered a new (or updated... can't remember) command in Modeling called Global Deformation. I believe Global Deformation requires a "Die Engineering" license. It may be available...
Smokes,
I'm familiar with one software/services company in the UK that has its CAE/CAD roots in I-deas and has migrated itself and many users to NX. They have beta tested our software for a number of years and have extensive knowledge in the structural and flow disciplines. Here's a link to...
Bastien,
I sure hope so. That was going to be the next thing on my list of items to try. For my beam/shell/solid model I want to identify the maximum stress on the beams, and on the shells, and on the solids all rolled up in one program. At least I have 8 weeks to get you an answer. Enjoy your...
Bastien,
I was able to create 3 VB scripts from your original one. These output maximum von Mises stress for beam, shell, or solid element models. If you have a mix of element types in a single model, then you'd have to sort through the meshes and use the appropriate method for the given mesh...
