    VR hardware for NX

    Hi NXers Our old HTC vive VR headset is really dated now, I've just tried using the latest HP Reverb G2 only to find that it's not currently supported by Siemens. Ideally I want one that doesn't need to the two sensors that are mointed on tripods so I can use it sat at my desk. Can anyone...

    Adding features to deformable part

    Have a look at the attached model If you change P7 to 180 then the blends will suppress, anything less than 180 and the blends will be unsupressed. Cheers Si Best regards Si NX7.5 NX8.5 NX9 NX10 NX11 NX12 NX1847 Technical Manager- Design www.oneplm.com...

I...

    Assign colour to a part when assigning a physical material

    Hi NX'ers I know there has been a few posts around this topic in the past, but would anyone happen to know what to add to the physicalmateriallibrary.xml so that when a material is assigned, a colour is also applied to the part.

    Law defined spline (Law Curve) NX12

    HI mmauldin Thanks for the examples, I'm struggling to see how to get the Zt to alter in the second example, what do you need to change edit the amplitude as the wave in the law curve sketch is defined by p10? What does that huge expression for zt actually control and how do you make it take...

    model resolution

    here is a simplified version, it's been done in NX11 as the forming and flattening tools were not available until this release. Si Best regards Simon NX7.5 NX8.5 NX9 NX10 NX11 NX12 Senior NX Consultant...

    model resolution

    It nothing to do with resolution, it looks like it's to do with the way the forming and flattening tool wraps the curves on to the model.Thanks for all your help and suggestion, however it seems that we have part that is asking beyond the limitations of the tool. Cheers Si Best regards Simon...

    model resolution

    in the attached image, all the faces that the blue arrows point to should actually look like the ones that the red arrows point to, in other words all tangential radii. This is a really small model, the rad is only 0.2 mm, the blends are created in a sketch and then wrapped on to the surface of...
