    How change Mass unit in part list

    Hi JavadM, For NX12, the default output from $mass attribute in Part Lists is in "gram". To change to Kilogram, we can scale the values using steps below: 1. Go to the Settings tab of the column. Go to Cell tab, check Evaluate Cell as Formula, and set Decimal Places as you preferred. 2. Go to...

    FEA software to metal stamping

    As far as we know, it has capability for trim line optimization. But for more detail, it is better to check with ETA directly. If you are at ASEAN region, probably we can try to follow up for you. Below is just some info on Dynaform. http://www.dtsys.my/cae/eta-inventium-suite/dynaform/ Kind...

    (FEM) 2D mesh interprets curve incorrectly.

    After some check, as long as you are not using moment load, the FEA result will be fine. In my test, k6rot only plays a role when moment load is applied in the out of plane direction of 2D mesh. Tuw

    Advanced Simulation vs Motion Simulation

    right Toost:) In NX / Simcenter, we can integrate FEA and Motion Simulation together, called Flexible Body Analysis. This is an advanced topic to give flexibility to a rigid body (thus making it a flexible body or finite element body) defined in Motion Simulation, to evaluate for displacement...

    FEA software to metal stamping

    Since I am not a Sales person, I dont know the exact price. But what I know is Dynaform is permanent license, while Autoform is yearly subscription. That is to say, you only need to pay once for Dynaform and you can use it for many years. Autoform needs to pay every year. Also, do take note...

    Durability/fatigue

    Hello Wazy01, Strain result is not computed by default. The default results computed are: 1. Displacement 2. Stress 3. Reaction force To request additional output result, you need to select Strain in the Output Request. To do that, 1. In Simulation Navigator, in Sim mode, right-click your...

    Advanced Simulation vs Motion Simulation

    Hello CAD2015, Advanced Simulation - is Finite Element Analysis (FEA). One body will be cut into many pieces, many points. Thus 1 body will have many calculation points, and the body can be deformed to give deformation and stress result. Motion Simulation - is rigid body Analysis. One body...

    What is the best way to create a spot weld connection if the stiffness coeff of the weld is known ?

    Hello ninjaz, No matter how you model the spot weld, stress concentration will always be at the edge of the spotweld diameter, is it not? There are options to model the spot weld using 1d element or 3d element though. Tuw

    FEA software to metal stamping

    Hello TiagoFigueiredo, Dynaform is better alternative to Autofoam. Not only in price comparison, but dynaform is able to simulate spring back, which i dont think Autoform can do (I am happy to be proven wrong though). Presys is the successor to Dynaform, but i am not sure how well Presys is. Tuw

    (FEM) 2D mesh interprets curve incorrectly.

    Hello 5H4D0W, If you want to control the mesher to be exact size, you will need to use Mesh Control command, and define the edge of the notch to have specific number of nodes or size. Without using Mesh Control, the 2D mesher is only using 'element size' as an approximation for the overall...

    Sol101 vs Sol106 membrane forces f06 output inverted axes

    Hello albertoruenes, What output request you used to recover membrane force? If you use force output, the output is with reference to the element coordinate system. If you are doing automatic meshing, the element coordinate system would be in chaos, thus high chance that the axis are not...

    Advanced simulation thermal led dissipation siemens nx

    Hello, the thermal coupling between structural mesh and fluid mesh is automatically done by the solver, provided the meshes are physically near (touching) within tolerance. The reason you are not seeing the heat transfer maybe the meshes are too coarse. Maybe you need to define boundary layer...

    2D dependent mesh

    Hello, Some tips on using 2D dependent mesh in NX. 1. Make sure both polygon faces have the same number of edges. 2. Make sure the edge's end point is having the same pattern for both polygon faces. For example, the end point of the hole, between both polygon faces are not same pattern, and...
