    Buckling on Column using beam 189

    Have you tried just constraining the one end that doesn't have the forces on it and applying the loads on the other end? I don't know if its exactly what you're trying to do, but it could provide some insight as to what is going on - and you refine it from there. -Frank

    I don't suppose anyone out there has done a completely custom POST for punching sheet metal?

    Snapshot on NX-IDEAS 5

    Are you looking to export a .jt file? This type of file is a lightweight 3D version of your model that requires the seperate JT viewer - JT2GO. You can pan, rotate, zoom and turn components on and off.

    How to save custom views in customer defaults and assign hotkeys

    John, Thanks for the speedy reply as always. Do you have eng-tips forums forwarded to your blackberry or something? Unfortunately, all the parts that I would like to add this view to are already created. So for future parts approach #1 would work fine, but not for this particular case. I'll...

    How to save custom views in customer defaults and assign hotkeys

    fmr110 (Mechanical) Aug 9, 2010 Running NX 6.0.2.85 and Teamcenter V 10.0.3.8.6 I'm not sure if this is possible - it would be extremly useful though. I'd like to start from an Isometric view of my part, rotate it 90' about the x-axis, and save that view so that for ANY assmebly I pull up...

    Need a file translated out from IDEAS

    What version of I-deas? Are they package files? Do you have NX? I can help you, if you still need it.

    Horrendous performance due to disk activity

    Didn't I hear something somewhere on these forums about NX not running well on Windows 7? I'd be curious to see if there was any difference if you ran it in WINXP.

    NX6 Sheet Metal Punch

    Thanks John. Thats exactly what I was looking for. Does Siemens have any documentation about how to code a post processor in this situation? Thanks, Frank

    NX6 Sheet Metal Punch

    Hello, I'm trying to integrate NX6 with our manufacturing department here. I'm having trouble finding documentation relating to punching out sheet metal parts. Does anyone here use NX6 to generate code for punched out sheet metal parts? Is it possible to develop an NX6 post processor for...

    A beginner of VBA, need to learn it!

    I learned the same way as Satchmo. Record macros and study them carefully as you record them. Also try googling what you need to do.. I'm pretty sure everything you need to know is free on the internet already.

    Create JT files for all components of an assembly?

    This might help... If you go to <Preferences> -> <JT> Click <Modify Configuration> You end up with a box that has your JT settings. If you play with these settings - you might find what you're looking for. Specifically the "Organize JT Files" setting. I think you want it to be set to...

    Teamcenter Integration for I-deas jvm.dll Error

    That was what we tried to do initially. Good thought. GTAC was able to assist my Teamcenter guy with this error. No word as to how they fixed it though. Problem solved.

    How was your switch FROM I-deas TO NX

    I'd like to hear everyone's (horror?) stories about how they switched from I-deas to NX. Example questions that i'm interested in: Did you start from TDM? How many I-deas users were there? Did you go to TCII, and then content migration manager? What version of I-deas and what version of...

    Teamcenter Integration for I-deas jvm.dll Error

    Nobody at Siemens has been able to help. Even after countless hours on the phone with GTAC. Things are not looking good. I'm extremly frustrated. I've never seen a piece of software THIS difficult to install. What exactly is my company paying for?
