    Flow Simulation

    Sorry, I see there is a Simulation/ FEA category. I reposted there.

    Flow Simulation - Pressure In, Volume Out

    Sorry but I posted this in the general SW forum. I'm new to flow simulation. I've been watching many videos on what to do but I still can't find my answer. I have a solid assembly that will have a fixed pressure in and I need to know how much volume will exit. Everything I see I will only...

    Transition from SolidWorks to Unigraphics

    I've been a SW user for 14 years (also night instructor for 6 years) and our company needed NX for a new line at work. I received no training and after 3 months of suffering, I started to figure things out. I really like how SW had the tutorials for new users. There are simple things like...

    Flow Simulation

    I'm new to flow simulation. I've been watching many videos on what to do but I still can't find my answer. I have a solid assembly that will have a fixed pressure in and I need to know how much volume will exit. Everything I see I will only calculate pressure drop. Is there a way to calculate...

    Opening SolidWorks file in UG

    EDIT: I'm using NX7.5 and I can open any 2011 and older SolidWorks part files directly.

    Opening SolidWorks file in UG

    "They only sent me one file, but there would be multiple solid bodies if it translated correctly. Kinda odd that it did not have the .sldasm extension" .SLDASM are empty assembly files linking to each .SLDPRT file and making your assembly. Many also model all parts in a single .SLDPRT file...

    Tool Retract Path

    Thank you all!! I need to get some time to start trying these ideas. Maybe in another few days. Thanks again.

    Tool Retract Path

    Thanks looslib, I worked with a clearance point but the path went straight to it. I need up first, over second ect. It might be something in the grinder itself??

    Tool Retract Path

    The tooling I use is Ø8" (grinding wheels) and after I make a grind path, the grinder combines X, Y and Z to go to the next path. The problem is with such a large tool bit, the wheel will hit fixtures ect. I've tried to add more retract but the grinder can only retract in one direction just so...

    Unused Folder in Operation Navigator

    Thanks Mark. I see your point of moving it in program view only. I will try that and see if anyone has problems understanding. I can't post on the PLM forum (unless things have changed) because my company didn't purchase the maintenance. Any other way to get the program?

    Unused Folder in Operation Navigator

    There is a tool path I might need for future use but I don't want someone to see it and continue to use it. If I have all 4 locations in the unused folder, it helps make it idiot proof. Thanks.

    Unused Folder in Operation Navigator

    I want to put an unused operation in the unused folder. Is there a way to do this in one step? I currently do it in Program Order, Machine Tool, Geometry and Machining Method. If I'm adding a method to the unused folder, I want it in all four locations automatic. Thanks. NX 7.5

    unigrafhics performance

    Does the manufacturing (generate tool path and post process) take advantage of i7?

    Interesting Aerofoil Platforms

    Not to get off topic but I program for a 7AX grinder (using T cutters as grinding wheels) only. I want to learn how you think when programming 3/4/5AX mills ect. If you have a solution to this, would you post the NX file so I can see what you did?

    rename NX CAM operations

    The RenameOperationsOntSelection.vb works as it should. I want to select a group of tool paths (no matter what they are called) and name as Diag Cut 1, Diag Cut 2 ect? I use NX for programming grinding paths. Each pass of the grinding wheel is another operation and I have hundreds of them.

    Multiple extrudes from one sketch

    I figured that much but I thought I would ask. Thanks everyone for all your help!

    Multiple extrudes from one sketch

    Thanks John, the Region Boundary Curves helped a lot. I selected one region and then manual selected other sketch lines and I get an error "The input selection is invalid". Is the attached screenshot possible as one...

    Multiple extrudes from one sketch

    Single Curve with Stop at Intersection worked. Thanks! Can I ask for more - I have to click on the two vertical lines and the two arcs. Can I click in the center open area and it picks that area with one click?

    Sorry, didn't get image. Here it is.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bd5003bb-7f0c-4638-a454-6438ef525c25&file=Multi_Sketch_Extrude.jpg

    Multiple extrudes from one sketch

    Not seeing anything with the selection filter helping. Please see attached image of the sketch I want to extrude. Thanks
