    How to Export Assembly from Visualization Mockup to NX

    It's a visualization session. Opened from Teamcenter. Not sure what the file extension is. It doesn't really show that.

    How to Export Assembly from Visualization Mockup to NX

    Can someone tell me how to send an assembly to NX? I have had limited success doing this by selecting the assembly and then navigating to File > Interoperate > NX. It will send the assembly over, but it it's missing information. It wont send the entire thing. Are there other ways to get an...

    Using the multiprocessing Module in a Python Journal (NX 12)

    From what I understand, NX journals are single threaded. meaning they don't take advantage of all the CPU cores your workstation has. In an effort to speed up my code, I tried using the multiprocessing module in NX 12 for a python Journal. I'm trying to speed up execution by using more than one...

    How to run macros in CATIA?

    Ok, CATIA newby here. I'm seeing talk on the forums about using Macros in CATIA, but I have no idea how to run them. Is it a version specific function? Going through the menus I can't seem to find anything on running code. Thanks.

    How do you guys feel about working for a company that refuses to innovate?

    I guess you are right. I am kind of nervous about it. Maybe I'll just leave it be. I don't really have time to come in during off hours.

    How do you guys feel about working for a company that refuses to innovate?

    Thank you everybody for taking the time to chip into this conversation. The different viewpoints offered are valuable. I think in general, a little humility on my part will go a long way for all parties involved. I did use company time to implement the prototype. It was after my assigned work...

    How do you guys feel about working for a company that refuses to innovate?

    So recently I proposed some ideas to my supervisor on how we can improve efficiency using machine learning. I took some time to build a small machine learning model with some test data so I could provide an example of how the new process would work. Nothing that would function on a large scale...

    Gravitational Constant in Excel Formula

    What about mass? Is the mass of an object simply it's weight in kilograms? I have an object that is 97,000 lbs. How do you calculate the mass of the object for use in the gravitational force formula?

    Gravitational Constant in Excel Formula

    So the "m3 kg-1 s-2" part of the value is just units?

    Gravitational Constant in Excel Formula

    Hey SkipVought, Thank you for the tips! There is one thing I don't quite understand though. I know how to use named ranges, but what I don't understand is how you get 6.73E-11 from 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2? I think the number format you presented is scientific notation. I don't understand...

    Gravitational Constant in Excel Formula

    Hey Everyone, I am trying to figure out how to use a gravitational constant in some of my worksheet calculations. From what I understand this is the gravitational constant: 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2. However, how exactly do you use that in Excel? I need to determine the gravitational force on...

    Select components and get attributes

    Well I did this some time ago. I can't remember exactly how I looped through an assembly with each object as a Design Element but I think I do. In order to query the design element you will need to load a subset into NX, and from there you can loop through the subset by doing something like...

    Need help with calculation...

    I am hoping somebody might be able to help me figure this one out. How many pounds of pressure (PSI) would it take to move seawater with a density 0f 64 lbs CU/FT at a rate of 250,000 gallons per minute? Not sure how to work this one out, or if I have all of the necassary information. Thanks

    Pipe Schedule vs Class

    Can somebody please enlighten me on what exactly the differences are between pipe schedule and class? Also, how does that effect the weight of pipe/fittings? Is there a way to convert the class of a pipe to schedule for the sake of getting a fittings weight? Thanks.

    Need help implementing a 3D Rotation Matrix using NXOpen

    Hey Everyone, I have been trying to programmatically rotate a model 360 degrees a long the Z axis. I don't want any rotation a long the X or Y axis though. The thing is I need to do it in increments, small increments until the rotation is complete. From what I understand in order to rotate the...

    How to sustain an Innovative Mind-Set?

    Hey Everyone, I am not an engineer. I don't have an engineering degree, but I did study Computer Science. However I do work with a long side engineers as kind of an assistant. I prepare summary reports for ship ballasting based on current design data. One specific reason I was hired was to write...

    Datum Plane Undefinable error

    Hey everyone, I have been trying to build a journal to accomplish a specific task. What I am trying to do is place a datum plane using the bounding box coordinates of a model. I would like to fill in the bounding box in both the x and y directions. For the Z it should be the minimum value. That...

    Measure the distance of an arc (line) from point to point?

    Is there a way to measure the distance of an arc in a pipe? Obviously you can't use the measure tool because it only supplies a straight line. Any other suggestions?

    Theoretical Space Station Design

    I like the tether idea, but man that would be one long tether! I think a rotating Taurus shaped station would be appropriate, with a shuttle building and docking station in the center. Ideally, any space stations of the future would provide a way to build and maintain space craft. Supplies could...

    Theoretical Space Station Design

    Hello, I am hoping to get some feedback from the engineering community on some design ideas. I am putting together some theoretical designs for a futuristic space station. The design isn't for engineering purposes (obviously), but it is to showcase the station in a high quality render. I am...
