    Best Practice for Making Nests/Setting Jigs

    Hi all, I wanted to ask your opinions on the best practice to make a nest/setting jig for a part of irregular geometry. I am currently tasked with this for a lot of parts but I am not sure what the most efficient way to go about this in NX is, two lines of thought currently are: Extrude...

    Thought process for creating this shape?

    Wanted to produce this 'light shade' ornament thing. I am a great novice at CAD, my steps to produce this were as follows: Sketch circle Offset Create Datum/Plane above circle Sketch Hexagon Offset Repeat for Upper Level This is where I am stuck as to what the most efficient approach is...

    NX9 - Edge Blend Between Intersecting Features

    Hi, I am wondering if you can edge blend between two intersecting features. In the image attached you can see a sweeped handle against a surface. This is intended to 3D print but I cannot edge blend the point at which the handle intersects with the surface. Is there anyway arround this...

    NX 9.0 - Matching the contours of a solid

    I am wondering what the best process for matching the contours of a surface in order to produce a setting jig are. Something like a badge on a car door for example. I was thinking: - Create a plane perpendicular to the farthest point of the surface. - Sketch on the plane. Extrude to...

    Natural Frequency of a Simply Supported Beam

    I have been trying to find some formula to follow to calculate the frequency of a simply supported beam for some time and there are so many suggestions I am not sure what to follow. I have a beam with 2 point loads, equidistant from the beam supports and, a uniform distributed load across the...

    Beam Deflection

    Hi there, I am struggling with working out maximum deflection in a beam. It has two point loads, at L/4 on each side and a distributed load at L/2. I know max deflection for a distributed load but I am not sure how I calculate both at the same time. Do I have to treat this problem as...

    Simulating an Adhesive Layer

    Hi there, I am trying to model a simply supported beam with a central point load. The beam has a lap joint and a adhesive layer bonding them together. The beam is made from thin aluminium sheets. I tried importing from solidworks, I have three layers but I have no idea how to give the...
