    Creating NACA airfoil model

    I need to create a NACA 0010 airfoil model in UG. I found a website that gives me the x and y coordinates for the cross-section but was wondering if there is a better way. I tried the method of creating a line using equations but UG seems to choke with anything greater than a power of 2 (my...

    Looking for GRIP program to generate solid models for gears

    I have an old version of a GRIP program that generates the tooth form profile for several kinds of gears. However, I need to make solid models of the gears, not just the tooth form profile. Does anyone out there have an updated GRIP file that will do this? Otherwise, how do I take surfaces...

    Helix callout on a drawing

    I have a part which has a sloped feature created by sweeping a rectangle through a helix. What is the best way to represent this on the drawing? I was thinking of describing the helix (pitch, radius, etc.) within a note but wondered if there was a better way. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Scenario for Motion training

    I am considering taking a class from UG on Scenario for Motion since the tutorial is not doing it for me. I was wondering if anyone had experience taking the course and what they thought. Can it handle complex kinematic analysis? I'm looking to apply a force function at a certain point of a...

    Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

    Our parts and assemblies require in depth GD&T. Does anyone know if UG NX has the capability of building models with embedded tolerance information on each dimension? I know that I can see if there are interferences based on the nominal dimension but can I analyze what happens at maximum...

    Swapping parts in an assembly.

    I made the mistake of swapping out parts incorrectly and it caused me half a day's worth of work!! I wanted to exchange a rev B component for a rev C component. Hopefully the following will save others from the same mistake. 1. Open the assembly file and go to modeling. 2. Open the assembly...

    How to copy and paste lines (not in a view) from one sheet to another?

    I am working in Drafting and would like to copy lines from one sheet to another. The lines are not in a view so I can't use the copy view feature. Transform doesn't seem to work either. Copy and paste only seem to work for text. Any suggestions? [afro]

    Specifying thread root for an internal thread.

    I am modeling both a screw and a nut to visibly show the interactions between them, including backlash. The thread I must use is uncommon, a .125-48 Unified Form, class 3A and 3B. Therefore, I am going off of the thread form equations in the standard, ASME B1.1. What I am having trouble with...

    Align WCS (or parts) to Absolute Coordinate System

    Okay, this may be basic for some and frustrating for others. I want to use the standard views (front, right, bottom, etc.) except the parts I brought into my assembly have their own orientation. I can mate them all to each other easy enough but how do I line up the assembly to the absolute...

    Fake dimensions

    I am adding a note to a feature. The note involves two parallel surfaces so I used a horizontal dimension. Then I edited the number to input the text I need (erased the dimension value and typed in my text). However, this creates a "fake dimension" which is not a good idea. Any...

    Section line object associativity

    I made a drawing from a model and included a section view with a lot of detail. After making changes to the model many dimensions AND the section line in the main view turned yellow, indicating that there was no longer an association with the model features. I can fix the dimensions with the...

    Swept geometry gets twisted in UG

    I am working in UGNX. I have made a helix and want to sweep a triangle using that helix as the guide. How do I keep the triangle from twisting? Is there some way to make the base of the triangle always parallel to the axis of the helix?
