    CATScript - Automatic Smoothing for Thicken Surface?

    Does anyone know a way I can toggle on Automatic Smoothing when using the function AddNewThickSurface to thicken a surface in a CATScript in V5? The option in the dialog box is shown in the image. Thanks, Jeff

    Nastran SOL 106 - Bi-/Tri-Linear Stress Strain result from Non-linear Material curve

    Hi, I have tried to simulate a tensile test of a dogbone specimen using SOL 106 in order to check my grasp of nonlinear simulation which I am still learning. Based on my results, I seem to be falling short in my understanding. The model consists of CQUAD4 shell elements, with one end of the...

    NX SimCenter 3D Nastran SOL 106 - Creating 'aligned' GAP elements

    I am trying to simulate contact using SOL 106 using GAP elements in SimCenter 3D. I want my GAP elements to connect 'matched' nodes which I have created on my mesh by projecting a point set along a vector onto each of the 2 meshes which I want to be in contact. I am using the 1D connection...

    NX Journal - Accessing Mass(kg) column from Assembly Navigator after using MassCalculationBuilder

    I am using NX 2027 and by recording a journal to execute the "update mass properties" function, I have the resulting code: 'Update mass values Dim componenttags1(0) As NXOpen.NXObject componenttags1(0) = workPart.ComponentAssembly Dim massCalculationBuilder1 As...

    CATScript - Some Point2Ds on Drawing sheet not updating on screen after SetData

    Hi, This is indirectly related to this thread, in that it is part of the same CATScript. The following code moves the Point2D objects by DeltaX(i) & DeltaY(i) if the object is found in a specified area on the background view of a drawing sheet: If TypeName(TheGeom)="Point2D" then...

    CATScript - Line2D.GetOrigin returning wrong coordinates

    I have a CATscript which is looping through lines on a drawing (the lines belong to some titleblock geometry) and extracting the start point (origin) of the lines. For some reason, the results are not correct. For example, I have a line which I can manually check (double click on the line) and...

    NX Journal - Only keep visible objects in an NXObject list

    I have a VB.NET journal which is gathering all the entities on a layer and putting them into a list of NXObject. I want to loop through the list and remove the objects that are not not visible on the active drawing sheet. There are other drawing sheets in the part file and I don't want to...

    NX Drafting Journal - Identify Location of Spline on Drawing Sheet

    I have a journal that identifies the start and end point of a line, and checks to see if it is in a specific area on the drawing sheet bounded by X1(i),Y1(i) & X2(i),Y2(i) and then adds it to a collection: Dim theLine As Line = CType(obj, Line) ' Check if both endpoints are within the...

    NX Journal - Finding Tag of Component in Assembly knowing displayname

    Hi, I have a journal that identifies a component (child) in an old assembly, and then checks to see how many of that component is in a new assembly (newcomponent), using the below wrapper: ufs.Assem.AskOccsOfPart(newcomponent.Prototype.OwningPart.Tag, child.Prototype.OwningPart.Tag,numOccs)...

    NASTRAN SOL 106 in SimCenter 3D - Shell Thickness Output?

    Hi, I'm just learning how to use SimCenter 3D. I'm working with the SOL 106 - nonlinear solution with shell elements (I don't have access to 401 or 402). Is there a way I can plot/output/measure the final thickness of shell elements? Thanks, Jeff

    NX Hidden Edges Tolerance? Visualization changes with view scale in Modeling

    Hi, I've noticed that when I am using the static wireframe mode, with static hidden edges invisible (under visualization preferences), the accuracy of the hidden line view changes depending on what my view scale is. When I set my view scale as 1, it does a poor job and hides edges which should...

    NX ugs_router problem opening files from Windows Explorer

    My NX prt files are correctly associated to the following command, as confirmed using ftype: C:\WINDOWS\system32>ftype NXPartfile NXPartfile="C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX1953\NXBIN\ugs_router.exe" -ug -use_file_dir "%1" If I try to open from the command line to check that everything is good...

    NX Journal - Getting Objects on Multiple Layers into one collection/array

    Hi, I have an NX Journal in VB which grabs all the objects on layer 1 by using: allObjects = workPart.Layers.GetAllObjectsOnLayer(1) If I want to ADD all the objects on a DIFFERENT layer to allObjects, I'm not sure how to do that. Essentially I want to append the objects on the different...

    NX 1973 - Journal - Determine Modification Date of Feature

    If I select object information (CTRL+I) on a body, the listing window will return the Date & part history version when that body was last modified. e.g.: Modified Version 29 Apr 2020 14:24 (by user userwhois) Version 55 I would like to capture that information in a journal. Is there a...

    NX 1953 Drafting - Associative Alignment Origin won't stay turned off

    I have a datum symbol that is placed on a line at an angle on a drawing. If I create the symbol with the origin set to Associative Alignment, the text is parallel to the line, which I don't want. If I create the symbol with the origin alignment turned off, the text is horizontal - which I do...

    NX 1892 - PDF Export with thinnest possible line width

    For some reason, one of my customers is creating model views with 0.025mm character sizes for text. The result is that when I export the model view to a PDF file, the linewidth is thicker than the character size and all I get are a bunch of blobs. The customer won't change their model view...

    Multiple Datums for Same Feature

    Does ASME Y14.5M allow or restrict the application of multiple datums on the same feature? For example, if I have a part which is going through multiple manufacturing steps, can I do the following: - Side 1 of the part is both datum B & datum X, and side 2 of the part is both datum C & datum Y...

    MS Excel - Drop Down Lists that result in links to original list cells

    I would like to create a drop down list which is based on a column in a table, but when the item (Cell D5) is selected from the list(Table MyList, Column C) it should be a link to the item so that when I change the item in the original table (MyList) it also updates in the cell D5 that was...

    NX Journal - vb.net - using a list of canned views

    I would like my journal to step through the following canned views: iso,top,front,right using workpart.ModelingViews.WorkView.orient(Vw,0) where Vw is the NXOpen.View.Canned name, but because this isn't just a string or integer (at least from what I understand) I can't figure out how to do...

    Truetype Equivalent Font for V4 ROM1 Font in CATIA V5

    We currently use the ROM1 font for our CATIA drawings as it matches the look of the UG/NX Blockfont which we use for NX drafting. We save our drawings as PDFs and when the ROM1 font is used we either end up with a PDF without searchable text, or a font substitution that doesn't look like the...
