    Working with STL files?

    Hello. I still get difficult to work with STL files on NX. For example get this "simple" file: https://grabcad.com/library/tension-spring-11/files/Spring.stl How would you convert it to a native NX body? Rapid Surfacing needs the user to select many point on the faceted body and can be...

    Derivatives on the motion simulation results?

    If I hace the motion simulation of a simple mechanism How can I graph the derivative of one variable against another one? (both are distances) I can do it by just looking with the naked eye at the slope on the graph but I prefer to have accurate results.

    Unconstrain spline from plane

    hello. If I've created a spline from the sketch environment. Now the spline is constrained to that sketch plane. How can I move any of its points out of that plane? Or how can I remove that constrain to the plane? Could you also explain me the difference between normal and perpendicular to...

    Project grayscale image and get a relief map or extrusion on a surface??

    Hello. How can I convert a grayscale image to a relief on the object? (with more or less depth depending on the darkness of the area) Something like this: I can't find more examples now but I think you get the idea. I mean define an extrusion or face deformation/movement proportional to...

    Can't get this pattern.

    Hi. I cannot create simple pattern. I want to "pattern feature" this central hole (and preferably also the edge blends) in a lineal pattern (from the center towards the outside). For example following the x axis, with a count of 4 copies and a pitch distance of 25mm. I've tried with several...

    Undoing "feature dimension" and "show DOF" ??

    Hi. When you do Edit -> Feature -> Feature Dimension. Then, you can see the dimensions of the body in 3D. How do you get rid of these dimensions? And if you do Assembly -> Component Position -> Show Degrees of Freedom Then you can see several arrows indicating the DOF of the body...

    materials, density, visualization...

    Hi. What's the relationship between the material assigned to a body from "tools -> materials -> assign materials" and the materials assigned during the simulation and the system materials (visualization). and the "edit -> feature -> solid density" Can Anyone rule any the other?

    problem through curve mesh surface

    Hi. I'm trying to create this hook with a through curve mesh, selecting first the primary curves (adding new sets) and later the cross curves. But I can't get it. what's my problem? It says the curves don't intersect but they seem to do it. What are the red points? This is a simplified...
