    VR hardware for NX

    Hi NXers Our old HTC vive VR headset is really dated now, I've just tried using the latest HP Reverb G2 only to find that it's not currently supported by Siemens. Ideally I want one that doesn't need to the two sensors that are mointed on tripods so I can use it sat at my desk. Can anyone...

    Electrical Routing - Components missing from formboard

    Quick question, I have a customer who is struggling to get components to show in a formboard drawing, we soon realised he needed to sub-divide the spline paths at a clamps RCP in order for it to be included in the formboard, but there are some connectors that are also not showing in the...

    Selection of extracted body.

    Hi NXer's I have attached a folder containing two parts that have both been saved in exactly the same state in NX12 and in NX1899 along with a video showing the issue which I'll explain. A customer has recently upgraded to NX1899 from NX12 and they have brought to out attention that in...

    Assign colour to a part when assigning a physical material

    Hi NX'ers I know there has been a few posts around this topic in the past, but would anyone happen to know what to add to the physicalmateriallibrary.xml so that when a material is assigned, a colour is also applied to the part. Please note that I don't mean materials that relate to rendering...

    Hi All Would anyone be able to help me with the expressions I would need to define a law curve with the same form (size not that important) as the attached example please? Many thanks in advance. Best regards Si NX7.5 NX8.5 NX9 NX10 NX11 NX12 Technical Manager One PLM Ltd. (Formerly...

    model resolution

    in the attached image, all the faces that the blue arrows point to should actually look like the ones that the red arrows point to, in other words all tangential radii. This is a really small model, the rad is only 0.2 mm, the blends are created in a sketch and then wrapped on to the surface of...

    Remember constraints

    Hi all, Is there, or has there ever been a setting (apart from the one relating to reusable components in the customer defaults) that relates to Remembered Assembly Constraints so that they can be turned off when adding parts that have had them saved so someone can choose to use their own...

    NX12 Performance.

    Has anyone noticed that NX12 seems to be slower when performing simple tasks? things like using the undo function seems to take more time than it should, even on simple models. I've just had an assembly where I performed a "show only" command on component and NX12 took an age to complete the...

    Help with expressions for a law curve

    Hi NX'ers Does anyone know how to enter a variable number in an equation for a law curve? I have a variable t and I want it to vary between 0 and 1 in 200 step intervals. based on some equations I have been given from Matlab t = linspace(0,1,200) I want to multiply each number in the t...

    different coloured (colored) part family members.

    Is it possibly to specify different (specific) colours for individual part family members at the time of creation? Many thanks in advance. Best regards Simon NX7.5 NX8.5 NX9 NX10 NX11 NX Consultant www.team-eng.com

    Journal/code to auto populate attributes

    Hi all, Would anyone be able to help me out with some code that I could assign to a button that when pressed would open a menu/text entry box that would allow me to populate some attributes in the model such as project number and client name? Cowski, I'm looking in your direction ;-) Cheers...

    Lenovo P71 with Nvidia Quadro P4000 and 4K screens

    Hi Guys, We've just bought some new laptops for our consultants, the laptops come with 4K screens which are pretty useless with NX, even NX11 with its 4K role doesn't work properly, the computers and graphics cards/drivers are all certified by Siemens, however, they don't scale the icons and...

    Using selection filters in conjunction with view dependant edits

    Hi all, I have a casting which is quite complicated, if I turn on hidden lines to show as dashed and even change the colour (color if you're American) of the hidden lines to be different from the solid lines, when I use view dependant edit and try and select the hidden lines using a selection...

    WAVE Links and Arrangements

    Hi NX'ers In the past I was sure I was able to make WAVE links update across Arrangements, however I'm stuck at the moment with a relatively simple part. I want to show an umbrella frame (dont ask) in the open and closed position using Arrangements (and Arrangement specific constraints) but...

    Turn off Enforce Piece Part

    Hi People, I have a part in Teamcenter (NX10) That has components added to make it an assembly, but somehow the part has been set to Enforce Piece Part, now when we try to open it, it says Unable To Add Parts so it won't open. Is there any way of turning off Enforce Piece Part without having...

    sheet metal/Meta form

    Second question of the day. Attached is a pressing which I want to flatten in NX9 or 10 using metaform, however I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with the boundary conditions and how to set them up in order to get a decentish result, it doesn't have to be exact, but at least somewhere near...

    Draft/Draft body

    This should be reasonably straight forward, but it's tools I rarely use in NX. Attached is a simple model that requires 5 degrees of draft on all faces. My question is, is it possible to add the draft to all faces as the model stands in it's current state in one go using NX7.5? I can apply it...
