I am curious how other organizations are handling/managing the Revision letter of the CREO CAD assembly, the Parts list structure, and the assembly drawing. Does the CAD model assy match the parts list revision or the assembly drawing revision? or are all there maintained at the same Revision...
Im curious to understand how others are managing parts, particularly those that are purchased which may be shown in different orientations in many assemblies.
A good example are items that have retaining lanyards, like those quick-release pins. In each assembly that it is used, the lanyard may...
Our company standards require that users do not place views, notes, etc within 4 inches of the revision block. See the attached picture - I would like to add the two lines indicated by the red arrows. I would like to add these as really faint phantom lines to the drawing templates to designate...
The Siemens integration guide suggests to use the master model approach. The guide suggests to first create your part (UGMaster dataset); this part is stored in the item revision in Teamcenter. Next, the guide suggests to create a UGPart dataset and add the UGMaster dataset to it as a component...
Would anyone know the reason why you are able to modify a part family member (checked out) that is in Teamcenter, but not be able to save it back to Tc?
If you are unable to save it back to Tc, what would be some of the reasons why you would want to be able to modify the part?
Are there any...
I would like to get some opinions on the migration of Ideas CAD models to NX B-Rep's.
Is this method an acceptable migration path, considering that the B-Rep data can be modified/chnaged in NX using syncronous technology? Pro's, Con's.
Thanks.
I have heard that Siemens may have a project in the works to utilize a composite unique identifying scheme for Team center/NX. Anyone know of any truth to this?
Thanks,
Mike
We just got Teamcenter installed for use with NX6. I started Teamcenter and then starting NX6 from teamcenter. I would like to open my nx6 files (located in a windows folder) into nx6 and save them into teamcenter. I do not see a folder structure link in the file open dialog to accesss local...
I would like to understand the impact of using 4 of 8 available mtg holes in a fixed fastener scenario.
Example:
A plate has 8 thru holes. It's mating part has 8 3/8-16 thread inserts. How much better alignment will I have if I use all 8 mtg holes vs using just 4? I am concerned about rotation...
I am trying to get an expression to appear in the family attributes criteria list. The expression is the sum of two driving dimensions. Example:(total_length=a+b).
I want the user to have the ability to select a family member based on the total length of the part. Values a and b are driven from...
I would like to gain a better understanding on how Teamcenter users are utilizing BOM views as it pertains to capturing their parts list. And also operating in precise vs. imprecise mode.
I have found that the documentation is really vague when it comes to suggested techniques and methods.
We...
I have been generating part families for standard hardware for some time now. My questions is: At what point does too many instances start to drag down the system or efficiency? (See the example below)
Example: I needed to model a part family of machine screws. So I started with the cross...
I am interested in hearing how others are calling out MS hardware (specifically: MS35307 and MS35308) with a black oxide finish (MS35307-308B) if the Mil spec does not offer a finish code.
Thx.
Are there any users who have used the assembly cut functionality in releases beyond nx6? If so, I would like to hear about the functionality before I submit a product enhancement.
The functionality in NX6 is just okay. I would have hoped for something a little cleaner. I am thinking about...
Anyone know what functionality is included in the advanced assembly module for NX6?
I am aware of component grouping. Trying to figure out if it is worth investing in.
Thx
I have a sheet metal part which contains a wall parallel to the XZ plane of the c-sys. I have a hole located through the material. I would like to generate a rectangular array of holes on this wall.
After selecting "instance feature"/"rectangular array"/"(the hole feature)", the "enter...
I would like to get a better understanding of the intent of the Siemens Teamcenter 8 program to utilize very similar item attributes. Specifically, usage of "item name", "item ID" and "item description", and how they correlate to NX CAD.
Earlier versions of Teamcenter utilized only "item ID"...
ASME Y14.24-1999 (Chapter 10) Identifies id cross reference drawings as a way to assign unique ID (your own company part number) to a vendor item which has a incompatible ID.
2 questions regarding usage:
1) Can this be applied to prevent duplicate ID's from different mfg's or vendors...
I am currently working on developing the migration path from IdeasNX12w/TC to NX6w/TC. I would like to get a better understanding of some of the technical pros and cons which may effect our process or long term data management strategy.
Separate drawing files: It is my understanding that the...
