    Reverse engineering a surface

    I am trying to reverse engineer some components that we have laser scanned. The laser scanned surface is a stl faceted body that I import into NX. Note, in some areas there are small holes, so the surface is not exactly complete. In NX I create some known features, i.e. planes and...

    Bridge Curves

    Can someone please provide an example of using the constraint faces option within a bridge curve To me the help file does not explain its use very well. Thanks NX 5.0.6.3

    Determine Cross Section Area

    I have geometry that can be simplified as being swept from one section to another with a guide string and now I would like to output the cross sectional area at regular intervals on planes normal to the guide string. I have tried to use the Section Inertia Feature, but it only outputs a number...

    Creating a variational sweep

    I would like to sweep/rotate a single line about a circle, similar to a revolved sweep, only I want to vary the angle of the single line as I sweep around the circle, thus creating a variational sweep. I also want to control this angle with a law curve so that I can specify the angle at certain...

    Creating a plane through points

    What is the best method to create a plane that is a best fit through a number of points. Currently, I am using the Surface from Point Cloud feature and specifying a U and V degree of 1. Then I place a plane on this surface. However, the Surface from Point Cloud is limited because you cannot...

    Customising Results view with Advanced Simulation

    Does anyone know how to customise the results view in NX 5 after doing an FEA. I am able to turn on/off the header and color bar but cannot control what is displayed in the hear information or set the color bar values to non-scientific. Also, is it possible to add a company logo. Thanks Bryan...

    Advanced Simulation within Teamcenter

    Has anyone any experience of creating FEA of parts within Teamcenter (2007). After having just moved to Teamcenter, we currently do not have any Advanced Simulation files associated with parts. Up to now people create a part, which Teamcenter assigns a number to. After saving the part, the...

    Teamcenter, Part Numbering and Standard Parts

    Folks, Just want to get peoples opinions and experiences with Teamcenter, part numbering and standard parts. In my company and like others, every part must have a part number. Teamcenter automatically assigns the numbers for us. However, when it comes to standard parts and perhaps Part...

    Surface Finish Symbol

    Is it possible to insert a surface finsh symbol in an english units drawing. When I try to insert the symbol, I get a warning stating that Surface Finish Symbols are not supported in English partfiles or English Drawings.

    Creating a table in a drawing listing dimensions of part families

    I have created a part family of a CAD model and also a drawing of that CAD model. However, on the drawing I need to add a table to show some of the dimensions for the part family. Is it possible to automatically populate a table in the drawing with the part family information.

    Multiple detail views

    Is it possible to create multiple instances of the same detail view in the same drawing. I have created a detail view to dimension some features, but the view has got crowded, therefore I would like to duplicate the detail view to dimension the remaining features. I know that if you copy and...

    Parametric Spline

    What are peoples thoughts on how to create a parametric spline that is related to other arcs and curves. I believe the splines should be created in a sketch along with the arcs and curves. Attached is a sample shape that I want to replicate and make parametric.

    Performance Issues with 64bit OS using NX Nastran

    Has any body noticed any performance problems when solving an FEA using NX Nastran 5.1 installed on Win 64bit. It appears to me that it does not utilize the extra memory available with 64bit. I have run several tests and found that the more memory attributed to the solve under Solution...

    NX Nastran 5 with WinXP64bit

    Is NX5 and NX Nastran 5 really suited for Windows 64-bit operating systems? IBM Intellistation Z Pro 2 x Xeon 3GHz Dual Core Processors 4GB Ram Win XP 64 SP2 Every day I constantly battle with the performance of NX5 whilst using the Advanced Simulation module. In fact, I have a system crash...
