    Technical Data Package TDP issues

    Hello, I'm trying to use the TDPwhich seams to be really nice but I have some issues with it. Bill of Materials: 1. In the BOM I would like to add the material. But when I do so it says "The Material Attribute was reset because it did not match the material assignment. This action was taken...

    CELAS stiffness direction

    Hello, How can I make the direction of the stiffness of a spring collinear with the spring element? In the properties of the spring I can only choose between X, Y and Z direction. Regards, Michel Groeten, Michel I use NX10 / NX1930 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 32GB Memory...

    Ignore assembly in sequence

    Hello, I want to make a sequence without all the sub-assemblies shown. Therefore I ignored these assemblies but they do not disappear. I have already set the property "ignored display" to Hidden. For separate components does it work but not for sub-assemblies. I have tried this in NX10 and also...

    Free Body Results interpertation

    Hello, I wonder how the "Free body Results" in NX Advanced Simulations works. I would like to know all the acting forces on a surface or a random chosen intersection. I heard this should be possible with this function. But when I calculate a bar with a tension force I don't get the same force...

    Helical coil M3

    I want to place a helical coil M3 metric coarse thread in a model but I only get the option for a 1D length. All other sizes do have many lengths. Is this forgotten for M3. And would it be possible to add it somewhere in a database? Michel Groeten, Michel I use NX10 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz...

    Large assemblies CATIA VS NX

    Dear All, Can anyone explain why Catia can handle large assemblies much better than NX (in our case NX10)? We are often having problems (slow) with handling large assemblies in NX which are even much smaller than the assemblies of our customer handles in Catia. Assemblies that we deliver to...

    nx constraint validation Solution

    thread561-379792 I found the solution for thread561-379792. It is just a setting. In the customer defaults - Assemblies - General - Product Interfaces, the "Assembly constraints" was set on "Encourage Use of Interface Object". This caused the warning every time I added a component to an...

    Count unique parts in assembly manually (tip)

    Hello, I have been looking for this some time and saw more people have this question. I have found a way how you can do this. Start visual reporting found under the information button which is between the pallettes at the side of the screen. Put the report type on Weigth kg Click on the wrench...

    Constraint Validation

    I often get this message when I am placing constraints in an assembly with parts obtained from a step file. I can continue when hitting continue but it is annoying. How can I get rid of this? Groeten, Michel I use NX9.0.0.19 HP Z420 Intel Xeon 3.2GHz Quadro K4000 3GB 64GB Memory Windows 7...

    Measure length of tube

    Hi, I would like to measure the length of a tube. When I create the tube I get the options "stop at intersection" and "follow fillet". But when I want to measure the length I don't get these options. Why not? I can not measure the length without these options. Regards, Michel I use NX8.5 HP...

    Linked Body Material

    Hi all, I have a prt file with just a linked body in it. This body has a material which it inherited from the original part. The problem is that it has no attribute called material. When I change the materioal to another one the material attribute appears. But I am not allowed to change the...

    Mass attribute NX8

    thread561-318897 Why can I not refer to the masspropmass attribute? I would like to have the mass on my drawing and can now in NX8 easily refer to attributes in de model but not to the mass attribute. Now I have made another expression called mass which refers to the masspropmass attribute. And...

    Class ID error

    What to do to solve this? I want to save a part but get this. Already restarted nx changed the part again and tried to save with no luck. Same with memory access violation when trying to save something. Sometimes it suddenly pops up. The only solution is killing NX. I use NX8.5 HP Z600 Intel...

    Constraint notification

    Placing SIM results in original assembly

    I know it is possible to place the results of a simulation in the original assembly. But how? I believe it has something to do with STL files. Michel I use NX8.5 HP Z600 Intel Xeon E5520 2.27GHz Dual Quadro FX 3800 5GB 9GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit Groeten, Michel www.kvi.nl A leading Dutch...

    No write acces NX8.5

    HI, I have the folowing strange message often when I save my model. "No write access". But it does save the file anyway. Even when I change the name with "save as" it says the same. Is this an error in NX8.5? I have this problem since I work with NX8.5. Michel I use NX7.5.4.4 HP Z600 Intel...

    BIG part is very slow

    I have a prt file of "just" a plate which is 100mb large. I wonder why this part is soo large. Is it because there are many many linear patterns in it. All the distances between the holes(groups) are different but each big hole with bolt holes around it (group) are the same. That's why I have...

    Replaced component not visible

    I'm having this problem already for a long time. As long as I can remember actually. When I replace a component the new component is not shown in the graphic window. I can see it is replaced in the assembly navigator, the "block" is also yellow and toggled on. "unhide all" does not work. The...

    Tube along spline curve

    Hi, When I make a tube along a spline I can not measure the diameter or use the concentric assembly constraint on it. Even when I have a straight line at the end. Why?? Regards, Michel I use NX7.5.4.4 HP Z600 Intel Xeon E5520 2.27GHz Dual 9GB Memory Windows 7, 64-bit Groeten, Michel...
