    Creating a coordinate system following three nodes

    I'm trying to define a cartesian coordinate system following three nodes. First, I tried to create it in the model file, but strangely, the CSYS does not appear in the output database unless i create a dummy load which refers to this CSYS (e.g. 0.00001 N). Also, the CSYS does not appear to...

    Hertzian contact, path dependency and partial-slip

    Hello, I'm working on simulating hertzian (line) contact with very small (micrometer scale) sliding motion typically found in fretting applications. In such applications, a central stick zone is seen, whereas at a certain distance towards the contact edges, sliding will occur, giving rise to...

    Partial section view of large arrangement. NX8.5 drafting.

    Hello, I've just been through NX training at work and started on this relatively complex drawing showing a shaft arrangement for an engine. However, the area of interest is only a small fraction of the total arrangement, and drafting mode seemes to be slowed down by the fact that NX tries to...

    Finding mesh cycle stiffness in spur gear pair

    Hello skilled engineers, I'm trying to generate a plot of mesh stiffness in a spur gear pair as they rotate. I've tried to do this using a static analysis by applying a moment T on the pinion while the gear rotates. Im measuring the rotation in both the pinion and gear, and the transmission...
