    [NX 8.5] Creating CYS at the Centroid

    Hello, I'm using the measure body analysis tool to determine where the centroid is relative to the absolute origin. I want to mark the centroid with a coordinate system so that I can use it in CAE analysis down the road. Does anyone have a trick for this besides manually inputting the datum...

    [NX8.5] How to apply a mass to a body w/o material definition?

    Hello all, I'm determining the center of mass of a large assembly. Some components are created of many different materials, but are represented by a single body (imported .STP files mostly). Therefore, I want to define a mass to the body rather than set a material parameter. Is there a way...

    [nx 8.5] CAE Workflow for fixing element quality

    Hello, I'm new to CAE and have general questions about mesh qualities. I'm working on an assembly FEM creating meshes now for the associated parts. My goal is to have solid (CTETRA(10)) elements throughout the assembly. I've created a mesh collector and associated 3D mesh for my initial...

    [NX 8.5] Orient View to Face

    Hello All, I'm looking for the command or workflow to orient the graphics window view to a specified face. I know snap-fit (F8) will orient the view to the coordinate planes, but I want to orient to an angled face, that isn't on a coordinate plane. Is there a command for this? Thanks -...

    [NX 8.5] Advanced Simulation Results

    I'm got my mesh defined, material assigned and constraints proper. I solve the model and it converges with no errors. When I think attempt to display the results I get an error that "No results are found". WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! Please any help will be great. Thank you in advance - Justin...

    NX CAE: How to Heal a Failed Node

    I'm running NX 8.5 Advanced Simulation: I've meshed my body and ran an Element Quality check to find failed nodes. It resulted in 2 failed nodes, but I don't know the proper workflow to heal these failed nodes. Clearly I'm new to CAE, so any help would be great! Thanks all - Justin Heckman

    ANSI FCI 70-2-2006

    I was asked to review the listed standard to determine if it applies only to new valves or also to worn valves. I have reviewed it and can find no specific statement about this. Does anyone know the specification for this? Thanks
