    sketch overlayed on advanced simulation results image?

    For NX 7.5, advanced simulation, does anyone know of a way to overlay a reference sketch to the simulation results? See attachment link for example. I want to focus on the stress of that small area. Thanks. Joe mechanical design engineer

    NX 7.5 takes too long "Updating objects..." while editting a sketch

    John-- Thank you! It works. That trick will save me a lot of time each day. --Joe

    NX 7.5 takes too long "Updating objects..." while editting a sketch

    In NX 7.5, is there a way to turn off the "Updating objects..., Updating Feature 1, Updating Feature 2, ...etc." while editting a sketch? In my example, a sketch is used to make an extrusion. This part has ~350 features in the part navigator. When I update any sketch, NX will take about 33...

    NX area moment of inertia calc - how do I specify the neutral axis?

    Interesting! Thanks for sharing that. It's a nice feature that will either save time or lead to a better design.

    NX area moment of inertia calc - how do I specify the neutral axis?

    Thanks John! It's calculating the correct area moment of inertia now. This will be a good tool for designing cross sections of deflected beams. Joe Sawicki, P.E. mechanical design engineer

    NX area moment of inertia calc - how do I specify the neutral axis?

    John, I followed your advice, selected the face, and then the command prompt reads "Select Object 1." What is "Object 1," and what do I select? See attached prt and ppt files. Thanks for your help...

    NX area moment of inertia calc - how do I specify the neutral axis?

    Thanks John. The WCS has 3 axes: x, y, and z. Do you mean line up the x-axis with the axis of rotation? Or will y and z also work? For NX7.5, Analysis-> Advanced Mass Properties-> Area Using Curves, I there's dialog box called Analysis with these 4 choices: -Boundary (Permanent) -Boundary...

    NX area moment of inertia calc - how do I specify the neutral axis?

    In NX 7.5, how do I calculate the area moment of inertia about a specific axis? I've tried 2 methods, and NX does not let me specity the axis the area is revolved around. For example a 2mm by 8mm rectangle has 2 neutral axes, which give 2 very different area moments of inertia. Ix = (2 *...

    Deformable parts are not compatible with other features such as holes, pockets, etc.

    *....still can't make my current project,...*

    Deformable parts are not compatible with other features such as holes, pockets, etc.

    I have an image and prt file ready to attach, but this forum won't let me attach files. I don't have a URL available to post photos at this time. I tried to paste a hole onto a deformable part, and the error message reads "Paste Feature. Features can not be applied to the body of a deformed...

    Deformable parts are not compatible with other features such as holes, pockets, etc.

    The deformable part utility seems great. Except it won't work on parts with holes, or any other features. That limits what you can use it on. I'm designing a plastic part with a simple latch arm that bends. I need to show the latch arm in 2 positions: straight and bent. I think I'll try...
