    Out of memory error NX6

    Tingsryd, Yes windows is recognizing the ram. NX quit on me once it reached around 5-6Gb I think. cowski, I hadn't thought of checking that, I'll make sure to look it up. Good possibility that's the issue. Thanks!

    Out of memory error NX6

    I'm using my boss' computer to open some rather large parasolid files, it still runs NX6, and even though it's a great computer (i7 processor, 16Gb ram) it gives me an "Out of memory" error. It's not even coming close to using up all of the computer's ram before giving me the error. Is there...

    Importing Large Parasolid

    Thanks for the response. Does directly opening a parasolid (X_T) file from UG, saving it to a different location then opening it from there help at all/load faster? I'm opening these files from an external drive by the way

    Importing Large Parasolid

    I've got rather large parasolid files I need to import into NX 9.0, the largest being around 760 MB, and my computer's just not good enough to get it done. Is there a way I can export it into a lighter file? Thanks in advance

    Move Body

    Thank you both for the help!

    Move Body

    These bodies can't be moved, it doesn't let me select them. I can move them using move object for example, which is fine, but I'd like to find a way to may them usable like normal assembly parts so that I can constrain them.

    Move Body

    I recently received an assembly file that I need to work with, I assume it was simplified before being sent because there are no part names only "Body (1), Body (2)" etc. I need to move some of these bodies but it won't let me. How can I turn them into workable parts? Does exporting into stp...

    Rough Offset

    The shape and curves of the sheet made it difficult to use ruled surfaces, but I used "pull face" then "copy face" and sewed it together making a solid body. Thanks for the help!

    Rough Offset

    It's a firewall, so a fairly complicated surface. It tells me "the offset distance might be greater than the radius of curvature of the face or the offset face might intersect itself." Is there any other way for me to extrude the part? It doesn't have to be all that thick either, but I need a...

    Rough Offset

    Can a Rough Offset of a Facet Body be thickened? The rough offset did what I needed now I need to thicken the part to a usable solid. Running NX 9.

    Extrude Facet Body

    I've got a scan of a firewall which is now a facet body, and I need it turned into a solid body. The function "Extrude Facet Body" should be exactly what I need but when I use it nothing happens, I don't get any errors either. How can I make this function work properly? I'm using NX9.
