For anyone who is interested...
UFModl.AskSplitFaces can be used to get all the faces described above. It can return unexpected extra faces when used on complex geometry, so I use it in conjunciton with UFModl.Compare to get matching faces.
I haven't yet found a way to determine which is the...
Hi Cowski,
I meant to say, thank you for the extremely fast response to the question! Unfortunately your solution wasn't quite what I was looking for. The uniting/patching occurs in the destination part, that contains the 'Linked Body' features, not the source part.
I have done some more...
I am using General Relinker to manage wave links in an assembly. I have several simple parts which all get linked into one part which unites/patches them together.
General Relinker doesn't find the bodies for any inputs that are consumed by booleans or patches in the model. I have two...
Thanks John. Non-geometric components isn't quite what I was after because they will be used to hold components. I haven't looked at Teamcenter, but part of what I had in mind was to minimise trips to Teamcenter!
The closest I have found is 'component groups' but these sit outside of the...
Hi,
Catia had a very useful function that let you store sub-parts in the same file as the parent part, they were called 'components' as opposed to 'products'. This allowed you to add some hierarchy to an assembly without introducing extra files. Is there a way to do this in NX?
This link might...
Hi,
We use custom names on faces to assist downstream operations. When a named face is split by an operation, for example a uniting two rectangular bars into a 'T', one of the faces loses its custom name. Is there a way to retain the name on both parts of the split face, or a way to find the...
