    Need help decoding meaning of error codes

    It is possible, I will take a look at the attributes and see what I can find. Thank you for the ideas.

    Need help decoding meaning of error codes

    Here is the end of the log file where the error occurs, earlier text is just NX loading all the module and what not. The specific error codes seem to have changed since last time I tried to save it. And thank you very much for taking a look at this. TCIN_MESSAGE_END TCIN PDM Save Service ...

    Need help decoding meaning of error codes

    Hi Everyone, I have been experiencing multitudes of issues with a batch of drawings I am working. We work in NX 1973 with TC 12. I am getting errors when trying to save a model and it seems to have stumped our support team. while saving data to Teamcenter: Resolve dataset attribute value...

    Centerline extraction at a system level in NX

    Just to give a follow up, I ended up recreating the centerlines using points, lines and bridge curves to use for my 1D elements in advanced sim. The customer really wants to use a dumb solid model and just do 1D analysis from the centerlines so there are not tons of links in TC going back and...

    Yup we are on 64 bit.

    Centerline extraction at a system level in NX

    I do not have too much experience running NX Open files. I tried to launch it and got the error: Failed to load image - see log file for details File name C:Documents and Settings\myusername\Desktop\Cable_centerline1\Cable_centerline1.dll Function name: ufusr After looking at the log files...

    Centerline extraction at a system level in NX

    When I open just the individual tube model yes there is a centerline that drives the shape of the tube. I made all the control points non-associative before bringing them local. Single tubes work great, its just an assembly of tubes in my global APU coordinates that is giving me issues. I did...

    Centerline extraction at a system level in NX

    One last thing. The tube centerlines seem to behave a bit differently than standard curves. They are all made with links and ports to external references in the assembly. I did of course break links and isolated the elements before exporting. I was able to open each tube model on its own and...

    Centerline extraction at a system level in NX

    Yes that was basically my process for single tubes. I exported to IGES and made sure coordiante systems and curves where checked on for the export. I just exported the tube model and left the nuts and sleeves off. I then just put a fix constraint on every node on the bottom of my tubes where...

    Centerline extraction at a system level in NX

    I have been struggling for a couple of days with a task and was hoping someone on the forums could help out. I am a contract designer with an aerospace company working on an APU. I have been tasked with doing some nodal analysis for a fuel supply system using NX and NX advanced simulation...

    Pro-E start parts

    I was wondering if it is possible to import features from one Pro-E part into another. Here is my situation. I have a customer who has been changing their start part files, layer requirements, model parameters, and notes almost weekly. My team has been working in circles trying to keep up...

    Titanium Casting

    Thanks. The link didn't expicitly state the amount of material that should be left over for machining, however it did state that Ti6 machines like a certain type of stainless steel. I have heard this from two independent sources now. LOL besides if it is on the internet it must be correct...

    Titanium Casting

    I was not sure where this thread should be placed. I am sorry if I put it in the wrong catagory. I am working with a cast titanium6-2-4-2 component. This is the first time I have worked on a titanium cast part and I am wondering how much material should be available to machine off to attain a...

    Distributive Processing

    Does Catia V5 R17 support distributive processing? What I mean by this is, can you run multiple PC's as slaves from one computer to help with large assemblies? I know that is possible to do this with Pro-E but do not know how to do this with Catia or if it is even possible. Also, if possible...

    I Hate Drawings!!!

    I personally prefer MBD style designs. After using many Cad packages, I have found that in some cases things can be "faked in" on the drawing. I hate when people do this. It can foster errors on the drawing and will not update if a primary design change is made. When I have used MBD in the...

    Coordinate dimension table

    I figured this one out on my own. Apparently you have to set the dimension decimal places before selecting the tabulated coordinate dimension command. Once you start the command there is no way to go back and edit the table later.

    Coordinate dimension table

    I was wondering where you can change the default number of decimal places that the table uses when using the coordinate dimension table command. I understand how to use the command but I cannot seem to change it from 2 to 3 place dimensions. The table also just brings in dumb text, so changing...

    Bio-fuels .... good or bad?

    Good point. Things like aircraft will still need to burn fossil fuels. Batteries are just too bulky and heavy to use in those applications. We need to save our oil for the things that require it such as plastics, lubricants, and jet fuel.

    Bio-fuels .... good or bad?

    IMO We should convert everything to electricity. That way we only have to work on mass production of a clear energy source. As technology exsists now, this would most likely result in MORE carbon being released into the air due to the fact that most of the electricty in some areas is generated...

    Assembly Cuts, HELP

    Do the cuts follow any sort of pattern? Could the cut locations be set up in a table or a simple pattern? In the past when I used to work with Pro-E I used a UDF for whatever feature I needed to repeat. This could be a simple pattern (table, rectangular, or circular) or you could write a...
