    Using PMI with Master Model Concept?

    The corporation that I work for has been using MBD for quite a while (>10yrs) but in this French CAD-system. In my role I am suppsed to educate in, and implement, the MBD way of work at other companies (customers) that shows interest in that method. Some of our customers uses NX and therefore...

    Using PMI with Master Model Concept?

    As previously stated in thread561-358657 (locked thread) Hi, I'm working on different ways to incorporate PMI as a replacement to 2D-drawings in NX and would like your input regarding this. What is considered best-practise in using PMI? 1) Is it to populate 3D-model with PMI (in the same file)...

    Cloning assembly doesn't renumber drawing (specification) Teamcenter

    adam1986: See my answer in this thread: http://eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=335410 Cloning are quite a confusing function if you don't handle it with some loving and caring. The general behaviour is that if you clone an assembly, that assembly component/"file" should be listed at the top in...

    Cloning assembly doesn't renumber drawing (specification) Teamcenter

    What does your output file say?

    Cloning not rename constraints name

    Can you post your .clone-file (if you generated one) or the cloning report?

    How can i make a preferences change permanent ( NX7.5)

    Be sure to exit NX by File -> Exit and not the X-button (in upper right corner). Quite a few changes to the interface in the session will be undone if NX is closed with X. /Lars

    saving outside of teamcenter

    Depending on how your environment is set up you should be able to disconnect your NX session from TC, as looslib mentioned above, or start a native NX session as you would have done if you weren't using TC at all. Your sysadmin will be able to answer your question on how to start NX native at...

    cloning and inter part expressions

    Hi, Do you generate a .clone file prior to executing the clone operation? If you don't do that, then do it. Open your .clone file in a text editor. Here I assume that your top assembly DOES NOT appear at the top? Edit the order in the .clone file so that the "top assembly block" is the first of...

    missing edges in view (Drafting mode)

    Hi, I'm not sure if I understod your problem correctly, but I assume that you've checked your: view (RMB on view border) -> Style... -> Silhouettes (on General tab)? /Lars

    If not working in expressions

    You need an ELSE... IF(length > 100)(3) ELSE (0) /Lars

    Right Click not working

    In some (rare) cases a function key on the keyboard or some help settings in Windows locks up, making your computer behave like some key are pressed (like Alt for instance)... I can't remember what's actually triggering this, but a quick check to ensure that Fn, Ctrl, Alt etc. are functioning as...

    Replace sketch with expression?

    Based on your information regarding that all the other features are the same I would propose this as an alternative solution: 1. Create a small body (extrude or revolve) in a position that ensures it to always be within an area/volume that are common for all the sketches (so that you can use...

    How do you choose the sketch? By editing section in, for example, extrude/revolve or...?

    Associative (polygon) faces in Adv. Simulation

    Hej Petter, Thanks for your ansver. I assumed that this was the general behavior and that I would have to adress this in another way, although I was hoping for improvement in later versions of NX. Now that you've confirmed the same behavior in later versions of NX I can, with more effort, look...

    Associative (polygon) faces in Adv. Simulation

    Hi, I'm currently investigating the possibilities of setting up FE-data (nodes and elements) to my automated CAD-models. My models are built in a way that allows surfaces to "come and go" depending on which final form the model shall describe. My method ensures that a certain feature of my...

    Rule already exists - Error while opening part

    A problem discussed in a previous thread, thread561-241067 , is still a problem in NX 6.0.5.3. I have a component that can't be opened as single part or accessed in an assembly. If I try to open it as a single part the message: "The following files could not be located causing this open to...

    Suppressing threaded holes

    Thanks for your input! The solution in this case will be to do all the threaded holes separately instead of instance them. Unless someone comes up with a better solution. My model is an automated turbine rotor, so any solution other than circular instance/pattern will not do the trick. :)

    Suppressing threaded holes

    A simplified test shows that the instanced threaded holes are the ones generating the problem.

    Suppressing threaded holes

    Hi, I've got a problem regarding the suppression of threaded holes. In my model i have a couple of threaded holes that I suppress by expressions in the cases where I don't use them. The suppression itself works as expected, but when i run Check Mate I get an error complaining on that I have...
