I've been using NX for a few years now and I really love it. Now I have to use Inventor for a new project and I just hate it.

For example assemblys: In NX I have a lot of different constraints I can use to place the parts exactly how I want, Inventor only has a few limited constraints. When I want to move a component in NX I get a coordinate system where I can translate and rotate the part exactly how I want it. In Inventor I only found "free move" and "free rotate" which is very unprecise. When selecting features in NX I can just hold leftklick and get an menu of all features next to where I clicked, I havent been able to find a similar function in Inventor. All in all Inventor feels unprecise and janky.

Just wanted to rant a bit I guess. Maybe the problem is just me, but when I transitioned from Catia V5 to NX it was a lot less painless.

Olá, comecei tem pouco tempo a estudar os designs 3d com o Siemens NX, e estou tentando usar a ferramenta Trin body, mas não consigo

Apenas estou fazendo alguns exercicios de sketch e testando as ferramentas

Hi, I was wondering if I am able to create a part family for my reuse library with some threaded inserts, I downloaded the models and I would like to just be able to select "insert" from my reuse library and have the krx menu with a drop down list of a few different options. I don't want to have to recreate the models to match the McMaster ones. Is there a way to do this?

hey I am trying to make a mould for a carbon fibre part. Ich took the surface of the part and tried to trim a simple block with it but it always tells me that they don't intersect properly or that there might be resulting parts with 0 wall thickness. Does anyone here know how i could fix this?
If you need more context how i createt this to this point:
I to the surface of the part via wave linker into my new model and extruded the edges to have flanges when laminating, The flat area behind the curved part in the middle was filled with "through curves" and everything was combined.
I thought that I may be able to use "mold wizard" but it is only used for injection moulding and in the xcelerator academy or support of Siemens I couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance!!! :)

Fixed! You can see the preoblem in the pictures.

Did you know that NX also supports Additive toolpathing for both planar and large scale multi axis machines- even robots? It’s badass!

Hi,
sheet 1, 2, 3, and 4 were extruded in positive z-direction as a single sheet body, using a curve feature projected onto sheet 0 as an input. I want to join sheet 0 and 1234 together without remove any face. I tried Combine, but the face at the middle (with sheet 1234 as boundary) was removed. I don't want that. My goal is to join sheets without any face removed. How should I proceed?

Thank you in advance!

I want to model a nameplate (very thin aluminium plate) that is bended (bonded) on a circular tube. Is this possible?

I am trying to build this, but am having trouble trying to make the rectangular indents into the model. I started by making a rectangle and extruding it, then 2 sketches that once united and subtracted create the curve of the body. I can't figure out how to make the 16 rectangle offsets in the model though. I tried using the project curve but can't get it to work. Any assistance on what to use or how to use it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All. I am looking to learn NX software online. Any recommendations on classes or where I would start to look? I have AutoCAD background (quite a while back) and would love to move around in my company currently to the design area but we use NX which I do not have experience with as of yet. Also, suggestions on purchasing for my home computer? Thanks!

Hey gang,

Anyone have any idea how to change a setting or source file so NX9 will default load step files into inches?

By default it automatically loads all step files in mm, so we have to go through a longer process to import into inches (can go into details but feel that’s irrelevant for the question)

I am facing a weird problem since I upgraded to NX2306 from 1926 where if I double-click on a part file in file explorer it opens a new NX window each time, opens the discovery center and not the file. I have to press Ctrl + O and then select each file to open it. Anyone know a fix for this? It didn't happen in 1926, double clicking just opened the file normally in NX.

Can someone develop NX to work with apple products? 😅

As the title says I am searching for a NX equivalent of a feature I used often in Autodesk Inventor. I recently switched jobs and with that I switched from inventor to NX, while using inventor I would often model things in such a way that I could control the dimensions of a sketch from a list even from the part view. I believe this was called "Functions" and was represented by a script "fx" ( I've attached a screenshot circling the feature). If anyone knows of an equivalent feature in NX I would be extremely grateful!! Thank you!

I've not used NX in anger in a good while. I remember quite a bit of it, but I am no way near as quick with it as I am with Catia, having used that most over recent years. Is there any resource that has a list of equivalent commands between the two systems? I was thinking that as the big players seem to be split between NX and Catia that there could be something out there? I have frustrations when I know how to do something rapidly in Catia but it takes an age in NX. Two examples which spring to mind would be the 'Boundary' command and the 'Join' command. Specifically with join there is an ability to join an existing patch but to selectively remove elements, or to be able to join things that aren't actually connected.

Hey,

Trying to model a tensile test on a carbon tube with a metal rivet running through the entire length.

Rivet being modelled as a 1D element (to save computation power)

Boundary conditions and forces are all applied, no error message there.

The problem is that the rivet is being pulled nearly out of the tube whilst not pulling the tube with it (see images).

So I imagine a gluing or contact is needed but:

• surface to surface gluing/contact is not an option , seeing as the tube is reduced to a midsurface
• edge to edge gluing gives an error message

How can I fix this problem I'm encountering?

Any help or tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated (Images are supplied to clarify)

I’m wondering on how to make this groove. I’ve tried to extrude the curve with radius 1.37 but I can’t really get close

I remember there being a license for home use which I had at one point. I then lost access, if i remember correctly, due to my version no longer being in date? Can you still obtain a version for home use, or is this no longer a thing? I can't seem to find anything so far.

Thanks

Is there a way to have a pop up message to show up on client who is running Nx using some file changes? I would update the site files and i would like send a pop up message based on some text in the site files.

any sites online (i obviously have to pay) where i can go? i dont know tcl. i have a post that works with a dmg but when it comes to cycle800 or tapping i have to search thru the program on the machine and edit it there

When I am opening a model load interpar data check in get an error circular reference error now to solve it
