Hi to all guys, I've been using nx5 for just over a year I've only been working on modeling until now, I need to interface with the production activity and I don't know how to do it. Maybe it's a matter you've already faced... but I can't find what I'm looking for. .
I explain: I have a set formed by different parts, each part contains more solids (traves and extruded profiles) whose section is derived from simple sketches...(e.g. the structure of a shed)how can I set a system that computes lengths, flexions along a given axis, id number and weight of each solid and export the whole to an electronic sheet to be sent in production?
I would like to avoid creating the drafting of the model.. .
I hope I've been clear... a greeting to all!!! !

weight: the weight calculations by setting the material and asking nx to update it to each model save.length length: if you talk about the length of the beam, regardless of its shape... depends on how you got it... If it is an extrusion you can hook up as an attribute to the expression. otherwise you melt (or impose an associative measure).flessioni: maybe you have to set a fem calculation... unless I tilize the formulas I studied at the beginning.Number id: why not use the component name?

... once you have this information as component attributes you can think of exporting it all to a part list to put on the 2d.
pl you can then export it to excel via csv.
or put all this information in the assembly navigator and carry it in xml/cvs.
 
If you use the libraries to insert your components (you can change the lengths during insertion ) the attribute could be automatically generated at that time by an excel table tied to the master part.
from them as rightly recommended you use a "different materials" table that reads the attributes of the components.

Of course, to get exactly everything you need, you have to customize the libraries, but later also in the study and design phase, go away much smoother .

Hello, Paul.
with "free" do you mean those of mechanical routing or anything?
 
we say the standard part, I have them on nx6 but if I don't remember badly they had already been implemented in nx5

Just create by sketch the profiles I need and during the insertion phase I can change to what I need, starting from the only length of the profile, reaching even to vary the odds of the sketch according to or to existing parameters to table or to customized measures of the user.
all of course manages to compile also the attributes they need.

do a test with simple screws, bolts etc. and you will notice that attributes change according to what I insert.

with nx previous versions the same thing could be done with the part family , but it had the gap that the normalized could not be edited in phase of insertion .

Sorry, maybe we're just not aligned on the terms.
"standard part"? Reuse library?
 
I know for certain that Moldovawizard does it because I had already done it on normalized, so I think also these that will have the same settings could be made.

As an alternative, just put an expression as you said before, the library updates everything in place and consequently the expression updates the field.

Of course, these are so special optimizations that would be a minimum studied, but I think we can easily succeed.

Okay.
I am facing a proposal that goes so far.. .
to make the general thing as much as possible I thought of developing a small utility that extracts the bounging box and sketches as attribute so as to generate a sort of distinct cutting
 
If you need it,
there is already an equal procedure in Moldovawizard
if you call back the table of the separate materials
with the dx key you can select the size of the overmetal, this automatically opens the model, creates the bounding box and compile the attribute "stock size"

I know...
but I would not use mw for reasons of costs.. .
Plus I would like a recurring batch utility for all assembly components (would be hundreds)
 
I understand, but I suggest you copy the programming procedure.
I don't know if it's possible :wink:

I will make a small arnese .net that goes in every component... analyze it as size... and write the bounding box size in an attribute.
... and repeat the thing for each component... automatic.. .
:finger:

Nice.
could be very helpful.
