Hi @palanikrishnan2129, the example is using a 3rd party solution. However in the later versions of NX it is an integrated solution through "Insert QR/Bar Code". Best Regards Fred

Hi @eobet, absolutely can do. I don know why this got market "For Kids" as that label comes with heaps of restrictions. The label is now changed and you should be able to add it to your playlist. 🙂

Hi @HopeScreen, ensure that your role is allowing for you to use it (given that you have a license for the option) - set your user role to "Advanced". If not available on the Ribbon at the top - RMB on the Ribbon and check the "Reverse Engineering" option.

Happy for the update and that it is of use to you! I have updated the link that takes you to the Siemens NX Design Forum and the specific post.

@rds6802- Did you get any information regarding how to model the O-ring

Hi Edvinas V, thank you for your reply and the recognition here its a boost to continue providing solutions here. To you questions. 1. Unsew has been around for a couple of releases and is really handy to separate an area from a sheet or solid body for various purposes. Just to highlight, it is not a copy but the actual same faces that originates form the original body but in unsew'n state can be handled separate form the original body and support various worklflows and when done can be sewn back into the original body. 2. The bodies in the video; one traditional Solid Body (the green pipe) and one Convergent Body or facet body (bright blue). The convergent body is a body that is defined by a "cloud" of triangular planar faces. This is often resulting bodies from e.g a 3D scan of some sort. These bodies are not parametric nor mathematically defined (coordinates only). NX provides great strength in its Full Hybrid Modeling capabilities as these Convergent bodies can be mixed together with traditional sculpting and parametric molding - Surface and Solid modeling. This means that you do not necessarily need to reverse engineer e.g a scan of an object and redefine areas as analytic shapes to use them in your digital definition and manufacturing processes, you can leave them as Convergent Bodies (facet bodies) and include them in you workflows directly. Many of the traditional features also work directly together with the Convergent Bodies and there is no need to reverse engineer whole scans you can settle for a limited area and sometimes you don’t have to do anything - just use the Convergent Bodies directly in your workflow - as can be seen in the video. Extremely powerful and enables unlimited workflows. Now the Cleanup is a function that I highly recommend to always start of with as this will optimize the facet body input. If the body originates form a scan or another system there might be some quality issues where you e,g have Degenerated Edges, Folded Edges, Self-Intersections, Inconsistent Normal’s or Laminar Slits - The Cleanup Facet Bodies helps eliminate all these quality issues and in doing so ensures eliminating downstream issues before they become issues on e.g. imported STL’s from other systems or Scans. Best Regards Fred

@@fredriksandblom27 Thanks for the explanation, appreciated! I just received the training to use the ATOS 3D scanner, so all of this is very relevant to me.

@@pino32wn, great scanner you've got there. Are you going to use it for reverse engineering, repairs quality validation or others?

@@fredriksandblom27 We are using it for many tasks, for running production to check and track critical dimensions, for the PPAP parts, and for R&D purposes. Planning to use it for making some esthetical parts from modeling clay, scan them, and do reverse engineering.

Thank you Produktdesign-Kavani-GmbH, your comment is very much appreciated and spurs me to produce more material here.

Hi @Rick in Texas! Yes you are correct, however the basic WAVE functionality will produce PDLO's only and require an assembly structure to be created and to exist associativity. Sorry I was a bit unclear in the video but the request was for how to copy entities from one part to another, non associative and with now supporting assembly structure (the one in the example was just to get a picture of what is going on and to explain the expected result). Copy and paste will work in some cases but when you as here want to just copy a face of a solid across you either need to WAVE link it or Drag and Drop Between Windows. Using the proposed Drag and Drop Between Windows functionality eliminates creating that temporary assembly and produce an entity in the target (non associative). The Drag and Drop Between Windows was introduced in NX12. //Best Regards Fred

Thank you Naveen! Very much appreciated and its this feedback that makes this work worth while!

Thank you very much for the feedback helmi! Very much appreciate the feedback here. The gratitude from people like you makes my effort here worth while! Ill try to keep things coming your way. in the meantime keep up the good work there helimi!

Hi Міністерство Мехатроніки! Thank you for your comment. Training and development makes perfect. There is always room for improvement. I try my best to help out where there are things that needs to get sorted. The documentation is great and Command Finder along with the F1 key to get to the Help Documentation is your best friend! The Siemens NX community is a great source of information community.sw.siemens.com/s/ . Remember that if you have problems with the software do not hesitate to contact Siemens Support Center of contact your Sales Representative www.plm.automation.siemens.com/global/en/support/ . Keep up the good work there Міністерство Мехатроніки!

It truly is a great piece for software Sahar Gal. I hope you enjoyed the shared knowledge 🙂

Hi Isaac Olsen, thank you for your question. Working with reverse engineering in NX is a really cool thing as you do not really need to reverse engineer everything - or anything. NX handles faceted bodies like Convergent bodies that can be incorporated into your workflow associativity. You do not need to reverse engineer more than you need (or at all) - meaning that if there are areas that you need to modify diametrically you only convert those areas. You can also modify your faceted body - all boils down to what you need and what would be you requirements. You have total freedom to define your process here. Now to whats been done in this video: When reverse engineering or handling facet data you need 2 modules in NX Polygon Modeling and Reverse Engineering. For whats being done in this video have a look to Replace Mesh with Face. This converts a selected area of your faceted body (Convergent Body) to analytic shapes that you easily can manipulate parametric. Really speed things up here.

This is upon request from the user, for some reason.....

Hi Hani Khalil. Thanx for checking in and checking my channel out. Cant quite remember what i did here. It all depends on your system setup. However if a simple on you can use Show All (Ctrl+Shift+U)

Hi @Eco Tso, For best performance keep the parts in the cloud and download a copy should you need/want. Parts are then loaded from the server where the software is run and only the graphics is sent between your local machine and the server.

Hi, The same question, How create deformable O ring

Thanks a million UpNa RaGe! Allays great with some encouraging words now and again to stay motivated sharing my knowledge.
