NX Algorithmic Modeling: Minimum Distance "Ladder" [NX 1980]

This video was created in response to a question asked on our user forums this week. It shows how to create an NX Algorithmic Modeling feature that builds a ladder-like set of minimum-distance lines from a selected curve to a set of points along another curve. I cover all the steps in the construction of this Algorithmic Feature from scratch, and show that the newly created feature acts just like any other history-based modeling feature in NX. I'll do more videos on the creation of rules like this soon! [NX1980]

Extra ordinary explanation sir!! i love to hear more videos from you

[@candradiningrat9035]

Nice !! Really useful explanation

[@cadme2236]

Very very amazing work 😄, congratulations 👏

[@juannete2873]

Nice explanation.

[@benpst]

Really cool feature and great explanation. In terms of the output, won't creating a studio surface between the two splines and using isoparametric curves create the same result?

[@Nucleon447]

That was my first idea too 👍

[@fredriksandblom27]

No, the minimum distance will behave differently. Using a studio surface or preferably Through Curves (to kind of get closer and mimic what Taylor is doing here) would kind of get you close depending on what alignment is used but it would not be the same thing.

thank you...

[@ilavarasankl8726]

Can Algorithmic Feature be used for defining rule based Assembly or is it capable only for parts. Offcourse Product Template Studio offers rule based Assembly builder, but the problem is the rules have to created as expressions. This kind of defining rules in UI will be nice

[@fredriksandblom27]

As the entity in question is a Feature it is a Feature residing in a part. I guess you would be able to pull expressions that might be useful for assemblies....

Not quite yet... but we agree that's a great idea. :-)

Hello sir
Nice explanation
Am having few doubts on this modelling
How do i contact you please

[@taylorandersonnxvideos]

My email is exactly what you might expect for a person at Siemens... (first.last) Hope that helps! :-)
