HOW TO USE EXTRACT BODY IN SIEMENS NX (UG)

INSERT    Ø   ASSOCIATIVE COPY  Ø   EXTRACT BODY

     EXTRACT  BODY :-

   

     Creates a new body by copying the original body by  face, set of faces or by a body.

USES:- Creates a multiple duplicate bodies in the same file.

How to uses the command.

First we need  body which we have to create other duplicate body.In this we have options to select faces adjacent faces,body faces and single face.

STEP :1

Create a body.

After creating a body open Extract body command.Here we have options to select face or body .

I am selecting the faces.And there is option in setting Hide original i.e., the original body will hide.

I am selecting the faces.And there is option in setting Hide original i.e., the original body will hide.

The original body will hide and the duplicate body is created.

NOTE;- In setting fix at current time stamp is that when we select that option it will fix at the current time and what ever the changes we have made after creating a duplicate body to the original body it will not change to the duplicate body.

HOW TO USE EXTRUDE COMMAND IN NX (UNI-GRAPHICS)

EXTRUDE

Creates a feature by extruding a section along a vector by specified distance.

i.e., Extruded Body option is to create a solid or sheet body by sweeping a curves, solid faces, solid edges, sheet body in a linear direction for a specified distance.

INSERT------->DESIGN FEATURE-------> EXTRUDE

First we have to create i.e curve line or a sketch to use extrude command.

I created a sketch to use this command

Open the extrude command.

After opening the command we have to select the sketch or curve i selected the curve it will show like the fig above then we will give the starting and end valve.

Boolean operations

In the above fig there are Boolean operations  unite, subtract , intersect.

UNITE means the solid body will unite the other existing body

SUBTRACT means it will subtract with the selected body.

 INTERSECT means it will intersect.

WCS (WORKING CO-ORDIANTE SYSTEM) TUTORIAL NX (UNI-GRAPHICS UG)

CO-ORDINATE SYSTEMS

 There are different coordinate systems in NX. A three-axis symbol is used to identify the 

coordinate system.

Absolute Coordinate System

The Absolute Coordinate System is the coordinate system from which all objects are referenced. This is a fixed coordinate system and hence the locations and orientations of every object in NX7 modeling space are related back to this system. The Absolute Coordinate System (or “Absolute CSYS”) also provides a common frame of reference between part files. An absolute position at X=1, Y=1, and Z=1 in one part file is the same location in any other part file as well.

Work Coordinate System

The Work Coordinate System (WCS) is what you will use for construction when you want to determine orientations and angles of features. The axes of the WCS are denoted XC, YC, and ZC. (The “C” stands for “current”).

Move the WCS

Here, you will learn how to translate and rotate the WCS.

Choose FORMAT →WCS

DYNAMICS

This DYNAMICS  we can move and rotate WCS(working co-ordinate) system dynamically.when we click the Dynamics button it will automatically highlight

the x,y,z axis as shown in below fig.

ORIGIN

Moves the origin of the WCS(Working Co-ordinate system).when we we moves the wcs in location of the model this origin options will set the wcs to where we want to move the location of the wcs.

   ROTATE

The Rotate is all about the WCS will rotate about the direction which we want to rotate. It will display window. In this we will give angle also.

ORIENT

This ORIENT is all about it will reorients the wcs to new co-ordinate system.i.e, It will moves the wcs to another location.It will display window that where we want to orient the wcs.

SET WCS TO ABSOLUTE

Moves the position and orintation of the WCS to the Absolute coordiante system.Moves the WCS(Working Co-ordinate system).when we we moves the wcs in location of the model this origin options will set the wcs to origin where the CSYS(0,0,0) the wcs will set.

NX 7.5 GATEWAY WINDOW AND FUNCTIONS OF TOOLBARS.

Title Bar:

The Title Bar displays the following information for the current part file.

•       The name of the currently displayed part.

•       The name of the current work part.

•       If the work part is read only.

•       If the work part has been modified since it was last saved.

Menu Bar:

The Menu Bar is the horizontal menu of options displayed at the top of the main window 

directly below the Title Bar. Menu bar options are called menu titles and each corresponds 

to a NX functional category. Clicking on a menu title leads to a drop-down menu of choices.

Toolbar:

A Toolbar is a row of icons that you can use to activate standard NX menu items. NX 7 

comes with a large selection of tool bars. The active Tool bars are located below the Menu 

bar. The too lbars can be placed anywhere on screen by dragging their handles.

Selection Bar:

The Selection Bar is located below the active Toolbars and displays the selection options. These 

options include the Filters, Components/Assembly, and Snap Points for selecting features.

Resource Bar:

The Resource Bar features icons for a number of pages in one place using very little user interface 

space. NX 7 places all navigator windows in the Resource Bar. By Default, the Resource Bar is 

located on the left side of the NX 7 window. You can dock and un dock the resource bars by clicking 

on the pin icon on the top left of the resource window.

Cue Line:

The Cue Line is shown at the top of the main NX window below all the Tool bars. The Cue 

Line displays prompt messages that indicate the next action that needs to be taken.

Status Line:

The Status Line, located to the right of the Cue area, displays information messages about 

the current options or the most recently completed function.

Progress Meter:

The Progress Meter is displayed in the Cue Line when the system performs a time-

consuming operation such as loading a large assembly. The meter shows the percentage of 

the operation that has been completed. When the operation is finished, the system displays 

the next appropriate cue.

Part Navigator

The Part Navigator provides a visual representation of the parent-child relationships of 

features in the work part in a separate window in a tree type format. It shows all the 

primitives, entities used during modeling. It allows you to perform various editing actions 

on those features.

History

The History Palette provides fast access to recently opened files or other palette entries. It

can be used to reload parts that have been recently worked on or to repeatedly add a small

set of palette items to a model.

STARTING NX 7.5 SESSION AND OPENING FILES

       Open NX 7.5 Session

From the Windows desktop screen, click on Start → Programs → UGS NX 7.5 → NX 7.5

The main NX7 Screen will open. This is the Gateway for the NX7 software. The NX7 blank screen looks like the figure shown below. There will be different tips displayed on the screen about the special features of the current version. The Gateway also has the Standard Toolbar that will allow you to create a new file or open an existing file. On the left side of the Gateway screen, there is a Toolbar called as Resource Bar that has menus related to different modules and the ability to define and change the ‘Role’ of the software, view ‘History’ of the software use and so on. This will be explained in detail later in this chapter. Let’s begin by learning how to open a part file in NX7.

To create a new file there are two options. You can click on the ‘New’ tab on top of the screen or go through the ‘File’ drop-down menu.

 Open a New File

On the menu bar found at the top-left of the screen, click FILE           NEW

 You need to select the units (inches or millimeters) of the working environment by clicking on the drop-down menu on the top right corner. The default is millimeters.In drop down list we can select the inches also make sure that what we have to select depend upon your model.
