setting monocrome display drafting using Siemes NX

monochrome display is important for presentation, and for picture when writing report or drawing picture for book, default display is the drafting of Unigraphics colored according to the color line. for those of you who will make presentations, either for training or for the presentation of the work does not deny that sometimes requiring monochrome colors for drafting default color drafting view original color when drafting view is not monochrome as well as making tutorials and books, monochrome display is often required. this is due to make the reader understand the book or tutorial images that have been made​​. to convert to monochrome,...

Measure Radius of Gyration of a Mass In Siemens NX

In Siemens NX is easy to calculate radius of gyration of mass in one part or assembly part, the definition of  Radius Gyration are The Radius of Gyration of a Mass about a given axis is a distance k from the axis. At this distance k an equivalent mass is thought of as a Point Mass. The moment of inertia of this Point Mass about the original axis is unchanged. The radius of gyration (r) about a given axis can be computed in terms of the mass moment of inertia I around that axis, and the total mass m; or I is a scalar, and is not the moment of inertia tensor , (efunda and wiki) Measure EG in Siemens NX to begin measure bodies in Siemens...

Manage Shading Display in Unigraphics NX

true appearance of shading is very useful especially for presentations, although the performance may decrease the ability of computer graphics, with this view you can change the look as original material, adding a light, adjusted the shadows, adding a background to the floor. picture above shows the view without shading, the display mode is suitable for the design process,because the computer process became light. to begin work with shading 1. activate true shading toolbar, you can also choose it from ribbon toolbar 2. click True Shading icon, it will activate all buton icon in this toolbar, This step will automatically change the display...

Change folder first time load for save or open file

To define how and where NX load part file, we need to configure some basic function like, save, open and assembly. Dialog box will appear, like the below picture, from the dialog box here we can set up load the file first time as may be required, it is easier for us in working with Unigraphic later.  1. Part version You can set whether each time to load a new file or open a file starting from the folder, or history. UGS default is the folder. 2. scope You can choose all the components directly on the load time, or just based on the stored data, or other options, are generally used are all components (including part assembly). 3. Save Load...
