Display Right Angled Head for Tool Path Verification I occasionally receive questions about the use of right-angled heads in NX CAM and tool path verification. If you use these types of heads often, you probably use NX CAM’s NC Simulation module to verify that your tool paths are collision- and gouge-free. But what if you [...]

Rollback Lofted Flange Behavior in Solid Edge 2020 & 2021 Are you running into issues trying to recreate Lofted Flanges in newer versions of Solid Edge? Let’s quickly cover the process of how to disable the “Auto Relief” option in Lofted Flange creation in Solid Edge 2020 & 2021 In the new versions of Solid […]
Creating a Reusable Parametric Component The reuse library has various uses such as housing common parts used within assemblies (i.e. hardware, clamps, pins, etc), features that are used routinely in your designs and / or have parameters preassigned to them, such as a feature color, or sketches that commonly used. Today, we will investigate the […]
Working With Revisions of Non-NX Parts and Translated Files Note: Download the part file and follow along with the blog! Replacement Assistant Part File If you deal with customer data from a non-NX part (Inventor, Solidworks, Catia etc.) you know that they are easily opened in NX. The problems come in when they send you […]
What is Feature Based Machining (FBM)? Part 2 How to Automate Your Manufacturing Process with "Create Feature Process" in NX CAM How does Create Feature Process fit in with part 1 of our feature based machining series? we discussed feature recognition in Siemens NX CAM. It allowed for interrogation of a solid body, finding feature bases [...]
Sheet Metal in NX Material properties and manufacturing processes can be difficult to create and manage due to complex sheet metal components. This inevitably results in avoidable errors and endless rework. The sheet metal design tools within NX enables interaction directly with the model on the screen and provides built-in design intent tailored specifically to [...]
Teamcenter Email Notifications Teamcenter has the capability to send out email notifications when workflows have started, completed or progressed to a next step. DBA users will need to configure or add certain Teamcenter preferences to gain this functionality. Beginning with Teamcenter 11.6 and 12.x, new preferences have been added to TEM (The Environment Manager) to […]
How to Install an Emergency NX License Server How to Install an Emergency NX License Server So you're being asked to work from home or a different environment other than the office. And now, you're scrambling to make sure you're able to get into all the software (NX, in this case) and systems that allow [...]
Synchronous Modeling Synchronous Technology lets designers, engineering simulation analysts, and CAM users make dramatic edits directly on the design geometry without having to know downstream processes. This allows for extensive redesigns in just a couple minutes using simple push and pull editing tools. In this 29-minute webinar replay, Application Engineer Reese Shearer answers [...]
5-Axis Chamfer Milling Technique The requirement is to mill a chamfer (.01 x 45 degrees) around the cutout that needs to be done with a 5-Axis operation. There are a few methods to do this but the most visual and understandable way that I have found Is through the construction of some extra surfaces. 1.) […]
Photorealistic Renderings for Impressive Presentations Whether you're designing a polished end-product or machinery components, a photorealistic rendering can make or break a presentation. With the drag and drop of a few materials, your CAD model will be runway-ready in a matter or minutes. In this 34-minute webinar replay, Application Engineer Michael Pinto tours the [...]
What is Feature Based Machining (FBM)? (Part 1) How to use Feature Recognition & Grouping in NX CAM Questions regarding feature based machining (FBM) in Siemens NX CAM arise from time to time - including ones about feature recognition. CAM users want a clearer understanding of the out-of-the-box functionality. As well, levels of customization to [...]
Teamcenter and IPEM – Creo Integration Teamcenter, as a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system, can integrate into a variety of CAD systems. This gives the end user the ability to stay and use the tool that they are accustomed to while utilizing Teamcenter’s features. Each integration has its own server and client setup, sometimes it’s […]
Getting Started with Model Based Definition Model Based Definition (MBD) is transforming manufacturing by providing a single source of dimensional and tolerance information. Industry leaders are already utilizing the practice to ensure data consistency throughout the product lifecycle. In this 26-minute webinar, Application Engineer Reese Shearer tours the PMI interface in NX, new improvements [...]
Create an Isometric Orientation from an Orthographic View One of our users recently called in asking if it was possible to create an Isometric view from an orthographic view on a drawing. This took me on a walk down memory lane because this was something everyone knew in the early days of NX. First, I […]
