By default it is possible to show the mass property directly in Assembly Navigator window. Of course, you have to pick the related Save option beforehand. The Generate Weight Data option (if turned on) forces NX save the weight data along with other information. Calculated mass saves in the NX parameter (usually MassPropMass or something).… Read More »
How to create a contact point between Datum Plane and a Sphere? Intersection point feature in Siemens NX doesn’t provide such functionality. So what will be a solution? The answer is obvious – a center of a sphere, projected onto a plane along it normal vector, will be a contact point… Read More »
