PLM Tech Talk Blog
This blog would give you some insights about NX Sketch Relations using toggle commands, characteristics of ribbon bar and Relation Finder Settings. Watch and learn how to use NX Sketch Relations in this article.
Read more‘Why and How to Generate Milling Operation’ in NX CAM? Milling Operation is a part of NX CAM and is used for manufacturing planning, which will program any job due to their comprehensive and integrated NC programming capabilities in a single system. This enables the use of consistent 3D models, data and processes to seamlessly connect planning and shop floor operations with a digital thread.

Read moreThis is our first blog on the new features in Simcenter latest release. We will continue such blogs in future as we do for Femap. New feature release is a continuous process throughout the year. Usually these features are released in patches as Simcenter 2021.x where x =1,2,3 etc. We are not mapping functional feature with the patch number. However,

Have you used the new sketcher in Siemens PLM NX? Starting in 1926 Series, Siemens PLM has totally changed the way sketching is done in NX. The following Tech Tips by the i GET IT Learning Team will demonstrate some simple shortcuts to help speed up your sketching process. Tip #1 Relation Lock: As sketch curves are being developed, Mouse
Read moreThis blog article discusses the Siemens simulation tokens models. In Siemens world as well, a token is considered as a minimum sellable unit of the product the works on tokens scheme. Majority of simulation products in Siemens world are supported on tokens licensing. These include Simcenter 3D products as well as enterprise version of Nastran. As every underlying product consumes

What are Formboards, and what do they do? To describe what a formboard is, and what it does, we need to start with what a wiring harness is, and what it does. The dictionary describes a wiring harness as a system of insulated conducting wires bound together with insulating materials, used in the electrical system of a machine, such as

Many years ago, or so it seems, one of the methods for checking clearance and interference’s was performed through the use of drawings. By cutting sections through the parts in an assembly drawing, the detail of that assembly could be shown in a section view, and then distances could be measured between parts to determine whether clearance objectives where being
Read moreThere have been quite a few market whispers about MSC Software and its products since the company’s acquisition by Symphony Technologies few years back. It’s flagship pre-processing tool called MSC Patran has been under spotlight since the introduction of new equivalent tool by MSC Software (now Symphony) called MSC Apex. MSC Software adopted a similar strategy during 2008-09 by introducing
Read moreProduct and Manufacturing Information (PMI) consists of non-geometric data, that is attached directly to a 3D CAD model to define geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), engineering and manufacturing specifications, dimensions, and text. PMI is part of Model Based Definition (MBD) and together these two elements are a part of a Digital Twin. Applying PMI to a 3D model can reduce or
