Associativity for Imported Data

1. Create a new part

2. Import IGES/ProE/STEP data

3. Switch to Advanced Simulation and create and Idealized part, FEM and SIM.

4. Switch to the Idealized part. Insert/Associated Copy/Wave Link Select all bodies

5. In the FEM and SIM files, create the mesh, properties and boundary conditions. Solve the model.

6. SAVE ALL files.

7. Create a new part.

8. Import the revised geometry in the same format.

Green lettering indicates the steps required to maintain

associativity.

Associativity for Imported Data

9. Switch to the Idealized part and the Modeling application.

10. Open the assembly tab, highlight the original part.

Under the 3rd MB, Select “Replace Component”

When prompted select the revised part

11. Switch to the Part Navigator, highlight the Linked Part.

Under the 3rd MB, Select “Update Link”

Select the replacement part

Select the Replacement Assistant

Select the geometric update

Associativity for Imported Data

13.Switch to the FEM and update the Mesh. If any modifications were done on the FE entity level,

they will need to be repeated.

14. In the SIM, create a clone of the original solution. Solve the new model.

Both results files are available to compare.

Create FEA Files

Switch to the Advanced Simulation application.

Create a new FEM and SIM.

Make sure that “Create Idealized Part” option is checked.

To make geometry selection easier, change the use bodies to ‘Select Bodies’ and do not select any bodies.

Create Wave Link

Switch to the Idealized part.

Create a wave link of the geometry. All bodies can be

selected.

Turn on the “Hide Original” option.

Create FEA Model

If the “Select Bodies” option was chosen, you need to add geometry to the FEM.

Highlight the FEM

Under the 3rd Mouse button, select Edit

Select all bodies.

Only the linked bodies should be displayed

Using the Revised Part

Switch to the idealized part.

Select the Assembly Navigator. Highlight the part

Under 3rd Mouse Button, select

When prompted select the revised part. This part can be loaded into NX or can be selected from the O/S.

JT Update

For JT files, a new revised part does not need to be created.

Replace the original JT file on the O/S with the revised JT. Use the same name

Make the part the displayed part.

Select: File/Properties

Select: Update Part File

Switch to the idealized part.
