Welcome to what's new in Siemens NX.
In this video, we're going to be taking a look at the latest enhancements to
model based definition and to take you through the demo let's hand over to Paul.
So the next stage of the process is to start to document the model using
model-based definition and in particular product and manufacturing information.
or PMI.
So I enter the PMI application.
I have a number of commands that are available to me to document the geometry.
Typically I'd select one of the commands and start to pick geometry
off of the topology optimized results.
But in this first instance, I'm going to use one of our pre-configured rules.
These automate the ability to apply PMI to the model.
So this instance, I'm going to look at creating the size on all of the holes.
In my model, I invoke the rule.
It's now intelligently searching the model to find all of the holes
within the parts and applying the PMI information directly to that.
And as you can see, it's found the 12 holes that connect the bracket
to the gearbox the two large holes through which the shaft passes and
the four holes that, uh, use to connect to the bracket to the chassis.
Now, as I said, there were a number of other commands that we can use.
So if I want to add further PMI again, I can just pick geometry
directly off of the model.
Okay, we're going to add some tolerance to that.
And again, it's as easy as that, I'm just literally picking geometry
straight off our optimized results.
So we could continue obviously to completely fully document the
model, but you get an idea in this demonstration of some of the power.
Been able to apply and fully document, a model,with PMI, either manually
or with one of the pre-configured rules that we have at our disposal,
the final part of this demonstration or section of the demonstration,
we're going to replace the existing bracket with this new optimized model.
So let's take a look at doing that.
We'll pull up our sub assembly that contains the
bracket, the original bracket.
And the first thing I want to do is to remove that I can also
remove these other components.
Let's add our single piece bracket in
We know the part number can see the thumbnail of that that's snap that.
to here lets position it like so and then we can use the Assembly constraints
and there we have it.
Our part is now being added in to the original assembly and we can
take a look at the top level again, let's just take a look inside.
You can see our new bracket.fits nicely within the original assembly.
I've completed my tasks.
I've done the topology optimization study.
I've then done some modification to the results.
added some NX features.
Added some PMI, and now I'm going to hand it over to my colleague
Ashley who's going to check to make sure that it's 3d printable.
Thanks for watching in the next video, we'll be taking a look at the latest
enhancements to additive manufacturing.
We hope you enjoyed this video and we'll see you in the next one.
