Solid Edge Assembly Best Practices Take sections using either the Section command on the PMI tab or using the Set Planes feature on the View tab This will help spot overlaps Use the Drag Component command with Detect collision mode to avoid any interference The Good, the Bad and the Best
NX11 Assembly constraints: Give component(s) freedom to move . . . - Siemens NX11 Assembly constraints: Give component(s) freedom to move until it collides with another surface? Simply put, I'm designing a hinge mechanism that has some "slop" built into it by way of a pressed in limit pin that can collide with the surface of an oversized hole
Mastering the Range Offset command in Solid Edge ST4 Controlling the range of allowable motion helps prevent over extension, or collisions, of parts in assemblies In Solid Edge ST4, it is now possible to create an offset to control the range of allowable motion in relationships such as mate, planar align, axial align and more
Tutorials for collision testing - Siemens: Solid Edge - Eng-Tips You can detect collisions with both a selection of parts or the entire assembly The part that you are moving must be under constrained If you have it fully constrained you can suppress some of them
Assembly Modeling Management - Solid Edge With assembly modeling tools in Solid Edge, you can easily update relationships and constraints, whether you are modifying existing parts, or importing new assemblies Textual and symbolic representations of assembly components and their relationships, organized in an outline format, make it simple to find, activate, and control their display
Objects intersecting eachother in assembly. - Siemens: Solid Edge How do i prevent this? I have each part, bolts, handles and separate boxes in different par files I haven then started to asseble by using the bottom box as ground ( asm) and imported the other par s into the asm
Some assembly construction questions - Siemens: Solid Edge - Eng-Tips When placing a part in an assembly (using the drag method) often the part will end up partially buried inside the base part Is there an easy way to move it out without disrupting the work flow too much (ie having to leave assembly mode)?
assembly relationships - Siemens: Solid Edge | Eng-Tips You can either leave that constraint out altogether, have it in, position it adequately for the sub assembly drawing and suppress it (incase you need to adjust it in future) or put the relationship in, position it and then change it to floating offset (again incase you need to change it later)
Help w Assembly Constraints One pretty simple way to do it is to use a Parallel assembly relationship Select the hole axis in each part as the axes to make parallel and make sure the offset type is set to Floating instead of Fixed, otherwise you will get a conflicting relationship message One way immediately comes to mind
Overlapping solids and sections - Siemens: Solid Edge - Eng-Tips Is there a way to configure what should Solid Edge do when there's a 3D overlap within sections? For example, having some parts with higher priority than others in order to show their filling in those cases?
