What really matters to NX is not your OS, but the hardware you give it to work with. NX will run on Mac OS, Unix-like systems and any Windows version from XP onwards. As soon as a piece of software needs to accurately simulate real-world physics we move into the realm of high-performance computing and therefore choosing the right machine to run NX is a very important consideration if you want to complete job in a timely fashion. This means that NX is more than just a design package, but also a system for engineering simulation and manufacturing. Siemens NX brings these highly specialised, high-end CAD, CAM,CAE and PLM functions to desktop workstations. If i guess, the vertices of these faces are not very accurate, a deviation from the ideal position is probably allowed in that other system, a close approximation in NX should work as well.ĭepending on what you want to do with this model, a remodel of the strands might be the thing to do.While software like AutoCAD serves the vast majority of design needs for large sections of the design and engineering industry, there is still a lot of scope for truly high-end design applications. I guess this is an approximation of a smooth shape.( it is not smooth as is in NX.) One of the strands has ~4400 faces, the other 9 probably similar number.Įach face ( seems consistent) is a single patch b-surface 1x1 degree. The strands might be the output from a FEM System ? ( based on this, maybe you should tighten the Modeling distance tolerance. This is a pretty small model, the block is 8.7 mm, each strand is ~1,3 mm across I do know a few details based on the model you supplied.

Since I do not know why or what this model is, it's hard to propose a method. There is the move edge feature that could be used to modify the shape, but i rather think you should re-think the entire process.
