Casting to Machined Part | Siemens NX

[@o0obixelo0o]

Hi Class A. Thanks so much for this interesting approach to make a workflow from casting to finished parts. I have one question: why create that 'middle level' assembly that contains the raw part and the finished one? Can not be more easy and convenient to create only the two part ( raw and finished ) linking then the finished part directly to the raw part? I don't know what's the best practice, but i'd like to have your opinion on this other possibility. Thanks so much for all your work shared with us.

Me, in the same concern of why an intermediate Assy lever needed.

Just found another way. The middle Assembly you just mentioned could be used as Final machined part. Here is how. 1. Just add the Casting Part to Assembly 2. Make the WAVE to obtained the body of Casting Part 3. make "non-geometric for Casting Part" 4. Then Modify the Machined Part from Body obtained as you want.

That's a great tutorial.. thanks a lot mate.

nice explanation

What happens if a new version of the cast part is created? How will the new version update into the machine model?1

[@ClassASurfacing]

The bodies are linked. So if the Casting changes it will change in the Machined part.

class A surfacing If we are working in a plm system, the new version would actually be a new file. That would mean that the new version would have to replace the old version in assembly. Doesn’t that cause errors on associated features?

[@ClassASurfacing]

What PLM tool are you using? Also, do you have WAVE? Are you rolling a REV by doing a Save As or making a new file? Their are a lot of questions to answer. The correct way is to Save As on the Casting and have the Machined Part to force the link to switch. If that does not happen cleanly then you can relink and if you made your changes in a manner that is based off of good clean parametric modeling practice then you should not have too many update errors.

class A surfacing We use SAP PLM integrated through ECTR by DSC. Yes, we have WAVE. The new version is created as a new file, but the previous version is copied into it. In other words it is like a save as

[@ClassASurfacing]

Kind of is. The issue is the new body may not be mapped correctly when you do the copy. You may have to do a 'Replace' to get things to update.
