Tutorial 2A
- Import 2D outline drawing into Siemens NX 6
- Build 3D curves based on the imported drawing
- Build the upper surfaces of the mouse
Tutorial 2B
- Do the draft analysis to search any undercut portion on the upper surfaces
- Build the lower surfaces of the mouse
- Convert the surfaces into a solid (Master Model)
Tutorial 2C
- Build the parting surfaces based on the imported drawing
- Create components from the finished model
- Create a new part in the assembly (Design in Context)
- Modify a part design while looking at other parts (Design in Context)
Please be reminded that this series of tutorials is designed to demonstrate a design approach with
Siemens NX, rather than the command itself. For the details of commands, please read the online
help or attend the software training.
