Using Siemens NX 11 Software Surface Design - Sink: Based On A Youtube NX Tutorial

Using Siemens NX 11 Software, this document provides instructions for creating a sink surface and shell using the Through Curve Mesh tool: 1) Open the sink.prt file containing six curves to define a surface and solid. 2) Create the sink surface using the Through Curve Mesh tool, selecting the lower horizontal curve as the primary curve and adding the upper horizontal curve. Add the transverse curves connecting the two horizontal curves. 3) Make the sink a shell by using the Shell tool to remove the interior of the surface, leaving the outer shell, using the two horizontal faces.

1 – Introduction.

Copy/paste the file


C:\Commun\NX\sink.prt into your local
folder and open it.
This file consists in six curves from which
a surface, and then a solid, will be defined.

2 – Creating the surfaces.

Click on the Through Curve Mesh button

, under the Surface button

.
In the Through Curve Mesh dialog box,
select the lower horizontal contour as
Primary Curve.
Note: if you do not manage to select this
curve, check if the Curve Rule filter is set
to Connected Curves

.
Click on the Add New Set button of
the Primary Curve field.
Then, select the upper horizontal contour
and click again on the Add New Set button
.
Important: when adding curves, check
that the orientation arrows are pointing
anti-clockwise. If not, double click on
each of them.

Click on the Select Curve option of the
Cross Curve field. Set the Curve Rule
filter to Tangent Curves
.
Select a first transversal curve and click
on the Add New Set button of the
Cross Curve field.
Select the next anti-clockwise
transversal curve and click the Add New
Set button of the Cross Curve field.
A surface should appear in the
visualization window.

Continue selecting and adding the


transversal curves anti-clockwise until
the surface is closed.
Click OK to validate.
