Synchronous Modeling and Parametric Design

The Synchronous Modeling and Parametric Design course is designed to sustain the momentum launched in earlier NX courses. As a second tier course, Synchronous Modeling and Parametric Design (SMP) aims to capitalize on the designers heightened skill level and propel his or her job productivity to the next level. This course includes key productivity skills that delve deeper into the advanced and associative modeling concepts.

Day 1

• Documenting design intent (Feature Groups, Product Interfaces)
• Editing parametric models (Replace features, Suppression by Expression, model updates)
• Associative curve operations (Project, Join, Intersect, Wrap/Unwrap, Text)

Day 2

• Emboss geometry (Emboss Body, Emboss, Offset Emboss)
• Blending techniques (Advanced Edge Blend options, Face blends)
• Interpart references (Interpart Expressions, Overriding Expressions)
• Capturing part shape variations (Deformable Parts)
• Design optimization (Optimization Study, Local and Global algorithms)

Day 3

• Intro to Synchronous modeling (Move, Pull, Replace, Delete Face)
• Modifying detail features using Synchronous (Resize Blend, Chamfer, Replace Blend)
• Reusing and relating faces using Synchronous (Pattern Face, Copy/Paste Face, Dimensions)
• Optional: History-Free Synchronous (Optimize Face, Adaptive Shell, Show Related)
