Siemens NX Tutorial | Clip Section, Cutting through bodies and assemblies

course B2 A8 here is learn NX with the topic  cutting through bodies and assemblies this   video shows how you can use the clip section  command to cut through components in assemblies   at any position and retrievable at  any time off we go create sections   to create a section through a body or assembly  it is sufficient to First click on Clips section   in the view Tab and then on edit section  a section plane is displayed immediately   the absolute orientation of the  plane can be an x y and C Direction other alignments can be made with the manipulator to move the section plane simply drag  the corresponding Arrowhead with the   left Mouse button pressed or move one of  the three spheres to pan the section plane after a left-click on the arrows or the Spheres  concrete relocations are of course also possible   and with a click on X Y or Z the section  plane is absolutely aligned again the ball in the center can be repositioned  according to the activated snap points after clicking on plane dialog the section  plane can be aligned like a normal datum plane   note to select edges or points in an assembly  you must change the selection to entire assembly in addition the plane can then  be moved using the offset slider name and select sections to create and save multiple sections a  name should be assigned under Section name in the assembly Navigator the sections  are listed if this check mark is set and here or here further sections can be created display with a double-click the  two sections can now be displayed and with a click on the check box  the section curves are also displayed and here too they can be activated for editing the display of the cut surface  is controlled in cap settings   which show cap you activate  the display of the cut surface the color corresponds to the body color or is set via this box which show interference areas where bodies  overlap can be marked in a different color intersection curves one level down the  display of the intersection curves is set if the intersection plane is moved  in complex assemblies The Continuous   calculation of the intersection curves  leads to a correspondingly slow movement   here it helps to deactivate the continuous update the color of the curves is set here of course you can also save the intersection curves as  non-associative curves for example on layer 111 in the part Navigator a correspondingly named  curve group is created for each component for example you can quickly create a first  design in 3D using the intersection curves   this would be unparametric but to quickly  present something it is quite a possible way   a short test set the cut to unclip hide the parts start the Extrusion set the selection to groups select group Bush and extrude the curves can also be deleted  again via the part Navigator the 2D curves can also be  displayed in a separate window   thus a basis for discussion can be created quickly  with the help of a screenshot sent by email multiple section planes under Section series  settings you can also create multiple section   layers at the same time after clicking on  preview series the sections are created   admittedly the slider is not exactly  ideally suited here but you can still   see the result very well in the case  of turbine blades or Wing profiles the   curvatures of the corresponding sections  could be displayed quickly in this way if number of section is set to one again only  one plane is displayed this is a good keyword up here you can also display two section planes   by clicking on the edge of a section plane  you can activate it and then modify it also you can display a box and thus  six section planes which plane is   activated with a click on the border and  so the view can be restricted to an area work around snapping off sections  but snapping off sections is also   desired in some cases is not possible even  with the Box here I would like to show a   workaround simply create a body in the main  assembly for example with the extrude command then start the assembly cut command select the bodies to be cut and in The Next Step select the tool body the command does not change  the selected components   it creates associative copies in the active  assembly and subtracts the tool body here   if a sub-assembly is displayed  in a window it is unchanged   components that were fully contained in the tool  body are not cut and must be hidden afterwards   section plane with grid one last thing in  the context of large main assemblies such   as Automotive it is helpful to see the position in  the context of a grid under display settings you   can activate the display with show grid and change  the grid of the plane with edit grid settings and with the slice setting the section  plane is displayed without background   quasis like a tissue sample a way to Simply  hide any distracting Parts in the background   support us with your subscription  if you like this video [Music]
