UGS NX

NX

UGS/Siemens NX 8.0 CAD/CAE package is available in /usr/local on the Linux machines and on the Windows workstations

You can launch it from portal0 as follows:

 vglconnect -s viz001 #or one of the other graphics machiens
 /usr/local/nx/ugs080/run.sh

You can launch the documentation by opening /usr/local/nx/ugs080/ugdoc/html_files/nx_help/index.html in your favorite web browser. It is known to display correctly in Iceweasel but not the current version of Google Chrome

 iceweasel file:///usr/local/nx/ugs080/ugdoc/html_files/nx_help/index.html

Installers are also available for personal machines. Please email Ben and/or Ken for instructions.

Windows Troubleshooting

If you get an error about License Bundles on the Windows machines, you need to open the NX "License Options" from the programs menu and select the current license bundles (if you follow the directions in the error message the settings won't persist). Feel free to follow along with this [video] (note that the available bundles may change over time, just choose the two that you're offered).

CAST

The NX CAST tutorial library for version 8.0 is also installed. You can launch it in Iceweasel as with the main documentation:

 iceweasel file:///usr/local/nx/cast080/html/index.html

NASTRAN

NASTRAN is available on the Windows desktop in the lab. If you need it somewhere else, email Ben
