Definition of Direct Modeling
Modification at any moment in time without regard for
how and where the model was constructed

Workflows
Ø Initial concept design
Ø End of cycle companion
to feature modeling
Ø Modification & reuse* of
geometry in a multi-CAD
environment
Ø Comprehensive design
change within any
workflow
End of cycle companion to feature modeling
* = Reuse of JT w/XT B-REP, CATIA, Pro/E, SolidWorks, OSD data

2. Geometric condition commands
Applies geometric conditions to geometry
ØMake coaxial
ØMake coplanar
ØMake tangent
ØMake parallel
ØMake perpendicular
ØMake symmetric

3. Dimensions
Applies a dimension to change the model
Ø Linear
Ø Angular
Ø Radial

4. Reuse
Ø Design change involves more than changing numbers
Ø Sometimes you need to take it apart, change it, and put it back
together without regard for how the model was constructed
Page 19

4. Reuse continued
Ø Functional design change with or without
features
Ø Reuse of faces
Ø Copy Face: copy face set (scrap) for reuse
Ø “Add” and “subtract” attributes on scrap for
subsequent paste
Ø Cut Face: copy, delete original, and heal
Ø Paste Face: attach scrap to body
Ø Extension of faces based on “add” and “subtract”
attributes
Ø Mirror Face: combination of copy and paste
Ø Copy to clipboard: copy face set as non-
associative sheet body, then paste from
clipboard

5. Direct Modeling Mode
Ø A mode of working with NX where
linear history does not accumulate
Ø No replay
Ø No Edit with Rollback
Ø Extrude just adds a body
Ø Blend just modifies a body
Ø A curve is just a curve
Ø Design change with direct modeling
command set

Procedural Features
Ø History-free does not mean feature-
free
Ø Feature behavior is desirable even in
absence of history
Ø Edit properties via dialog – “edit
like create”
Ø Change location via direct
modeling
ØHole, Thread Edge Blend, Chamfer
Ø A procedural feature is always a leaf

6. Direct shelling
Ø Shell behavior without a shell feature
Ø Walls are maintained during DMX commands
Ø Move Face, Offset Region, Make Coplanar,
etc
Ø Explicit command set
Ø Shell Body: performs the initial shell
Ø Shell Face: adds faces to an existing shell
Ø Change Shell Thickness

7. Edit section
Ø Intersect model with plane
Ø Intersection is bi-directional with model
Ø Edit curves to change the model
Ø Exclusive to no-history mode
