Preface of UG NX 8.0 Chinese Version Complete Study Manual

UG (Unigraphics) is Siemens UGS PLM software development of CAD/CAM/CAE integration of integrated software, bringing together the United States aerospace and automotive industry expertise. At present, UG in the aerospace, automotive, general machinery, industrial equipment, medical equipment and other high-tech applications in the field of mechanical design and mold processing automation market has been widely used. UG NX 8.0 is currently the latest version of the UG company launched the latest version of the previous version of the previous version of the company, in the performance of a certain degree of improvement, to overcome some of the previous version of the unsatisfactory places. In addition, UG NX 8.0 and the previous version, compared to the new HD3D, gear design module and synchronous modeling technology enhancements, innovative, open fast, accurate visualization and analysis solutions, to further consolidate NX with breakthrough synchronous modeling technology to establish a leading position. UG NX 8.0 into the various industries need to be used in a variety of modules covering product design, engineering and manufacturing, structural analysis, motion simulation, etc., for the product design, engineering and manufacturing, structural analysis and simulation. UG NX 8.0 integrates various modules required by various industries, covering product design, engineering and manufacturing, structural analysis, motion simulation, etc. It provides a digital platform for the whole process of product development to production, through which engineers can make many tedious things convenient and fast, and greatly shorten the development cycle compared with the traditional R&D process.

This book mainly introduces UG NX 8.0 curve function, sketching function, solid modeling, surface creation, engineering drawing, assembly function, sheet metal function, mold function, and finally also introduces the creation of complex models and assembly, complex sheet metal parts and surface modeling creation method with complex examples.

The book is divided into two major parts, ****14 chapters, from shallow to deep, interlocking, the main content is arranged as follows.

The first part is the basic chapter.

Chapter 1 introduces the basic module classification of UG NX 8.0, and introduces the characteristics of the UG NX software, the basic operation of UG NX and the work environment userization method.

Chapter 2 introduces the commands contained in each menu of UG NX, which provides a good foundation for future learning.

Chapter 3 introduces UG NX's Point Constructor, Vector Constructor, Datum Plane, Datum CSYS, Point Snapping Function and Positioning Function.

Chapter 4 introduces each command in the basic curve, such as points, straight lines, etc. It also introduces the method of creating feature curves, the method of curve manipulation and the method of editing curves.

Chapter 5 describes how to create sketches, how to constrain sketches, and how to manipulate sketches.

Chapter 6 describes the creation of datum and basic features, the creation of scanning features, the use of detailed features, and feature manipulation.

Chapter 7 introduces the basic concepts of assembly, terminology, the assembly navigator, the assembly toolbar, pairing conditions for assembly, and bottom-up and top-down assembly methods.

Chapter 8 describes engineering drawing parameters and presets, drawing manipulation, view manipulation, and dimensioning.

Chapter 9 introduces the basic concepts of surface design, free-form surface creation, and free-form surface editing.

Chapter 10 introduces the basic concepts of sheet metal design, creation of various design features for sheet metal.

Chapter 11 introduces the basic concepts of the Mold Wizard, the use of the Mold Wizard menus, and the general process of creating a product mold.

The second part of the comprehensive design examples.

Chapter 12 introduces the creation of motorcycle engine parts and assembly methods.

Chapter 13 introduces the creation of complex sheet metal parts through the creation of computer chassis side panels.

Chapter 14 introduces the modeling method of complex surfaces through the creation of an oil drum.

For the convenience of readers, the accompanying CD-ROM includes the original files and operation videos of all the example models appearing in the book for readers' practice and reference.

This book is edited by Wen Zheng and Zhang Xiaoyong, with chapters 1-2 written by Yu Zhiwei and Liu Xiaowei, chapters 3-8 by Wen Zheng, He Jiayang, Tang Jiapeng, and Wu Yongfu, chapters 9-11 by Deng Xiujuan, Ma Xiaofeng, and Zhang Xiangdong, and chapters 12-14 by Zhang Xiaoyong, Ding Jinbin, Lian Jie, Zheng Spectrum, Li Ming, and Zhang Qiaoling.

While the authors in the preparation process strive to describe the accurate and perfect, but due to the limited level, coupled with the time constraints, there are inevitably inappropriate or omissions in the book, and I urge readers to give criticism and correction.
