I just learned my FEA group takes models and saves them out to then modify by removing small features like small radius and drill points in drilled holes for FEA programs and reducing mesh complexity. My thought was to have simplified reps that by rules removed those features and they could open and use the production model but simplified, but simp reps in parts seems to not have rules capabilities and needs to add features to exclude manually. Would like a start part with an auto-updating rep for FEA so that designer doesn't have to think about removing features or FEA group reworking models
I noticed when creating a NPT hole, there's not an option to drill thru the material. It defaults to a tapered length. For example, I'm drilling a 1-11.5 NPT hole in a 1 inch aluminum plate. The note generated is "1-11.5 NPT-H Tapered ↆ 16.787, 1-9/64 Drill (28.981) ↆ 25.4 -(1) HOLE". The depth of the threads do not go thru the part. Can I changed the depth of 16.787 to 25.4? Thanks for the video!
There have been a lot of hole and hole note enhancements since then. That version is almost 4 years old. It's past end of life. Tell your company to upgrade. They should be on 7.0 at a minimum.
I don’t understand your question. But if you’re talking about the Hole Table functionality, don’t use it. It’s broken (has been for years) and PTC is working on it.
