Does NX 7.5/8 has any toolbox (e.g to gears and pinion) like in solidworks?

By Davin on 27 Jun 06:18 8 answers 3309 views 8 comments

I rarely use solidworks since I'm used to NX. However, one of my previous assignment needed me to draw a gear, and from what I heard solidworks has a toolbox where you only need to put in several info like pitch diameter etc. and it will generate a gear. In the case of NX, I drew the gear from scratch, not to mention several small angles that I've omitted...I've uploaded a sample I drew from NX 7.5...

Please do advise.

    extract this,there are two folders "gear GRIP" containing grip file with .grx extention

    other folder is "gear user function" containing nx open files

    you can use either to make spur gears

    in new model. File menu>execute>grip or nx open (navigate to extracted folder) and ok

    input the values of gear you want and its done

    i think your gear's pressure angle is 10,then use .grx file

    for helical gear try using .exp file

    there is gear modeling application in nx itself,it requires changing custom_dirs.dat file to appear under tools menu (which i am not able to set) setting environment variables of windows

    you can make any gear with it, internal,external,spur,helical,bevel.

    That script is really old and slow and creates a part much more complex than needed. NX should add a modern version of it.
    They should also add a equation surfer plotter button.

    There are some addons such as Kisssoft
