The Bounding Body command is used to create a bounding box around selected geometry. Here's a detailed explanation of the command and its usage:
Command:
Bounding Body
Description:
The Bounding Body command creates a box-shaped solid that encloses selected geometry. This box serves as a reference volume for various purposes, such as dimensioning, analysis, or visualization.
Steps to Use:
1. **Activate the Bounding Body Command**:
- In NX CAD, go to the "Insert" tab or menu.
- Select "Bounding Body" from the dropdown or toolbar.
2. **Select Geometry**:
- Click on the geometry or components that you want to enclose within the bounding box.
- You can select multiple components or faces to be included in the bounding box.
3. **Adjust Bounding Box Parameters**:
- Once geometry is selected, the Bounding Body dialog box may appear, allowing you to adjust parameters such as size, position, and orientation of the bounding box.
- You can typically specify dimensions directly or interactively adjust the size and shape of the bounding box using handles or controls in the graphics window.
4. **Confirm and Create**:
- After adjusting parameters, confirm your selections and preferences.
- Click "OK" or a similar confirmation button to create the bounding box.
5. **Finalize and Use**:
- Once created, the bounding box appears as a solid object in the graphics window, enclosing the selected geometry.
- You can use this bounding box for various purposes within your CAD model, such as referencing for dimensioning, positioning, or analysis.
Usage:
- **Dimensioning**: Bounding boxes provide reference dimensions for design and documentation purposes.
- **Analysis Preparation**: They can be used as simplified representations for analysis simulations or as reference volumes for clearance checks.
- **Visualization**: Bounding boxes help visualize the spatial extent of selected geometry, especially in complex assemblies.
- **Positioning and Alignment**: They aid in aligning or positioning components within an assembly or workspace.
Example:
1. Activate the Bounding Body command.
2. Select the geometry or components to enclose.
3. Adjust the bounding box parameters, such as size and orientation.
4. Confirm and create the bounding box.
5. Use the bounding box for dimensioning, analysis, or visualization purposes within your CAD model.
The Bounding Body command in NX CAD is a versatile tool for creating reference volumes around selected geometry, facilitating various design, analysis, and visualization tasks.
