14. Name a feature that can both add and remove material?
Answer: Rounds and chamfers are the features which can both add or remove the material.
15. When do feature relation evaluate?

Answer: When the feature regenerates.
16. What is a constraint relation in pro/engineer?

Answer: A constraint relation is used to put limits on parameters (usually dimensions) based
design intent and/or manufacturing limitations.
17. Why should you comment relations?

Answer: You should comment relations so that other users can understand what you are trying
to accomplish with the relations.
18. Can you add motion to a part in pro/engineer?

Answer: Yes.
19. How do you add a model parameter in a drawing note?

Answer: Use ampersand and then the parameter name (&material).
20. Name the four types of tolerance formats available in pro/engineer?

Answer: Nominal (no tolerance shown), plus/minus, plus/minus symmetric, limits.
21. Which of the tolerance formats should you not use?

Answer: Plus/minus (because manufacturing people want the model at the mean size not the
nominal size).
22. Can the units of a part be changed without changing the size of the part?
Answer: Yes.

Manufacturing. The idea of a virtual assembly taken to its logical conclusion leads to
Master Model paradigm. If you change anything in Master Model, it will reflect in all other
applications.
3. How to convert a file created in mm to inches (conversion of units) in UG NX?

Answer: We can convert a file created in mm to inches by using UG command prompt.
Ug_convert_part (space) -in (space) 1234.prt
Note: Save your file where command prompt showing location; Example:
Example:-
C:/users/username
4. What is Promote body?
Answer: When you have an assembly that is work part, this option lets you promote a body from
a loaded assembly component to the level of the assembly. The promote body remains
associative to the original body, which is referred to as the base body.
5. What is Extract Body?

Answer: This option create an associate copy of an entire body in part file. Features can then be
added to Extract Body feature without appearing on the original body. You can also decide
whether you want he Extract Body feature to update when tthe
he original body is changed.
6. What are Part families?

Answer: This option let you create a family of parts by creating a template part. You can use the
Unigraphics spread sheet (via the Create button on the Part Families dialog) to create a
table describingg the various part family members.
7. What is direct modeling or synchronous modeling?
Answer: Direct modeling techniques represents extended capabilities for some of the more basic
Unigraphics functions. Among these are face oriented operations, constraint based methods,
blend regeneration and independence of feature history. You can use Direct mo modeling
functions on models that have been imported from other CAD systems and are non non-
parametric.

8. What do you mean by Expressions?

Answer: Expressions are mathematical or conditional equations used to control the parameters of
a model. With expressions, you can easily apply major edits to a model. By changing the
expressions that control a specific parameter, you can re
re-size
size or re-position
re features of a
solid model.
Three types of Expressions are there

 Arithmetic Expressions
 Conditional Expressions
 Geometric Expressions
9. What is the limit for Undo?
Answer: We can use Undo for 222 times or until up to last time saved.
10. How many colours in are there in UG?

Answer: There are 216 colors in UG.
11. How many Layers are there in UG NX?

Answer: There are 256 Layers in UG.
12. What do you meant by Weight Management?
Answer: The Weight management option allow us to calculate and control the weight and other
mass properties of parts, components and assemblies based on the solid bodies they contain.
13. What do you mean by Knowledge Fusion?
Answer: The Uni-graphics

graphics NX Knowledge Fusion application provides a graphical user interface
that allows us apply engin
engineering
eering knowledge driven rules and design intent to geometric
models and assemblies in Unigraphics.
14. What are the different types of modeling?

Answer: There are four types of modeling.
 Solid Modeling
 Feature Based Modeling
 Free Form Modeling
 Sheet Metal Feature Modeling
15. What is Para solid?

Answer: Para solid is form of translator which is used to open the higher version Unigraphics part
files to in lower version of Unigraphics. For example we can open the NX10.0 version part
files in NX7.5.

16. What is Datum Plane? Why it is used?

Answer: Datum Plane is reference feature that can be used to as construction tool in building the
model.
17. What is Datum Axis?

Answer: Datum Axis, which is a reference object you can use to create other objects, such as
Datum planes, revolved features, and extruded bodies. Datum Axis can be either relative or
fixed.
18. What is constraint?

Answer: Constraints limit structural movement and rrepresent
epresent mounts and supports. Constraints
can be applied to faces or edges. (Restricting the degree of freedom)
19. How many types of constraints are there?

Answer: There are two types of constraints.
 Geometrical constraints
 Dimension constraints
20. What is the expansion of IGES, STEP, and DXF?

Answer:
 IGES – Initial Graphic Exchanges Specifications.
 STEP – Standard For The Exchange of Product Model Data
 DXF – Data Exchange Format
21. What is the difference between Rotational WCS & Dynamic WCS?
Answer: In Rotational WCS we can give the angle by which the WCS need to rotate by typing it
in the space provided, while in Dynamic WCS we can dynamically rotate the WCS and
give the angle.
22. How many types of geometrical constrains are there in Unigraphics NX?
Answer: There are 22 types of Geometrical constrains in Unigraphics NX.
23. In which command do you find strings, apex string, and spline string?
Answer: We find these options in section command of free form feature.
24. Where do you find bounded plane command?

Answer: We find the Bounded plane command in Insert –> Surface –>
> Bounded Plane.
