Python script NX2RAD for NX / Simcenter that made a mesh for the SUBSET and the GROUPS of a .fem model.

Dear All,
first of all, thanks to Openradioss team.

I have made, with support of the AI, a Python script for export a mesh with the subset and the groups from a .fem model inside NX / Simcenter. The script iterate on the NX groups in order to create the Subset and the groups of elements and nodes. The number of the groups and the subset in the OpenRADIOSS are the same and it's made with the following Python function abs(hash(group_name). The final result is similar to the export made by GMSH but the file create will have an .inc extension.
Used with the script https://github.com/theScriptingEngineer/NXOpen-CAE-python/blob/master/pre_processing/add_related_nodes_and_elements.py it's possible to create parametric model with the powerfull of NX tool.
Before this script my workaroud was from NX to GSMH with an .unv file but the number of the subset / groups was always different, this was a problem and the alignement was handmade.

The script, for sure it's not perfect because i'm not a developper.
I hope that this script will help and with the support of the community will be improved.

NX is not opensourced. :-)

Hi, this is a great initiative. Thank you very much for your contribution!
Some NX users may try your script and share feedbacks soon, hopefully!
Kind Regards,
Eric

I already put this script KIV, just in case I can use NX in the future

[andprad74]

Yes, but probably in the next future NX will support again Radioss because, probably, it will be integrate in the NX Nastran solver with the solution 701 or something like that.
In any case thanks a lot to you , Eric and QiangF.
