Reusable Pocket Reusable Pocket can be effectively used
Reusable Pocket Re-usable Pocket can be effectively used in Modeling as a substitute of FALSE BODY concept in NX Tooling. This feature helps in automating CREATION OF POCKETS for standard parts as Bolts , Pins etc. in the main assembly
Creation of model and false body Main Body Here the body is modeled first and then the pocket (FALSE BODY) is created (here represented with a transparency). False Body
Creation of separate Reference Set for False body Reference set FALSE contains the pocket (False body) Take out the FALSE BODY from the MODEL reference set
Multiple instances of the Component called within the Main assembly
Change the reference set of the component to FALSE
Define Re-usable Pocket
Define Re-usable Pocket (CONT. )
Change the reference set of the components back to MODEL and check the pockets created.
If you need to suppress the RE-USABLE pockets Go back to REUSABLE POCKETS and select all the components (you can do selective suppression also) then tick-off the check box
Result (only two pockets get suppressed)
Difference between Assembly cut and Re-usable pocket Assembly cut appears as a feature in the Part navigator History of the main assembly but this is not a case with Re-usable pockets. In case of re-usable pocket it appears in the part navigator history of the component in which the pocket has been made.
