In today's QuickTip we are going to see how to create an associative or non-associative link between geometries in an assembly component.
After seeing this QuickTip you will be able to create a - Wave - with the NX utility.
NX CAD/CAM Quicktip : Create a smart link between components
How to be more efficient when creating interdependents elements
Emmanuel HIARD | What is a "wave" ?
The concept of the wave is to be able to copy an element, such as a body, a face, a sketch, a plan, etc., in an associative way or not.
By default, the copied item becomes the child of the original item that is the parent, then you just created a wave.
1- Activate the component
In the assembly browser, click on the component in which you will create your -wave-.
2- Create your wave
Click on the icon - Wave geometry linker -
Select the type of element to use, which will be copied.

The expert's advice !
It is possible, with some primitives, to create the wave link directly in the operation.
- To do this, choose as a selection intention, - All assembly-.
- Click on the icon -Create an inter-part link-.
This function automates the creation of your wave, you will be faster !
