    The document describes the groove feature in NX, which creates a groove in a solid body similar to a turning operation. It can create rectangular, ball-end, or U-shaped grooves on cylindrical or conical faces by selecting the placement face and specifying parameters like diameter, width, and corner radius. Positioning involves selecting the target and tool edges to define the distance between them.

    The document discusses how to create different types of grooves in NX including rectangular, ball-end, and u-grooves. It provides details on the steps to create a groove and the parameters required for each groove type.

    The three types of grooves that can be created are rectangular, ball-end, and u-groove.

    The steps to create a groove are to select the groove type, select the placement face, enter parameter values, select the target edge, select the tool edge or centerline, enter the horizontal distance, and use the positioning dialog.

    Groove
    This option lets you create a groove in a solid body, as if a form tool moved inward (from an external placement face) or outward (from an internal placement face) on a rotating part, as with a turning operation. You can create the following types of grooves: Rectangular A groove that leaves sharp corners all around. A groove that leaves a full radius at the bottom. Ball-End U-Groove A groove that leaves radii in the corners. Common Concepts Groove operates only on cylindrical or conical faces. The axis of rotation is the axis of the selected face. The groove is created near the location where the face is selected (the pick point) and is automatically linked to the selected face. You can choose an external or internal face as the groove placement face, as shown in the figure below. The profile of the groove is symmetric about a plane passing through the pick point and perpendicular to the axis of rotation, as shown in the figure below.

    Positioning a groove works somewhat differently than other form features. You only have to position the groove in one direction, i.e., along the axis of the target solid. No positioning dimension menu appears. You position the groove by selecting a target solid edge and then the tool (that is, the groove) edge or centerline. See the figure below for an illustration.

    Create a groove
    1. Choose the type of groove you wish to create (Rectangular, Ball-End, or U-Groove). 2. Select the cylindrical or conical placement face. 3. Enter the parameter values in the dialog and choose OK. A groove "tool" is temporarily displayed as a disc. This shape will be subtracted from the target solid. 4. Select the target edge (on the target solid). Note Instead of selecting a target edge, you can choose OK; the groove will stay in its initial location. 5. Select the tool edge or centerline (on the groove tool). 6. Enter the desired horizontal distance between the selected edges and choose OK. 7. Use the Positioning dialog to precisely locate the groove.

    Groove options
    Groove options Rectangular This option lets you create a groove that leaves sharp corners all around.

    You must specify the following parameters: Diameter The inner diameter of the groove, if you are creating an external groove, or the outer diameter if you are creating an internal groove. Width The width of the groove, measured along the axis of the selected face. This option lets you create a groove that leaves a full radius at the bottom.

    Ball-End

    You must specify the following parameters: Diameter

    Groove

    The inner diameter of the groove, if you are creating an external groove, or the outer diameter if you are creating an internal groove. Ball Diameter The width of the groove. This option lets you create a groove that leaves radii in the corners.

    U-Groove

    You must specify the following parameters: Diameter The inner diameter of the groove, if you are creating an external groove, or the outer diameter if you are creating an internal groove. Width The width of the groove, measured along the axis of the selected face. Corner Radius The internal blend radius of the groove.
