Setup to migrate FE models

You only need to perform these steps once to set up NX to migrate FE models from I-deas model files. Install CMM To migrate FE models from I-deas model files, you must first install CMM. Define system environmental variables Check that the following system variables are set. These are the only two variables that you need. They may already be defined by the CMM installation.

• UGII_INOP_IDEAS_GATEWAY_DIR Set this variable to the directory IdeasGateway/ideas. This directory is created during the CMM installation.
• UGII_MIG_USE_FEM_NATIVE Set this variable to the value “1” before running NX. This will display the required menus in NX to migrate FE models from I-deas model files. Other variables that have been used with CMM Native in the past are no longer documented or supported. Set CMM Native options in NX

Start NX. 2. Choose Tools →Content Migration Manger – Native. 3. If there is more than one tab, click the FEM Model File tab. 4. In the Content Migration Manager – Native dialog box, click Configuration Options . 5. On the Services tab, in the I-deas Parameter File Directory box, enter or browse to the IdeasGateway/cmm folder. This folder contains the ideas_paramxx.dat file from the CMM installation. This folder is not the location of the param file for your existing I-deas TDM installation. Migrating I-deas CAE data
