Off the top of my head, but a simplified example: If designer A creates a part, 'thingy', based off a wave link of 'widget'. Later, Designer B modifies 'widget", not knowing it is used by 'thingy'....
View ArticleRe: NX and duplicate file names
You should not have 2 (or more) different parts that use the same base file name, this will eventually cause problems.

Your example is the perfect illustration of what is wrong with breaking WAVE links. Is designer modifies the part 'widget' then 'thingy' is ACTUALLY needs to be modified to reflect the fact it is based...

That depends if the two parts with the same name contain the same data!For example if MainComponent.prt in SmallMachine is different to MainComponent.prt in BiggerMachine you're screwed.And if they are...

The assembly will be fine, based on the load options. If load options are "as saved" you should be ok. If someone uses "search directories", the first found instance of "maincomponent.prt" will be...

"That depends if the two parts with the same name contain the same data!" I consider duplicate parts to be an issue. What happens is eventually one gets changed and the other does not; now you are left...

I agree with others:- having 2 different files with the same name but different data is NOT "best practice"- having mutiple copies of the same file in different places is also not "best practice" Both...

If I see it correctly the meshes are not connected at the edges of the sheets. You can use stitch to connect them. - Jelle

Everything seems to be stitched, there are no duplicate nodes. Anyway I tried to stich once again and recalculate. Nothing changed.

Agreed, if you're using TC, and have the time, and budget to fully implement it with all the right rules, that would be the way to go. Running native, I've found it easier to break the links, than to...
