In NX their are four files
4.Simulation Part
3. Fem Part
2. Idealize Part
1. Master Part
The part file contains the master part or an assembly,
and the unmodified part geometry.
The idealized part file contains modifications to master
part geometry to make it suitable for analysis.
Nodes, elements, and physical and material properties
are stored with the FEM file.
Boundary conditions and solutions are stored with the
Simulation file.
