Siemens NX software

NX design tools are powerful and versatile allowing you to work faster and efficiently across the full range of design tasks, from 2-D layout to 3-D modeling, assembly design drafting and documentation. It synchronous technology, allows you to directly use models created with other CAD systems, importing and modifying CAD geometry from any source with speed and ease.

Advanced 2-D layout capability allows you to quickly capture, explore, and iterate designs concepts in 2-D, while the freeform shaping capabilities allow you to create complex freeform models with ease. Simplified workflows allow efficient drafting and 3-D annotation with product and manufacturing information (PMI). Rendering and visualization tools deliver all the capabilities of edicated industrial design tools.

Assembly design tools can handle the most complex product designs with thousands of parts. You can monitor your designs for compliance with company and industry standards, and more easily create designs that meet customer requirements.

By improving design productivity and throughput, NX can help your engineering teams develop more products with fewer resources, reducing delivery cycle time by up to 35 percent.

NX CAE integrates best-in-class finite element analysis modeling with simulation solutions for structural, thermal, flow, motion, multi-physics, and optimization into a single environment. It seamlessly integrates simulation data management into an analyst’s workflow and allows easy collaboration between analysts and designers, significantly shortening design-analysis iterations.

NX CAE can reduce the time engineers spend preparing simulation models by up to 70 percent. It delivers all the advanced meshing, boundary conditions, and solver interfaces needed to perform high-end analysis. Analysis models are associated with design geometry to allow rapid updates. Finite element assemblies can be efficiently built and managed through a unique multi-level approach.

Parallel processing speeds solution time and NX CAE also supports third party solvers such as Abaqus, ANSYS, MSC Nastran and LS-Dyna so you can leverage existing simulation investments. It integrates seamlessly with the simulation process management module of Teamcenter, reducing wasted time by promoting re-use of existing designs and engineering knowledge as well as capturing and automating repetitive simulation processes.

NX CAM provides a wide range of functionality from simple NC programming to 5-axis machining, enabling NC programmers to perform many diverse tasks using a single system. This allows you to significantly reduce NC programming and machining time, produce better quality parts, and maximize use of manufacturing resources.

Feature-based machining (FBM) reduces programming time by as much as 90 percent while templates enable you to apply pre-defined, rules-driven processes to standardize and speed programming tasks. Tightly integrated postprocessing easily generates the required NC code for almost any type of machine toll and controller configuration. Simulation and verification tools check tool paths and material removal within the NC programming session.

Integration with the advanced CAD tools available in the NX suite allows you to do everything from modeling new parts, to preparing parts models for CAM, to creating setup drawings directly from 3D model data. NX CAM’s master model concept links all functions, such as CAM and CMM, back a single model definition which means that the NC programmer can start programming a part before the designer is finished, further increasing productivity.
