nx

NX is a next-generation digital product development system that helps companies transform the product lifecycle. With the industry's broadest suite of integrated, fully associative CAD/CAM/CAE applications, NX touches the full range of development processes in product design, manufacturing and simulation.

CAD

NX delivers next-generation design tools and technologies that help companies transform product development. Leading-edge design tools work in the context of the total development effort, fully integrating design with the other disciplines that bring products to market in a unified, managed environment.

NX design tools are superior in power, versatility, flexibility and productivity. From innovative Synchronous Technology that unites parametric and history-free modeling to NX Active Mockup for multi-CAD assembly design, NX delivers breakthrough technology that set new standards for speed, performance, and ease of use.

    Industrial Design & Styling
    NX offers a complete set of flexible shape creation, manipulation, and analysis tools, and is an integrated part of a complete digital product development solution. The combined powers of NX's creation and editing tools ensures the most complex of shapes can be created quickly, with ease and with the adaptability to change. Designers have all the tools they need to explore shape and style, while ensuring a seamless transition into engineering, simulation and manufacturing. NX is an all-in-one tool that directly uses concept data throughout every aspect of the product development process.

    Package Design
    With NX, you're not limited to how you create; powerful geometry creation and editing tools ensure that the most complex shapes can be created quickly, with ease and with adaptability to change. NX yields high-quality surfaces that are totally usable throughout the complete product development process. With NX, designers can continuously visualize all aspects of the package in real time, and even collaborate on the new package securely and globally with others inside and outside the company.

    Mechanical Design
    A comprehensive mechanical design solution, NX lets you choose the tools and methodologies that best suit your design challenge, and work directly with design data from other CAD systems. A unique assembly design and mockup environment, process-specific design aids, drafting and 3D annotation help you work significantly faster than you would with general-purpose CAD tools.

    NX automates and simplifies design by leveraging the product and process knowledge that companies gain from experience and from industry best practices.

    Electromechanical Systems Design
    NX is an integrated digital product development solution that streamlines electromechanical systems design. With two-way exchange of data, NX brings together mechanical and electrical designers, enabling each discipline to work with its own design systems while dynamically linking their efforts in the product lifecycle.

    NX automatically creates 3D models of printed circuit boards - including flexible PCBs - from ECAD systems data for use in mechanical packaging design. Assembly design tools enable virtual prototyping with electronic, mechanical, and electrical components in their full product context, with associative control structures that simplify product variants and new configurations.

    Rules-based routing tools in NX automate the creation of wiring paths and connections from logical designs, with connection list management, access to libraries of standard electrical connectors and components, automated bundle size calculations for space allocation and interference checking, and documentation for wire harness manufacturing.

CAM

Advanced technology in NX tooling solutions automates and accelerates the development of molds, dies, and fixtures for higher quality, lower cost and faster turnaround. For machining, NX delivers the range and depth of CAM performance that maximizes returns on investments in advanced machine tools. Linked with proven data and process controls, NX helps companies manage information to improve productivity and collaboration in manufacturing operations.

    Tooling and Fixture Design
    NX offers a powerful set of automated applications for mold and die design, fixture design and other processes that support product manufacturing. These applications enable the complete task of moving from part design to finished tool in far less time than with the use of traditional CAD applications. Tooling and fixture design in NX is driven by the knowledge of experienced designers built into the commands and functions. The applications guide the user through each step of the process, multiplying the capability and maximizing the productivity of every tool designer.

    Machining
    As a fully integrated solution set, NX machining products include full assembly modeling of the machining environment and advanced feature-base automation capabilities as well as machine tool simulation and post processing. Siemens is also a proven manufacturer of shop floor technology including machine tool controllers. Close connection with controller technology helps us deliver a CAM system that provides optimized output for performance, efficiency and product quality and eventually produces the best results at the machine tool.

CAE

The keys to maximizing the value of simulation applications are to use them both as early as possible and then throughout the development process. To this end, Siemens PLM Software offers a comprehensive suite of Digital Lifecycle Simulation solutions designed to meet the needs of multiple users within any engineering enterprise.

    Mechanical Simulation
    NX Digital Lifecycle Simulation solutions enable companies to overcome these hurdles and leverage simulation throughout the product lifecycle. NX has best-in-class technologies to prepare geometry for analysis, which reduce overall model building times by up to 70%. Efficiently solving large simulation models is a priority with NX Nastran and the integrated flow and thermal solvers. New capabilities such as co-simulation of motion and controls, test correlation, and finite element analysis of assemblies allow engineers to better understand system effects early in the development process.
