NX, formerly known as NX Unigraphics or usually just UG, is an
advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE software package originally developed by Unigraphics, but since 2007 by Siemens PLM Software. It is used, among other tasks, for: • Design (parametric and direct solid/surface modeling) • Engineering analysis (static; dynamic; electro-magnetic; thermal, using the finite element method; and fluid, using the finite volume method). • Manufacturing finished design by using included machining modules. • NX is a direct competitor to TopSolid, CATIA, Creo, Autodesk Inventor, and SolidWorks. Key functions • Computer-aided design (CAD) (Design) • Parametric solid modeling (feature-based and direct modeling) • Freeform surface modeling, class A surfaces. • Reverse engineering • Styling and computer-aided industrial design • Engineering drawing (Drafting) • Product and manufacturing information (PMI) • Reporting and analytics, verification and validation • Knowledge reuse, including knowledge-based engineering • Sheet metal design • Assembly modeling and digital mockup • Routing for electrical wiring and mechanical piping • Computer-aided engineering (CAE) (Simulation) • Stress analysis / finite element method (FEM) • Kinematics • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal analysis • Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) (Manufacturing) • Numerical control (NC) programming NX for Design: Advantages and Benefits
Advanced Design Solutions Drive Smarter Decisions
• NX for Design is an integrated solution that helps you develop innovative new products. With leading-edge design tools and technologies, NX streamlines and accelerates the product development process. Unlike CAD-only solutions and closed enterprise solutions, NX delivers the highest integration between development disciplines in an open, collaborative environment. Design Advantages Fast, Flexible, Efficient Product Design • NX design tools are superior in power, versatility and productivity. You can work faster and more efficiently in the full range of design tasks, from 2D layout through 3D modeling, assembly design, drafting and documentation. Work Seamlessly with Data from Other CAD Systems • With synchronous technology, NX allows you to directly use models created with other CAD systems. You can import and modify CAD geometry from any source with speed, ease and efficiency. NX is the solution of choice for multi-CAD, collaborative design. Design Advantages Power and Capacity for Complex Products • NX assembly design tools are ready for the most complex assemblies, even those with thousands of parts. You can create full multi-CAD digital mockups with NX to quickly identify issues and resolve problems. Integrated Design Validation • To help you fulfill customer and engineering requirements, NX offers integrated, automated design validation capabilities. You can continuously monitor your designs for compliance with company and industry standards, and more easily produce designs that achieve your goals and customer requirements. Visual Analytics Improve Decision-Making • With NX visual reporting and analytics, you can instantly gather product and process information and visualize its impact in the context of the 3D design. Visual synthesis of PLM data accelerates the design process and improves decision-making. Design Benefits Reduce Development Time by More than 30 Percent • With breakthrough technologies, efficient interaction and streamlined workflows, NX design tools help you accomplish design tasks much more quickly than with other CAD systems. Increase the Number of New Products Introduced Each Year • By improving design productivity and throughput, NX can help your engineering teams pursue more opportunities and develop more products without more resources. Reduce Delivery Cycle Time by 35 percent • With integrated design, simulation, tooling and manufacturing, NX can help you transform and streamline development processes, using the same knowledge and data from the first concept to the shop floor. Product Design
Accelerate Innovation with Leading-Edge 3D Product Design
Software • The increasing complexity of products, development processes and design teams challenges you to find new tools and methods to deliver greater innovation and higher quality at lower cost. NX 3D product design software from Siemens PLM Software delivers power, efficiency and cost savings that extend beyond the design process to all phases of product development. 3D CAD Modeling
NX mechanical design software
delivers comprehensive modeling, enabling you to use the most productive modeling approaches interchangeably – from explicit solid and surface modeling to parametric and direct modeling. Assembly Design
NX provides the most powerful
CAD assembly design tools available. Supporting both top- down and bottom-up design techniques, NX gives you advanced assembly management and navigation for the most complex assemblies. Sheet Metal Design
• Using familiar terminology and
workflows, NX helps you efficiently create sheet metal parts based on the knowledge of material properties and manufacturing processes. NX sheet metal design tools incorporate material and bending information, enabling the model to represent both the formed component and flattened blank shapes. Template-Based Design
• Designing from product templates
helps you accelerate design, standardize product design processes, and maximize the time and cost savings of re-use. With NX, you can quickly create templates from existing designs and easily re- use them for new designs.
