Unigraphics

Introduction:
It is 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
1): Design (parametric and direct solid/surface modeling)
2): Engineering analysis (static, dynamic, electro-magnetic, thermal using the finite element
method; and fluid, using the finite volume method).
3): Manufacturing finished design by using included machining modules.
4):NX is a direct competitor to Topsolid, CATIA, Creo, Autodesk Inventor, and SolidWorks.

Key functions
1):Computer-aided design (CAD) (Design)
Parametric solid modeling (feature-based and direct modeling).

Advnatages:
1):Fast, Flexible, Efficient Product Design.
2):Power and Capacity for Complex Products.
3):Reduce Development Time by More than 30 Percent.
4):Increase the Number of New Products Introduced Each Year.
5):Reduce Delivery Cycle Time by 35 percent
