How can NX Help You in Product

Engineering?



Page 8

NX Design Flexibility

Flexibility to use the best tool for your

design task in a single environment

delivers maximum productivity

Parametric feature based modeling

• Sketch Based Workflows

• Feature Based

Synchronous Technology

• Fast design evolution

• Increased data reuse from other

CAD systems

• Fully integrated with feature modeling

Freeform modeling

• Flexible approaches to generate

complex shapes

“The difference lies in the way the

functionality is made available. And in this

respect NX scores high, as our people use it

with pleasure.”

Lau Reijnen

General Manager

NX Feature Modeling

Combining 2D Sketch Based

Workflows & 3D Features for

maximum productivity

Sketch Based Workflows

• 2D geometry Extrude,

Revolve, Sweep

• Boolean operations (Unite,

Revolve, Intersect etc.)

3D Features

• Holes, slots, bosses, threads etc.

• Blends

Sketch & Extrude with

implicit Boolean

Advanced blending


Page 10


• No need to understand model history,

and feature Relationships-

dependencies in order to

make a change

• Modification and constraints are

applied directly to model geometry

(faces, edges) increasing flexibility

• Efficient response to model changes

• Easy to modify imported models

when needed

• Fully integrated with parametric

feature based workflow

• Solves complex core design issues

like draft and blends


Page 11


Productive Design That is Easy To Use

Synchronous technology enables

• Simple, direct pull/push tools for

editing and creation

• Modify a part – even if you don’t

know how it was created

• Select and drag with

real time preview

• Immediate feedback on

design changes

• Add intelligence to dumb data


Page 12

Freeform Modeling

Combining fast, up-front styling

concept creation with detailed

freeform shape generation can

reduce time to production

Better quality surface definition

improves manufacturability and

part quality

Advanced visualization capabilities

help you understand true impact

of product shape decisions

Simple… Fast… Flexible

Simple to use tools

Immediate feedback

High quality

visualization

Better

designs in

less time

NX with HD3D Delivers Clarity to Information

Supporting product development decisions

Visual analytics in the context of the 3D design Information

drill-in

Product validation

Issue identification & tracking

Navigation & context setting

Exploring dependencies & relationships

Visual information correlation & reporting

Simulation Data and Process Management

Link simulation results to requirements

Linking CAE results to requirements

• Increases understanding of

analysis feedback

• Simulation results are linked to HD3D

tools including:

• Requirements Validation

• CheckMate

• Visual Reporting

Leveraged by Product Template Studio

and NX Modeling Optimization

HD3D tags show

requirements

validation failures

Tags can link to

additional information

on test procedures


Page 15

HD3D Check-MateAutomated and managed design validation

Greatly streamlined interaction for

executing validations and reviewing

higher-fidelity results

• Hundreds of checks out of the box

• New checks easily added using

Knowledge Fusion and or

NX Open API

• Tailored report generation

tools included

• Teamcenter management of checks

and check results

NX: The Flexibility To Re-use More Data

Between parts

Within the same part

From Reuse Library

With NX re-use data in a number

of ways

• Within the same part

• Between parts

• Added to the Reuse Library

• and shared

Enables decomposition and

reassembly workflow

• Helps achieve desired results faster

• NX reusable elements are easy to

edit because behaviour isn’t defined

at creation time


Page 17

NX Enables Re-use and Adaptation

Quickly find data from a variety

of sources

• Teamcenter classification capabilities

• NX Reuse Library provides quick

access to re-usable design data

throughout the design process

• Geolus Search - shape indexing

software will run a search against

your database to come up any with

pre-existing parts that can be reused

• Shape search improves productivity

by locating more parts to re-use


Page 18

Product Template Studio

Product Template Studio makes it easy to

create reusable packages of engineering

knowledge that can contain

• Part and assembly designs

• Embedded validation of the newly

adapted design

• Embedded analyses verifying

functional performance

• Embedded documentation describing

the design for manufacturing

• Reusable design elements accelerate

product development

Multi-CAD Data Uses Important Resources

Over 80% of a designer's time in a

CAD system is spent editing and

creating geometry

To be productive, you have to find

effective ways of:

• Quickly designing and

modifying designs

• Editing and adapting models

retrieved from long-term archival

storage (carry-over, legacy)

• Editing models received from other

CAD systems (Multi-CAD data)


Page 20

NX Support for Multi-CAD

NX increases the value of reusing Multi-

CAD data from suppliers or partners

supporting global collaboration

• Associative JT based

Multi-CAD design

• Directly open and work with

data from:

• CATIA V4 & V5, CREO, SolidWorks

• Standards based supported formats

include:

• IGES, STEP, DXF/DWG

• NX can natively open files from

almost every major CAD system:

• CATIA

• SolidWorks

• AutoCAD

• Solid Edge

• Neutral formats

• Data from any source can be

modified if it has XT BREP in it

• No need for third-party translators

• Faster, more reliable

NX Allows Direct Access to Imported Data
