NX CAD Demo - Topology Optimization and Generative Design
Use NX technology to easily generate multiple design options. (It's like having an extra employee dedicated to "trying out" different designs.) Then use Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) to generate the part.
NX CAD Demo - Search for components and parts based on shape
Studies show an inordinate amount of time can be spent by designers as they look for previous or similar parts. Let the software do the work for you as it searches for similarly-shaped parts.
NX CAD Demo - Validate you design before you manufacture it
NX has the ability for you to validate a part (or assembly) and its adherence to standards, collisions, and manufacturability.
NX CAD Demo - Virtual Reality

What do you like best about NX CAD?

NX software integration is the key factor for this software, saving a lot of time to do the same task on multiple platforms to get one model done. This makes work easier and saves time. Their high-quality rendering product provides excellent presentation. The availability of tools according to project requirements helps to work quickly and deliver the expected result with less effort. This platform provides good collaboration, helping me keep the client updated without extra effort and ensuring smooth coordination within the team.

There isn’t enough training material available, which made it hard for me to learn the platform in the beginning. However, their customer support system is quite good and helped me a lot in that phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

There’s nothing major to dislike about the NX platform, but it is quite expensive, and I think they could improve the UI. Also, there isn’t enough training material available, which made it difficult for me to learn the platform in the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NX CAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps create complex designs of assemblies and product parts easily, which improves the quality of work. The PLM features help with coordination between the client and us. Additionally, multiple people from our side can access the same model, which helps deliver the product on time without affecting quality. The system can handle large files without crashing, saving a lot of time and effort. high-quality rendering and visualization tools help to create realistic presentations allows us to present effectively to the client Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NX CAD?

NX CAD has completely changed my design experience. I like how its interface is so intuitive to get around complicated projects. Seamless data management is essential for collaboration, so the integration with software such as Teamcenter is achieved. Its advanced features of simulation and parametric modeling save you tons of time and allows us to validate the designs before moving to the production. The outcome of this has been much more accurate and much more efficient for our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

The only thing I wish was different with NX CAD is that it has a pretty long learning curve especially for greenhorn engineers. It can initially be quite an avalanche of information to process hence making the onboarding of new team members a difficult task. Further, the software may consume a lot of space on the pc and hence slow computers hinder productivity. I have also learnt to deal with odd bugs that require fixing and this is especially worse when the time is tight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NX CAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

NX CAD solves many problems which are related to product design. From modeling to simulation we can also use it to test our designs before getting to the production phase. This capability has easily and greatly helped in minimizing the number of revisions we require hence saving time and other resources. Its integration tools provide ways with which members of a team can be put on to the same platform, thus helping to improve outcomes of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires a lot of storage space to save the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NX CAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to create efficient designs, which predict the performance and behavior of the antennas in different environments and signal conditions, so we can evaluate if the antennas will work properly before installing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
