NX CAD Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

This design software has a powerful and versatile CAD platform that allows us to create and edit complex designs, it has become our main working tool.

NX CAD is super complete, it has advanced tools where we can create plans and drawings, making it perfect for our construction projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires powerful hardware to run properly, so the company must have advanced equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best platform for 3D modeling of new machinery for priliminary understanding.

Easy to understand & regenerate model.

Review the model multiple times with number of modifications.

This software is easy to install & Till date I didn't got a chance to contact the Customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Am still a new user, may be i need more time to update my inputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UG NX Provide various types of tools like 3D Modelling, Sheet Metal, Surface Modeling And Drafting etc. And have so many layers that is very good for modelling purpose in that you can select different layers for different plane and angles. You can also search commands from command section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UG NX Required very powerful machine (i.e. RAM, Graphics Card etc). Complexity in user interface as compare to other CADD software.High licencing cost that is difficult for small scale industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of similarities between NX CAD and Fusion, so the learning curve isn't that bad when switching between the two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software feels a bit clunky, and not as responsive as other programs I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Both CAE and CAM are advanced and well performing on Machines Like CNC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's interface is not as handy as other software but seems greats to handle when you start to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main advantage that I found in NX CAD is the modeling advanced tools that support me to produce close to reality and intricate shapes with the right level of detail. This one does not shrink even when dealing with large assemblies, a feature that is very desirable on complicated tasks. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with our PLM system so there are no problems for example with redesigning to manufacturing, all the teams work on the same page.

However, NX CAD has its drawbacks - the program is not quite friendly for new employees, which means that the process of their training may take a lot of time. This can further drop the potential for coming up with strategies for improvisation that help the team to speed up on projects. Additionally, the resource requirement stands high and when used in a system, conflicts with available hardware and therefore there are cases of hanging a bit often.

Modeling is very easy to use, it has n number of features, and easy of implimentation and easy of integration with PLM, I'm using it frequently from last 2 years it has good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drafting is need to improve for beter results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) NX's synchronous technology allows users to work with both parametric and direct modeling techniques. This flexibility enables quick design iterations and easy modification of imported geometry from other CAD systems, enhancing productivity and collaboration.

2) NX supports extensive automation features such as customizable templates, feature-based modeling, and automated toolpath generation. These capabilities help streamline repetitive tasks and reduce manual intervention, leading to faster and more efficient workflows.

3) Siemens NX provides a fully integrated suite encompassing CAD, CAE, and CAM capabilities within a single platform. This integration allows seamless transition between design, analysis, and manufacturing processes, reducing the need for multiple software packages and ensuring data consistency.

4) NX integrates seamlessly with Siemens’ Teamcenter PLM software, facilitating robust data management, collaboration, and lifecycle management. This integration enhances traceability, reduces errors, and improves overall project coordination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) It take time for NX to convert files from neutral file format.

2) Strong PLM integration with Teamcenter, but less seamless with Dassault products.

3) NX have lots of commands to exicute an same operation in different way so in some cases it is confusing.

4) Strong, but slightly less advanced than CATIA in surfacing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NX CAD is the powerful and comprehensive software solution used for product design, engineering, and manufacturing.ease of use is enhanced by its customizable interface, extensive support resources, and automation features.Implementing NX CAD effectively involves several considerations to ensure a smooth transition and integration into your existing workflows. An active user community and online forums provide additional support and knowledge sharing, helping users troubleshoot issues and learn from others’ experiences.The exact frequency of use will depend on how integral the software is to the company’s operations, the roles of the users, and the nature of the projects being worked on. NX CAD needs to integrate with, such as PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and other engineering or design tools.
