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
Virtually inspect and mark up full sized assemblies
NX CAD Demo - Photorealistic renders

What do you like best about NX CAD?

Firstly the user interface with various options available makes it a ideal cad software .The next things which is to mention is that Siemens is upgrading, collaborating and bringing new technology like recent introduction of BIM in Nx is very useful for a Hvac engineers.Usually NX mold is very powerful tool . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

The surface modelling should be improved such that it can be implemented instead of catia and creo in many automobile industry.There is also some bugs in structural engineer application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am a formula student team lead, we are using Siemens Nx for a year. As it is cad, cam, cae, plm package which makes us to perform all the process in single software.We have used several application like structural engineer for modelling our chassis , In our chassis we are using round pipe which is difficult to notch. Structural engineer interface provides us ease to select the types of joints between the structural members just by selecting the joint type like matched cope, which saved most of our time. After making the entire chassis, we used to draft every pipe of the chassis by converting it to sheet metal, make it into flat pattern. The drafted drawing was atached to circumference of a pipe and all the critical notches were perfectly made. In assembly 2D viewer option quickly allows us to check the fit and alignment of the components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NX CAD?

I like NX CAD modelling features and drafting tool bars which helps in accomplishing the task in minimum steps. The available tools precisely generate the splines and complex geometries as required. There is perfect integration between NX CAD and NX CAM modules with less data loss. Better graphical interface and simplified commands makes NX CAD a better software then others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

The tool has scope to develop an algorithm for generating surfaces from the point data. The connectivity of splines laying in different planes can be improvised. The time taken to open/save the assembly can be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The interconnected modelling and drafting modules helped to reduce project lead time and fulfil the promised deliveries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Siemens NX

Thank you for your feedback, Atul. We appreciate your suggestions for improving the algorithm for generating surfaces and enhancing the connectivity of splines. We'll definitely consider these for future updates.

What do you like best about NX CAD?

Initially I started the use of NX CAD for plastic product design. It is very user friendly. It's parametric modeling capabilities, allowing users to create designs that are easily editable and adaptable to changes. It's single platform means .prt format for part file, assembly & drawing makes the use of it for shifting the module provide the greater efficiency.

Currently I'm working as application engineer for NX Software. The overall process of Installation, Introduction to custome is very easy & simplified.

Also customer satisfaction rate is very good. New UI which is launch after the NX 12 is very interactive & helpful for new designer.

The customer support from the siemens in the form of IR is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
