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
This rendering was created from the actual product design. Notice the lighting and surface realism.

What do you like best about NX CAD?

The most helpful thing about NX CAD and the upside of NX CAD are one and the same.

The developers at NX really take into account the user and how engineers 'think'. They focus on input received by real users and make constant improvements to make the CAD tool very intuitive and easier to use, with follow on inputs to make the next command more intuitive.

Really like how proactive the NX developers are with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

The downside is that it is a big platform software package. It's pricing point keeps many who would benefit from the software out. It's such a powerful tool, if there was a 'lite' version of it, to get the smaller companies into using it would be something worth looking in to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

NX CAD integrates approved models into the sub assemblies and overall assemblies for validation and correctness of form, fit and function. The design is proofed out digitally before it is ever manufactured providing huge benefits in cost implementation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Siemens NX

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on NX CAD! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate the user-centric approach of our developers and the continuous improvements to enhance usability.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about NX CAD?

- user-friendly. Easy to learn every command

- There are a lot of options to customize commands in every module.

- Strong and stable processing

- Can handle large assemblies very smoothly.

- NX contains many modules that can help users from the ideation phase to manufacturing, providing the same GUI.

- NX also provides offline and online help support for every NX command.

- Cost-effective and has more features than competitor software.

- Siemens continuously works on the development of NX, as they release new patches monthly and new versions every 6–12 months.

- Sketching and modeling are faster because of the shortcuts available for dimensioning and applying constraints.

- In-built machine simulation is available for NX CAM. So that collision can be eliminated in practical operations

- Adoption and implementation of NX CAD/CAM are very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

- Hard to find assembly file due to same extension as that of child parts

- Accessing libraries is a tedious task for some NX modules.

- Choosing the right modules to meet your requirements could be a difficult process as we cannot add any add-on modules randomly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Various tests available in Checkmate help to make the design meet industry standards.

- Clearance analysis always helps to find assembly errors.

- Animation designers and human modeling make sure the design is safe and error-free.

- User friendliness in NX also increases the work efficiency of designers, so work output will be more

- Working on a neutral file is tremendously easier due to synchronized modeling.

- Switching between different modules, like sheet metal, makes assembly quite easier. So that time is saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
