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?

Straightforward assembly structure with possibility to edit parts in the context of an assembly

Part families that can be edited with excel

user expressions

Coupling with PLCsim advanced is very easy

A lot of preprogrammed MCD functions (conveyor, linear actuator, kinematic chain)

It is easy to start making simulations with MCD Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

embarrasing performance of the physics engine (MCD): even small amounts of collision bodies cause the time scale to drop below one. Additionally, the simulation is often unphysical with objects randomly flying away.

the lack of a search function in the keyboard shortcut menu

high price compared to similar software and even then a lot of basic functions are still behind a paywall

Documentation/manual not always existing or clear for all functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use NX CAD mainly for the MCD functionality to test mechanical concepts and PLC programming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Siemens NX

It's great to hear that NX CAD is helping you test mechanical concepts and PLC programming. We'll continue to work on improving the software to better meet your needs.

What do you like best about NX CAD?

Time Saving Tools through robust synchronous modeling and unified part/drawing files allow complex designs to be made. Scalable to teams by allowing teams to make modifications to the 3D model without understanding design tree or even on dumb solid models (parasolids/STP). Search Bar allows for easy to find commands. Tight integration with Teamcenter PDM and PLM system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAD?

Additional Features require several modules to enable. Features are difficult to self-discover. Proficiency is gained through training, word of mouth, or focused learning time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

NX CAD is industry-standard CAD tool. Out of major CAD packages, it is the fastest at manipulating designs and the robustness of the synchronous modeling tools allows editing of vendor parts without a feature tree or working on co-worker CAD Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Siemens NX

Thank you for highlighting the time-saving tools in NX CAD! We're thrilled to hear that robust synchronous modeling and unified part/drawing files have allowed you to create complex designs more efficiently. Your insights into scalability, search functionality, and integration with Teamcenter PDM and PLM are valuable. Your support and feedback mean a lot to our team!
