NX Design Brochure - Siemens PLM Software - #3

NX from Siemens PLM Software delivers next-generation design that helps companies transform the product development process. Its leading-edge design tools work in the context of the total development effort, fully integrating

design with the other disciplines

that bring products to market in a unified, managed environment.

Much more than conventional CAD, NX enhances mechanical design with unique technologies

that help companies improve process efficiency and eliminate

wasted time, effort and resources. The NX interactive environment

streamlines everyday design work by structuring tools in task-oriented workflow sequences that improve individual designer

productivity.With functionally complete, high-performance modeling, NX gives design teams

the power and flexibility to

handle designs of virtually any size or complexity.

NX automates and simplifies design by leveraging the product and

process knowledge that companies have gained from experience and from industry best practices. It includes tools that designers can use to capture knowledge in

the form of high-level product structures, templates, frequently used design features, engineering rules and formulas. NX continuously

applies this knowledge to validate the design and guide the process to yield higher quality products that directly fulfill customer and

engineering requirements.

With NX, design is the cornerstone of the total product development

effort. All development disciplines use the same synchronized product

definition, with full associativity that

automatically communicates design updates throughout the entire

process. A unified and fully managed technology platform for all applications ensures that all participants are working with accurate, up-to-date design information and are focused on a common objective.
