NX Design Brochure - Siemens PLM Software - #9

NX provides tailored design environments for routed subsystems and 2D schematic Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID), both electrical and mechanical. For electrical routing, designers can use commands for placing wiring, conduit and raceways, taking advantage of standard component libraries for electrical systems. Mechanical routing adds design tools and libraries for tubing, piping and steelwork.

Maintaining associative links between the P&ID layout and the 3D system ensures that system logic is maintained. Changes to the logical design can be quickly applied to the routed system. Routed systems models are fully associative to NX assemblies to facilitate design changes. Automated bill of material (BOM) and bend reports provide information for subsystem manufacturing.

With NX, designers can perform ergonomic studies early in the design process, using accurate human models directly on the digital model to evaluate human interaction.This unique capability is based on Siemens industry-leading Jack technology, which enables the use of biomechanically accurate digital humans of various sizes throughout all stages of the product design process.With human modeling, designers can improve product quality in terms of reachability, vision zones and posture. Jack and his female counterpart Jill are based on anthropometric databases, kinematically accurate and fully mobile through direct on-screen interaction, while adhering to physiological ranges of motion. Postures and poses can be stored separately, giving easy access to the most commonly used human configurations.
