NX vision:

Deliver world-class

solutions that enable you to

enhance your product

ideation, development and

manufacturing processes

and outcomes.



Why NX as a Technology Platform?

NX is built on the most modern architecture of any major

CAD/CAM/CAE solution

Every NX release is customer deployment ready

NX is an open solution that “plugs and plays” with your

existing IT systems

NX enables you to use data from previous NX and

Unigraphics releases in the current release

• Goes back to the first Unigraphics release (circa 1984)

ScalablePlatform

Flexibility



• Digital Twin accelerates time to market of quality

products

• Collaborative Design enables simultaneous design

across the globe

• Digital Thread ties all the processes together

• Reuse saves time, cuts complexity and ensures

quality

• Increase of intelligent, connected products

providing instantaneous feedback for a closed loop

system

Market trends



NX Design Strengths

• Integrated toolset – “It was the only alternative where we did not have to buy

additional plug-ins or third party products to fulfil the demands”

• Synchronous Technology – “For editing imported or old models and for CAE

pre-processing”

• Leadership in Generative Design, Convergent ModelingTM, and Design for

Additive Manufacturing

• Product Stability – “Not a single corruption through 100s of major design

changes”

• Design Versatility – “You can work in a more innovative way, combining the

capabilities of Alias, SolidWorks, and Space Claim in a single tool”

Design more efficiently with NX than any

competitive software.



The world’s most productive modeler has an intuitive

interactive user interface and the fastest model resolution

to help you go from concept to model reality in the

shortest time possible.

• Selection Intent incorporates design intent and allows

for robust updates

• Parasolid - Boolean, Blends enhanced with 1000s of

customer use cases

• Dedicated Best-in-Class Quality Assurance Team

Worlds Most Robust Modeler

Continued investment in core modelling

functionality provides the world’s most productive

modeling environment.

Airframe Structural Components

with 1000s of Features



Seamless integration of wireframe, surface, solid and

facet modeling tools and techniques.

• Surface/Solid – Best-in-Class surfacing tools

integrated within a single design environment.

• Convergent Modeling – Enables Facets and B-Rep

modeling in a single part

• Subdivision Modeling – Intuitive push-pull methods of

defining shapes

• Synchronous Modeling – Simple to use direct editing

tools regardless of source and feature history

Flexibility / Versatility

Use the best tools and approaches without

switching applications or transferring data.

As such, presentations help

define the company’s reputation

and provide both internal

and external orientation.

Synchronous Technology 3D Demo



Product design require management of the

relationships between components. NX offers tools to

simplify the creation, editing of inter-part relationships.

• Product Interfaces defines geometry that can be

referenced by other components

• WAVE Geometry Linking associatively copies

geometry between components

• WAVE tools simplifies the process of creating and

editing inter-part relationships

• Relations Browser, Sync Links

• Replacement Assistant

Collaborative Design within Assembly Context

NX Product Interface and WAVE linking tools

ensure the right information is being shared.

Design reuse is the key to achieving engineering

targets … delivering the right product, on schedule

and at cost.

• Copy / Paste - quickly reuse design features

• User Defined Feature - define and manage

standard design features

• Geolus – 3D Shape/Attribute based search engine

• Product Template Studio – define and manage

reusable assemblies

Design Reuse

Design reuse is an essential tool enabling top

performers to hit engineering targets.

Complex designs can be simplified by breaking them

up into modules based on function or region. Part

features are organized within isolated groups and can

be distributed to multiple designers and worked on

concurrently.

Part Modules enables 2 key capabilities:

• Local Edit / Update enables designers to effectively

work with parts with 1000s of features

• Team Design enables complex parts to be designed

concurrently by multiple designers

Modular Design

Modular designs simplifies complex designs

and enables faster design creation and

changes.

Pocket Tool Bodies Organized into Part Modules



Strengthening the Core

Every release, the NX development team

implements 1000s of customer enhancement

requests

1000s of new features/enhancements

delivered in each release

And more new product extensions than ever

before

Major focus on customer deployment

Building on our core foundation and

architecture

to NX in last 2 years



ANIMA AB, SWEDEN

Kronaby Connected Watches

The team behind Anima had experience of PLM systems and

understood early on how important it is with a powerful CAD and

PLM support to get out quickly into the market. With the help of

NEXTAGE, Anima chose NX CAD to design its watches, and

Teamcenter PLM to handle its product information.



TENTIPI, SWEDEN

”…NX was the tool that met our demands to the highest

degree…”, says Gustav Holmström.

”But NX actually got cheaper in the end. With NX we did not need

to purchase extra functionality or software from third party

vendors.”

“The tools for design and production are future proofed with NX”,

says Gustav Holmström.

“We have also bought a 3D printer to be able to manufacture and

test physical models before we for example order a mold. In

addition, NX helps us with our wind simulations to guarantee the

security for those who are in the tents.”



Northrop Grumman

“NX Synchronous Modeling enables direct manipulation of

surfaces based on parametric NX or imported Multi-CAD data”

“NX automatically finds and recognizes design features – holes,

ribs, flanges, pockets, offset surfaces, etc. to allow editing”

“Fast and easy editing of any Catia V4 parts … faster editing [in

NX] than a V4 or V5 re-build”

“Add intelligence

where needed to

make a smart

part”



Summary of benefits

Increase in 3D data usage for design reviews

Concentration on industry based workflows not

just picks and clicks

Enables a multiple person approach to assembly

models and seamless switching between

assembly components

Edit models regardless of where they come from

with Synchronous Technology

Design Automation and Reuse with Product

Template Studio
