Customer requirement is in NX CAD.
NX CAD is easy to use.
NX and TCPLM integration is easy.
Chose Designcenter
I like NX CAD modelling features and drafting tool bars which helps in accomplishing the task in minimum steps. The available tools precisely generate the splines and complex geometries as required. There is perfect integration between NX CAD and NX CAM modules with less data …
Chose Designcenter
Was not question. The SW is only a translator, export, import system.
Chose Designcenter
NX CAD is very good for interoperability between different three dimensional modelling softwares, it can convert to .jt models, from native format such as .CATPart, .CATProduct, and ones from Solidworks. Also it is integrated to Siemens Teamcenter, which also enables other …
Chose Designcenter
The API is more great then by the others. Also the Integration in Teamcenter. This is also leading to collaborative functions.
Chose Designcenter
Copy of parts and assemblies was much easier in NX CAD than in Solid Edge. The same was with parameters. I don't know if this changed in the last few years.
Chose Designcenter
more design options,
load large assemblies
Chose Designcenter
Siemens NX CAD is having very simple layout as compared to other competitors. It supports many numbers of file formats & translation to other software. It supports easy conversion of 3D to 2D. It supports PLM for project & Data Management. It is very versatile & supports Mold …
Chose Designcenter
The only reason why NX was chosen was due to the process management, and revision control that's built-in. And being able to limit access to files and if they can be modified.
Chose Designcenter
I find DraftSight as a pure 2d integration of Siemens NX CAD. They don't collide, they are useful for different needs.
Chose Designcenter
Currently do not have any experience outside of Siemens PLM.

NX CAD is very good when it comes to three dimensional modelling and rendering and visualization. Furthermore, the export to jt function together with import into other Siemens software packages, such as Teamcenter, is a major reason why I am using NX. However, it can be a little more computationally expensive compare to other CAD packages.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Seamless interaction across multiple departments.
  • The software allows you to create a very high level of control and organization within your engineering staff. This reduces the companies mistakes and maximizes productivity.
  • The software makes it very easy to track your product through every phase of the production cycle.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Keeping the colors of surfaces if volume bodies are linked
  • Show and keep symbolic threads
  • For me, I miss more information why a surface can't be deleted or a radius is not possible. And maybe a solution, how could it look like, if NX CAD adds a new surface.

I like NX CAD modelling features and drafting tool bars which helps in accomplishing the task in minimum steps. The available tools precisely generate the splines and complex geometries as required. There is perfect integration between NX CAD and NX CAM modules with less data loss. Better graphical interface and simplified commands makes NX CAD a better software then others.

  • Through API implementation we have created some CAD Automation tool that saved us about 100h to create specific 3D geometry
  • Teamcenter integration leverage quality of 3D geometry because avoid any situation of duplicated version of same Item that can take lot of hours to verify the correct version
  • Possibility to integrate different 3D format allow to earlier detect possible impact of wrong geometry

Designcenter Screenshots

Screenshot of Sustainability in Designcenter helps evaluate a product's environmental impact. Analyze material choices and manufacturing processes to create eco-friendly designs that meet global standards and reduce your carbon footprint.Screenshot of the Performance Predictor, used to simulate and forecast operational efficiency. This helps optimize designs and proactively avoid bottlenecks before physical implementation.Screenshot of Immersive Engineering, used to dive deep into manufacturing environments. Viewers can explore and analyze processes virtually to pinpoint potential issues and optimize workflows before they ever reach the factory floor.Screenshot of the Select Similar tool, used to quickly identify and group geometrically identical or parametrically similar components within a design. This streamlines modifications and ensures consistency across an entire project.Screenshot of a rendering created from the actual product design. Notice the lighting and surface realism.
