Considered Both Products	Designcenter Verified User Engineer Chose Designcenter Customer requirement is in NX CAD. NX CAD is easy to use. NX and TCPLM integration is easy. Incentivized Helpful? Maurizio Cortesi Senior Software Engineer Chose Designcenter High configurability Teamcenter integration High API interface Helpful? Verified User Analyst 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Designcenter Was not question. The SW is only a translator, export, import system. Helpful? SW Sara Wang Research Fellow 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Program Manager Chose Designcenter The API is more great then by the others. Also the Integration in Teamcenter. This is also leading to collaborative functions. Incentivized Helpful? Pascal Leuckert Senior Consultant CAx Applications Chose Designcenter There's no stack up it's a coalition of the products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Designcenter Simulation and design Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Kiran Kale CAD PLM Solutions Counsultant Chose Designcenter Its Easy to User & Performance is good . Incentivized Helpful? GF Georg Fries Stamping forming Simulation Chose Designcenter Integration in TC. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Designcenter more design options, load large assemblies Incentivized Helpful? MC Maurizio Cortesi Staff Software Engineer Chose Designcenter Because NX CAD is more configurable Incentivized Helpful? LC Luca Caprile Systems Software Engineer Chose Designcenter 3D modelling Incentivized Helpful? AK Abrar Khan Product Design/Development Engineer 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 … Helpful? Matt McAuley AMIMechE Design Engineer 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. Incentivized Helpful? LW Luca Wilden Junior Engineer Chose Designcenter I find DraftSight as a pure 2d integration of Siemens NX CAD. They don't collide, they are useful for different needs. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Designcenter Currently do not have any experience outside of Siemens PLM. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Siemens AG 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. The tool has scope to develop an algorithm for generating surfaces from the point data. Include of option to convert .STL to any CAD format will be helpful. The connectivity of splines laying in different planes can be improvised. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Siemens AG 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Siemens AG 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Siemens AG possibility of integration and customization Incentivized MC Maurizio Cortesi Staff Software Engineer Read full review
Usability	Siemens AG Siemens NX CAD has been has been simple in design & user interface. It is best among the competitors. It can develop heavy models & designs with very ease. It has Layers options for arranging multiple assemblies in the same file. It does not require heavy system investment & works fine on professional PCs AK Abrar Khan Product Design/Development Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Siemens AG NX CAD version is going out of support after only 12 months. Changes will not be implemented after 12 months from prodcution Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Siemens AG the manitenance period is too small for our implementation timeline Incentivized LC Luca Caprile Systems Software Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Siemens AG 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 downstream workflow, such as Tecnomatix Process Simulate. Other software packages would need more integration effort to make this possible Incentivized SW Sara Wang Research Fellow Read full review
Return on Investment	Siemens AG The software itself is pretty expensive compared to other CAD-systems. Implementation is not out of the box, it requires a lot of consulting and iteration cycles. On the positive side is to mention the seamless of downstream functionalities, from product development to manufacturing and visualization, etc. Incentivized Pascal Leuckert Senior Consultant CAx Applications Read full review
