What is NX CAD?
Siemens NX software is an integrated solution that aims to help users deliver better products faster and more efficiently. NX delivers design, simulation, and manufacturing solutions that enable companies to realize the value of the digital twin.
Supporting every aspect of product development, from concept design through engineering and manufacturing, NX gives users an integrated toolset that coordinates disciplines, preserves data integrity and design intent, and streamlines the entire process.
Siemens NX CAD is a product development solution: NX for Design offers features and capabilities to help get a product to market faster.
NX for Design aims to enable users to deliver products “right to market, first time" using more virtual product models and fewer, more costly, physical prototypes. This is to drive market gains, lower development costs, and improved product quality.

(1-24 of 24)The direction is good!
- new mold features, modules
- associative, gateway
- help documentation
- measuring went wrong direction !!!!!!!!!!!!!
- sketch base.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!
- from model base went to sketch base the features
CAD support
- stability
- speed
- assembly
- sketch
- constraints
- 3D modelling
- Mass property analysis
- Sizing and tolerencing
- Sizing and tolerence
- Better coordinate system creation tool with mass property
- Ability to configure product/assembly structure upon import
For Smart Factory use
- Complex Assemblies
- NXOpen API
- Journal function
- Less free tutorials in the Internet for NXOpen
- Expression handling is hard
- Multithread functionionalities
NX CAD Review
- customisation options fit our needs
- Teamcenter integration
- open api for c#
- We would appreciate expressions for Tolerances
- Multithreaded NXOpen
- Improved Webservice support
We miss an easy way to integrate NXOpen in Webservices and using it in a multithreaded way.
My Review
- Very good and open API.
- Good Teamcenter instigation.
- Good Customization options.
- Use expressions for tolerance.
- A simple way to use Nx via NXopen in web services.
- Multithreading in Nxopen.
NX CAD review
- Pmi Design
- User Frendly
- working with big Assemblies
NX CAD with Teamcenter
- It is very clear structured
- Search help - showing where to find commands
- Boolean operations
- 3D rendering
- Built in Simulation
NX CAD, a great solution for product development
- The usage of NX CAD is quite intuitive
- There is just not only one way to accomplish an engineering task
- The handling of large assemblies is pretty good compared to other CAD-systems
- Assembly weight management
- Some features are pretty hard to understand cause the help is not very useful, especially new features
- Early adoption features should be more accessible for users
Best program for the design
- Changes are not shown in the normal setup
- Complex menu
- Starting time sometimes long
- Better measurement function
- More integration in the Apple world
- Faster apps for tablets
A solid working program used to design solid molds
- Linking geometries to other parts
- Working with volume models
- Working with parameters
- 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.
Good Performance for Big Assembles
- Parametric Modeling
- Easy Good Interface
- Part Family
- Automation
- Drafting
- Assembly
Best overall CAD Software.
- Great range of possibilities.
- Good improvements in performance in the last years.
- Excellent support of legacy data.
- Some functionalities are introduced early, like the new sketch solver.
- PMI could support ISO standards better than today, like modifiers.
- Generally IRs and PRs could be solved faster, at least more feedback could be provided.
Fine.
- Translators for CAD Formats.
- A lot of modules.
- Customization possibilities.
- New Sketch.
- Reverse engineering.
- Performance in TC.
Take it from there
- handling
- Using 3d and 2D
- connection to the PLM system
- configuration are ment to be a part of the PLM
NX CAD Review
- Modeling
- Free form
- Programming
- Friendlier user interface
A bit complicated to use to do modeling
NX CAD Review
- Design 3d models
- Design model drawings
- a mechanical design solution
- all users use same methodology
les appropriate for all users use the same method of work
Approach NX CAD in a customized world
We are leveraging the digital process
- CAD Automation
- Check-Mate
- Assembly modeling
- New Sketch environment
- Piping functionality
- Drafting with JT files
- Multicad in Teamcenter
NX CAD for high-end product design
- OpenNX programming availability
- PMI management
- additive manufacturing modules
- integration with Rulestream
- Integration with TC Classification
Less appropriate for smaller companiers
NX CAD Why not
- Assiciativity
- 3D modelling
- Booleans
- Assemblies
- PMI
- Sketches
Siemens NX CAD is a very versatile 3D Modeling software
- It has simple commands for 3D Modeling
- Its User interface is very simple
- It is user friendly & supports team PLM
- They Can add simulation for Plastics & FEA
- They need to improve their updates & cost
- They can improve their new versions & remove bugs
Good management system for a Cad package
- 3d modelling
- Motion analysis
- Detailed drawings
- Accountability of users history with parts
- The speed at which it processes large parts
- Ease of dimensioning complex geometry in drawings
- Improving the user interface to make it more in line with most other software currently on the market and making it feel like its in 2022
- Being able to show more than one measurement on the screen at the same time.
- Modeling
- The thing that I need to keep all the parts, usually in common with other assemblies, in the same folder is very uncomfortable if I need to revise a single component.
- I would prefer to have 1 file for each part and just select it when needed. (with Solidedge this is possible).
Siemens PLM-NX user review
- 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.
- Speaking from experience with NX, each revision seems to be focused more on the layout of icons as compared to the functionality of the features.
- Features within NX that have been used for years are no longer being used as a result of new revisions. Doesn't make a lot of sense to the end user. It would be nice to know what the reason is on a much larger scale (ie large customer recommendation?)
How many departments will be using the product?
How does each department or area within any given company work with or rely on each other? You have to know or be able to create a streamlined approach to doing work for the PLM software to really work. The software adds a lot of necessary structure.
