Overall Satisfaction with NX CAD

NX CAD is used for the design of injection molds. The whole design of the parts, including cooling and standard parts, are made in NX CAD. As a quite new part structural simulations are also made with NX CAD.
  • 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.
  • Sketches
  • Parameters
  • Boolean operations
  • Positive: whole 3D parts are in one system
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.

Do you think NX CAD delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with NX CAD's feature set?

Yes

Did NX CAD live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of NX CAD go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy NX CAD again?

Yes

As said before, the linking of bodies to different parts works really well. At our company, we work with assemblies and the position of the parts is something I must pay attention to.
