Overall Satisfaction with NX CAD

We utilize the NX CAD software extensively for design and development of Automotive components. At present, the project deliveries and timeline are most challenging. The interconnected modelling and drafting modules helped to reduce project lead time and fulfil the promised deliveries. NX CAD is user friendly and provides better control on commands for generating complex Class A surfaces very effectively.

Pros

  • Rendering of components
  • Modeling of plastic components such as instrumental panels and Console
  • Generation of Complex Class A surfaces
  • Generation of splines and complex geometries
  • Integration of CAD and CAM

Cons

  • 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 time taken to open/save the assembly can be reduced.
  • The connectivity of splines laying in different planes can be improvised.
  • Positive Impact: Better control on commands and user-friendly interface, interconnected modelling and drafting modules helped to reduce project lead time and fulfil the promised deliveries.
  • Negative Impact: No negative impact
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.
