Overall Satisfaction with NX CAD

I am using NX CAD for mainly
1. For modeling of 3D complex geometries.
2. For simulation and analysis of new designs.
Using NX CAD for simulation helps to evaluate the performance of products in terms of strength and durability before actual manufacturing which helps to save costs and product development time.

Pros

  • 3D parametric solid modeling, surface modeling and assembly modeling
  • Handling large assemblies and complex designs
  • Motion simulations to analyze and optimize mechanisms
  • Finite element analysis for structural and thermal performance

Cons

  • Improved documentation, including tutorials and user guides, could help new users navigate the software more effectively. Also intermittent sessions can improve the experience.
  • Customizing the interface and workflows can be challenging, advanced knowledge of software is required in such case.
  • Simulation capabilities can be improved in NX making its application widespread.
  • Increased productivity and efficiency with NX CAD has resulted in faster design iterations and reduced development time.
  • NX CAD has resulted in Improved design quality due to use of its simulation capability which allow virtual testing and optimization of product.
  • NX CAD is complex tools to learn and it takes time for new user to learn it and requires training for longer duration and ultimately it affects efficiency.
NX CAD is a powerful and comprehensive tool that is compatible with various software and file formats. This tool can be used for modeling of complex geometries and also for testing and simulations.
The licensing cost of NX CAD is high and also it is complex tool to learn which has been a challenge for new user.

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

Not sure

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?

Yes

Would you buy NX CAD again?

Yes

NX CAD is well suited for products with complex designs because of ability of NX in handling large assemblies, parametric modeling which makes it suitable for automotive and aerospace industries.

It is less suitable simple 2D drafting and low complexity products as other software solutions may provide cost-effective solutions and quicker learning curve.
