The NX suite of solutions enables you to transform your entire product development process – as well as streamline the efficiency of the individual steps that comprise this process. NX provides best-in-class functionality for CAD, CAM, CAE and PDM for all of your product development initiatives.

The NX suite delivers unparalleled breadth and depth of functionality, including:

Synchronous Technology

Enables you to seamlessly use the most productive modeling approaches in the same environment – including explicit solid and surface modeling, as well as parametric and history-free modeling.

Knowledge-based automation

Enables you to leverage the product and process knowledge that your company has gained from its experiences, as well as from industry best practices. Process innovation, which enables you to streamline and integrate the everyday work of your planning, concept design, engineering, simulation and manufacturing teams.

Lifecycle simulation

Enables you to streamline your simulation, validation and optimization processes and incorporate performance simulation into your product development process early and often.

NX is backed by Siemens PLM Software`s leadership in delivering Global Innovation Networks, which enables your company to make unified, information-driven decisions at every stage in the
product lifecycle.

NX Business Value

NX excels at delivering business value for companies that need an integrated environment for digital product development.

Robust and powerful problem solving

NX is able to handle extremely complex product development problems through its comprehensive suite of CAD, CAM and CAE solutions. NX`s interactive design capabilities enable you to model complex geometry and massive assemblies, improving performance and capacity. You can use NX`s advanced simulation capabilities to handle the most demanding CAE challenges, providing a 30 percent reduction in physical prototyping. NX also enables you to improve your manufacturing process by taking advantage of today`s most advanced tooling and machining technologies.

Flexibility

NX provides unprecedented flexibility to employ technology of your own choosing – as well as the best-in-class tools offered in the NX solution suite. NX Design Freedom enables designers to combine constraint-driven modeling techniques with direct modeling. Designers and CAE users can use NX synchronous modeling tools to modify design geometry created on other (non-NX) CAD systems or by other modeling techniques.

Unified coordination

NX delivers a unified product development environment and unified processes that can be leveraged to accelerate your cycle times. The seamless integration of NX applications enables you to rapidly propagate information and process changes across a development lifecycle that runs from concept design to manufacturing.

NX also leverages Siemens` Teamcenter® software to establish a single source of product and process knowledge for your product development environment. You can leverage this knowledge to coordinate your cross-discipline teams, standardize your processes and accelerate decision making.

Productivity

NX improves the productivity of your concept design, engineering, simulation and manufacturing teams by facilitating multiple re-use initiatives. Engineering teams can leverage multi-CAD data in their design, analysis and manufacturing processes – minimizing the need to re-master this data and improving your analysis and machining cycle times.

Open environment

NX`s open architecture enables you to protect your existing IT investments. With this unifying platform, you can readily incorporate solutions from other vendors in the digital product development process. At another level, NX provides you with the opportunity to deploy its capabilities on a variety of platforms, including Windows Vista, Windows XP, UNIX and Linux.
