We cannot wait to introduce you to the brand-new features of Siemens NX CAD Software! In this blog post, we will look at new NX CAD capabilities that can help your team work more efficiently on projects. We will demonstrate how simple it is to control this entire workflow while also delving into some new capabilities coming in the next June 2022 edition of NX software.
Faster search, faster product to market
We have found features that could facilitate design while sparing the user’s (your!) time as we work to improve the NX software’s experience. With the June 2022 NX Cad Software release, we added a cross-domain deep search function that can be utilised across all applications used in the product lifecycle (PLM), from engineering to production, to assist you in finding not only designs but also the designs that are most pertinent to your search. You will now be able to discover what you are looking for right away thanks to this simplified all-in-one improvement, which will allow you to hand along designs to the rest of your team even more quickly.
We have also enhanced this functionality to interface with both Teamcenter and Active Workspace as an optional add-on, enabling deep CAD searches. Now you can access everything you want in a single location.
Save time with sketch creation improvements
Cost savings come from time savings. To help you realise your ideas, we added a variety of additional drawing features to the NX software’s version released in June 2022. We have eliminated the extra stages necessary for Midpoint detection with the new Sketch Solver upgrade. Both lines and arcs as well as auto symmetry are supported by this new feature in some circumstances.
It has been made possible to simultaneously alter the pattern shape and patterning distance using the Sketch Patterning tool. No matter how few or many components are included in the pattern, changing just one will cause the Sketch Patterning tool to alter the rest of the group in the same way. Additionally, we have made changing curve endpoints simpler than ever, particularly when doing so necessitates moving a section. The ‘over-sticky’ situations that were previously present have been eliminated by the new advancements inside this feature.
Another area where we have enhanced the NX CAD Software user experience is Mechanism Mode. In response to user demand, Mechanism Mode now permits unrestricted movement within a sketch without locking curves to the axis, enabling rapid and effective 2D design.
Some significant advancements in this area as we move into more curve-related ones include giving the Draw Curve command more possibilities and introducing new techniques for creating curves. Now, by matching or snapping to existing curves, you can quickly draw curves by hand. With the development of several new automated techniques, it has become easier to add more intricacy and details to your 3D designs after they have been made. These capabilities have been added to significantly reduce design time and increase efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. They range from dragging and locating fillets to more quickly visualising curve networks.
Enhanced support within convergent modelling workflows
Convergent Modelling has been more popular in recent years, partly due to NX Software, and is now an industry standard. As a result, we kept developing this time- and money-saving technology for the NX upgrade in June 2022.
Through improved computational modelling, convergent body assistance now helps users to navigate the complexity of patterns and forms more quickly. New nodes have been designed to serve workflows while existing nodes have been made ready to deal with convergent inputs and outputs. This encompasses the capacity to merge convergent faces, subdivide facets, and smooth convergent bodies.
Summary
We hope you are eager to try out the NX CAD Software upgrade in June 2022! Just a handful of the numerous improvements we have implemented to improve user experience and foster team collaboration are covered in the updates we discussed in this blog article. The outcome is a time and money saving that enables the implementation of a go-to-market strategy more quickly.
