Siemens NX has simple User Interface & Multiple commands. It is user friendly. It Supports 3D Modeling, Mold wizard, Sheet Metal, 2D Drafting, Assembly, Progressive Die tools, etc. It supports multiple export formats like, .x_t, iges, step, sldprt , etc.
It is used, among other tasks, for Design (parametric and direct solid/surface modelling)
Engineering analysis (static; dynamic; electro-magnetic; thermal, using the finite element method; and fluid, using the finite volume method).
NX, formerly known as "Unigraphics", is an advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE, which has been owned since 2007 by Siemens Digital Industries Software.[1][2] In 2000, Unigraphics purchased SDRC I-DEAS and began an effort to integrate aspects of both software packages into a single product which became Unigraphics NX or NX.
NX is a direct competitor to CATIA, Creo, Autodesk Inventor.
Chronological History
1972 United Computing, Inc. releases UNIAPT, one of the world's first end-user CAM products.
1973 The company purchases the Automated Drafting and Machining (ADAM) software code from MCS in 1973. The code became a foundation for a product called UNI- GRAPHICS, later sold commercially as Unigraphics in 1975.
1976 McDonnell Douglas Corporation buys United Computing.
1983 UniSolids V1.0 is released, marking the industry's first true interactive Solid Modeling software offering.
1991 During a period of financial difficulties McDonnell Douglas Automation Company (McAuto) sells its commercial services organization, including the Unigraphics organization and product, to EDS which at that time is owned by GM.[3] Unigraphics becomes GM's corporate CAD system.
1992 Over 21,000 seats of Unigraphics are being used worldwide.
1996 Unigraphics V11.0 is released with enhancements in Industrial Design and Modeling including Bridge Surface, Curvature Analysis for Curve and Surfaces, Face Blends, Variable Offset Surface, etc. In the area of Assembly Modeling the new capabilities include Component Filters, Faceted Representations, and Clearance Analysis between multiple Components. A fully integrated Spreadsheet linked to Feature-Based Modeling is also included..
2002 First release of the new "Next Generation" version of Unigraphics and I-DEAS, called NX, beginning the transition to bring the functionality and capabilities of both Unigraphics and I-DEAS together into a single consolidated product.
2007 Introduction of Synchronous Technology in NX 5.
2011 Release of NX8 on October 17-2011
2013 Release of NX9 (x64 only) on October 14-2013
