What is Unigraphics NX CAD?
Unigraphics NX CAD is a part of the NX suite of software, which includes other modules such as CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), CAE (computer-aided engineering), and Teamcenter (a data management system). Unigraphics NX CAD can be used as a standalone application or integrated with other NX modules or third-party software.
Unigraphics NX CAD supports various types of design, such as parametric, direct, freeform, and synchronous modeling. It also supports various file formats, such as STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF, STL, JT, and more. You can import and export files from other CAD software easily and without losing data quality.
What are the main features and benefits of Unigraphics NX CAD?
Unigraphics NX CAD has many features and benefits that make it a superior choice for your design needs. Some of them are:
Advanced modeling capabilities: You can create complex and realistic 3D models with Unigraphics NX CAD using various tools and techniques, such as sketching, extruding, revolving, sweeping, lofting, blending, shelling, patterning, mirroring, boolean operations, and more. You can also use freeform modeling to create organic shapes with curves and surfaces. You can modify your models easily using direct editing or synchronous technology, which allows you to manipulate geometry without constraints or history.
Powerful analysis tools: You can perform various types of analysis on your models with Unigraphics NX CAD, such as interference checking, mass properties calculation, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), motion simulation, kinematics, dynamics, optimization, and more. You can also use the integrated NX Nastran solver to perform advanced structural analysis on your models.
Intelligent design automation: You can automate your design process with Unigraphics NX CAD using various features, such as expressions, formulas, equations, variables, parameters, rules, logic, functions, macros, scripts, custom commands, user-defined features (UDFs), feature-based modeling (FBM), knowledge-based engineering (KBE), generative design (GD), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and more. You can also use the built-in wizards and templates to create standard parts and assemblies quickly and easily.
Collaborative design environment: You can work with other designers and engineers on your projects with Unigraphics NX CAD using various tools and methods,
such as multi-user sessions (MUS), concurrent engineering (CE), teamcenter integration (TCI), product data management (PDM), product lifecycle management (PLM), cloud computing (CC), web-based access (WBA), data exchange (DE), data visualization (DV), data annotation (DA), data comparison (DC), data validation (DV), data security (DS), data encryption (DE), data backup (DB), data recovery (DR), and more.
