NX Design Flexibility
Flexibility to use the best tool for your
design task in a single environment
delivers maximum productivity
Parametric feature based modeling
• Sketch Based Workflows
• Feature Based
Synchronous Technology
• Fast design evolution
• Increased data reuse from other
CAD systems
• Fully integrated with feature modeling
Freeform modeling
• Flexible approaches to generate
complex shapes
“The difference lies in the way the
functionality is made available. And in this
respect NX scores high, as our people use it
with pleasure.”

NX Feature Modeling
Combining 2D Sketch Based
Workflows & 3D Features for
maximum productivity
Sketch Based Workflows
• 2D geometry  Extrude,
Revolve, Sweep
• Boolean operations (Unite,
Revolve, Intersect etc.)
3D Features
• Holes, slots, bosses, threads etc.
• Blends
Sketch & Extrude with
implicit Boolean
Advanced blending

Synchronous Technology
• No need to understand model history,
and feature Relationships-dependencies
in order to
make a change
• Modification and constraints are
applied directly to model geometry
(faces, edges) increasing flexibility
• Efficient response to model changes
• Easy to modify imported models
when needed
• Fully integrated with parametric
feature based workflow
• Solves complex core design issues
like draft and blends

Synchronous Technology
Productive Design That is Easy To Use
Synchronous technology enables
• Simple, direct pull/push tools for
editing and creation
• Modify a part – even if you don’t
know how it was created
• Select and drag with
real time preview
• Immediate feedback on
design changes
• Add intelligence to dumb data

Freeform Modeling
Combining fast, up-front styling
concept creation with detailed
freeform shape generation can
reduce time to production
Better quality surface definition
improves manufacturability and
part quality
Advanced visualization capabilities
help you understand true impact
of product shape decisions
Simple… Fast… Flexible
Simple to use tools
Immediate feedback
High quality
visualization
Better
designs in
less time

Simulation Data and Process Management
Link simulation results to requirements
Linking CAE results to requirements
• Increases understanding of
analysis feedback
• Simulation results are linked to HD3D
tools including:
• Requirements Validation
• CheckMate
• Visual Reporting
Leveraged by Product Template Studio
and NX Modeling Optimization
HD3D tags show
requirements
validation failures
Tags can link to
additional information
on test procedures

HD3D Check-Mate
Automated and managed design validation
Greatly streamlined interaction for
executing validations and reviewing
higher-fidelity results
• Hundreds of checks out of the box
• New checks easily added using
Knowledge Fusion and or
NX Open API
• Tailored report generation
tools included
• Teamcenter management of checks
and check results

NX: The Flexibility To Re-use More Data
Between parts
From Reuse Library
With NX re-use data in a number
of ways
• Within the same part
• Between parts
• Added to the Reuse Library
• and shared
Enables decomposition and
reassembly workflow
• Helps achieve desired results faster
• NX reusable elements are easy to
edit because behaviour isn’t defined
at creation time

NX Enables Re-use and Adaptation
Quickly find data from a variety
of sources
• Teamcenter classification capabilities
• NX Reuse Library provides quick
access to re-usable design data
throughout the design process
• Geolus Search - shape indexing
software will run a search against
your database to come up any with
pre-existing parts that can be reused
• Shape search improves productivity
by locating more parts to re-use

Product Template Studio
Product Template Studio makes it easy to
create reusable packages of engineering
knowledge that can contain
• Part and assembly designs
• Embedded validation of the newly
adapted design
• Embedded analyses verifying
functional performance
• Embedded documentation describing
the design for manufacturing
• Reusable design elements accelerate
product development

19. Multi-CAD Data Uses Important Resources

Carry-over
Over 80% of a designer's time in a
CAD system is spent editing and
creating geometry
To be productive, you have to find
effective ways of:
• Quickly designing and
modifying designs
• Editing and adapting models
retrieved from long-term archival
storage (carry-over, legacy)
• Editing models received from other
CAD systems (Multi-CAD data)
