UNIGRAPHIX-NX
Siemens NX, often referred to as NX or Unigraphics NX, is a high-end, integrated software suite developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software for CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering). It is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and engineering design.
CAD (Design)
- 3D Modeling – Solid and surface modeling tools for creating complex mechanical components.
- Drafting – 2D drawing generation with associative dimensions and annotations.
- Synchronous Modeling – Allows for fast, intuitive editing of models regardless of their history.
- Assemblies – Advanced tools to manage large and complex assemblies with relationships and constraints.
- CAM (Manufacturing)
- Toolpath Generation – Supports milling, turning, drilling, and multi-axis machining.
- Post-processing – Generates G-code for CNC machines.
- Simulation – Visualize and validate machining operations before actual execution.
- CAE (Engineering Analysis)
- Structural Analysis – Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for stress, strain, and deformation.
- Thermal Analysis – Evaluate temperature effects.
- Motion Simulation – Study kinematics and dynamics of assemblies.
