Why NX as a Technology Platform?
NX is built on the most modern architecture of any major
CAD/CAM/CAE solution
Every NX release is customer deployment ready
NX is an open solution that “plugs and plays” with your
existing IT systems
NX enables you to use data from previous NX and
Unigraphics releases in the current release
• Goes back to the first Unigraphics release (circa 1984)

NX Design Strengths
• Integrated toolset – “It was the only alternative where we did not have to buy
additional plug-ins or third party products to fulfil the demands”
• Synchronous Technology – “For editing imported or old models and for CAE
pre-processing”
• Leadership in Generative Design, Convergent ModelingTM, and Design for
Additive Manufacturing
• Product Stability – “Not a single corruption through 100s of major design
changes”
• Design Versatility – “You can work in a more innovative way, combining the
capabilities of Alias, SolidWorks, and Space Claim in a single tool”
Design more efficiently with NX than any
competitive software.

Product design require management of the
relationships between components. NX offers tools to
simplify the creation, editing of inter-part relationships.
• Product Interfaces defines geometry that can be
referenced by other components
• WAVE Geometry Linking associatively copies
geometry between components
• WAVE tools simplifies the process of creating and
editing inter-part relationships
• Relations Browser, Sync Links
• Replacement Assistant
Collaborative Design within Assembly Context
NX Product Interface and WAVE linking tools
ensure the right information is being shared.

Design reuse is the key to achieving engineering
targets … delivering the right product, on schedule
and at cost.
• Copy / Paste - quickly reuse design features
• User Defined Feature - define and manage
standard design features
• Geolus – 3D Shape/Attribute based search engine
• Product Template Studio – define and manage
reusable assemblies
Design Reuse
Design reuse is an essential tool enabling top
performers to hit engineering targets.

Complex designs can be simplified by breaking them
up into modules based on function or region. Part
features are organized within isolated groups and can
be distributed to multiple designers and worked on
concurrently.
Part Modules enables 2 key capabilities:
• Local Edit / Update enables designers to effectively
work with parts with 1000s of features
• Team Design enables complex parts to be designed
concurrently by multiple designers
Modular Design
Modular designs simplifies complex designs
and enables faster design creation and
changes.

ANIMA AB, SWEDEN
Kronaby Connected Watches
The team behind Anima had experience of PLM systems and
understood early on how important it is with a powerful CAD and
PLM support to get out quickly into the market. With the help of
NEXTAGE, Anima chose NX CAD to design its watches, and
Teamcenter PLM to handle its product information.

”…NX was the tool that met our demands to the highest
degree…”, says Gustav Holmström.
”But NX actually got cheaper in the end. With NX we did not need
to purchase extra functionality or software from third party
vendors.”
“The tools for design and production are future proofed with NX”,
says Gustav Holmström.
“We have also bought a 3D printer to be able to manufacture and
test physical models before we for example order a mold. In
addition, NX helps us with our wind simulations to guarantee the
security for those who are in the tents.”

“NX Synchronous Modeling enables direct manipulation of
surfaces based on parametric NX or imported Multi-CAD data”
“NX automatically finds and recognizes design features – holes,
ribs, flanges, pockets, offset surfaces, etc. to allow editing”
“Fast and easy editing of any Catia V4 parts … faster editing [in
NX] than a V4 or V5 re-build”
“Add intelligence
where needed to
make a smart
part”
