Freeform Shape Modeling is made up of powerful features that allow you to build a custom solution. Read more about these features below.
Advanced Shape Analysis
Evaluate the analytical and visual quality of complex shapes with the real-time analysis functions of NX. The real-time graphical displays accelerate evaluation and help guide modifications to improve shape quality.
Class A
Advanced functions extend the freeform toolset to include synchronous sculpting of surfaces and solids with a unique history-based class A methods. For exterior and interior Class A surfaces, we provide pole manipulation and surface alignment tools while giving you full control and real-time analysis of surface quality.
Hybrid Modeling
With NX hybrid modeling, you can develop freeform designs using any combination of modeling techniques from a broad toolset.
- Create conceptual layouts quickly from raster images or CAD sketches, using curves and sections to extrude, loft, revolve and extend the geometry.
- Create surfaces from meshes of curves.
- Use parametric, feature-based design tools to build details, with advanced features like styled blends.
- Edit faces with synchronous freeform modeling, sculpting solids by moving iso-parameter curves and poles with push-and-pull simplicity
