NX users have a range of visualization modes that can be used to display an appropriate Visual Twin of their data as it moves along the Digital Thread matching their workflow with full associativity.  Users can easily switch between these visualization modes at the click of a button to ensure an optimized balance between speed, quality and performance.

NX offers an expert personal assistant that uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to track and learn from user actions. It then predicts the NX commands the user will likely use next based on the context of what they are currently doing and then presents those commands on a compact adaptive UI panel. For example, if you’re doing something in sheet metal, it knows that a certain sequence of commands are being used within sheet metal, or tool design, or casting design… It then starts presenting commands to you that it thinks you’re going to use next. It actually understands that there is a sequence.

Certain functional surfaces and solids are most easily defined using mathematical equations.  Functional examples include optical surfaces, cam profiles, airfoil geometry, and any other geometry for which you can define the math.  Equation-driven geometry can be defined using robust 3D plotting tools in NX Maple and then associatively incorporated into NX designs for further refinement, using Convergent Modeling. NX Maple can easily handle algebraic math, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and much more.  You’ll have final control over the smoothness or resolution of equation-driven geometry created by NX Maple.  And the intellectual property defined by NX Maple worksheets can easily remain managed within Teamcenter.

Modeling is amazingly fast and intuitive with NX – you have the freedom to modify 3D geometry without understanding how models were constructed using simple push-and-pull methods. For greater versatility, you can use synchronous modeling interchangeably with all other CAD modeling tools – on NX models or geometry from any other source.

From concept design through engineering and manufacturing, NX gives you an integrated toolset that coordinates disciplines, preserves data integrity and design intent, and streamlines the entire process.

NX is available via perpetual licensing, subscription, and rental options. Deployment options include on-premise, or a virtualized environment or a streamed service from a public cloud provider. Rather than a large up-front investment in a perpetual license, Cloud Connected Products provide the option to purchase an annual or monthly subscription. Flexible cloud-connected licensing and automatic updates make it easy to manage NX use in your organization, reducing IT and maintenance expenses.
