Convergent Modeling
Convergent modeling technology in NX gives anyone the ability to perform faceted-based modeling without the need for data conversion. By combining facet, surface and solid modeling in a single integrated environment, NX eliminates the need for reverse engineering. Simply model with topology optimization results directly. Convergent Modeling, compared with traditional modeling techniques, is 10 times faster.
Equation-driven Modeling
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.
Synchronous Technology
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.
Topology Optimization & Generative Design
Create and optimize a new generation of products by taking performance requirements into account from the start. Compressed schedules often force engineers to choose the first feasible design option. By mimicking nature’s evolutionary approach, generative design empowers you to identify the best design sooner while reducing the number of iterations needed.
Automated calculations iterate until optimized geometry is achieved. The resulting organic shapes are lightweight and meet all performance requirements. NX also uses HEEDS® multidisciplinary design exploration software to automate the design exploration process.
