Visualization & Virtual Reality (VR)

An immersive 3D environment provides a range of visualization modes. These modes can be used to display a proper visual twin of your data as it moves along the digital thread, matching your workflow with full associativity. Ensure an optimized balance between speed, quality and performance with NX.

Immersive CAD Design

Use a fast and highly interactive visual display to make your interactions and reviews more efficient. It is important to easily interact with your model and quickly identify modeling and assembly features without requirements to set up lighting, materials and environments. A simple and clear visualization is important when using features such as highlighting and product manufacturing information (PMI).

Design review

When reviewing designs with colleagues, fast and interactive displays are still important, but visual quality is also essential. NX enables users to communicate materials, simulate lighting and show designs in a realistic environment. With direct NX integration, all visual assets are managed and associated alongside the engineering model. NX enables you to dynamically visualize and inspect a realistic visualization of your models, helping you understand design intent, make better decisions and shorten the design cycle for more innovation.

Presentation

When it comes to high-end visualization, NX includes best-in-class rendering technology. Create high-quality content for multiple use cases with physically based materials, HDRI environments and camera controls. NX enables users to create realistic and photorealistic renders for design reviews, marketing or sales collateral and catalogs. These images can be used anywhere throughout the design process, providing transparency at different stages and speeding up time to market.

Collaborate

Take design review participation to the next level of immersion with support for multi-user VR (virtual reality) sessions combined with spatial audio integration. Hosts can collaborate with multiple users across different geographical locations, allowing teams to save time and travel costs while developing a shared understanding of designs and enabling faster iteration cycles.

One-click to VR

Leverage your managed NX engineering data and maintain the digital thread with fully-integrated NX Virtual Reality. NX Virtual Reality is accessible in one-click with no data preparation or time-consuming exports required. This integrated workflow saves you time and effort, enabling your teams to focus on value-added activities.

Work at human scale

Make the transition from the traditional 2D world to an immersive 3D experience as seamless as possible with a range of tools and features. Access dynamic controller tooltips for quick and easy guidance while selecting and isolating part properties to truly understand the complexities of a full-scale model. Specialized navigational controls help anyone, irrespective of experience in VR environments, to navigate around a scene with ease, resulting in highly effective design reviews.
