New updates for NX in 2024.
Tune in to this year’s annual What’s New in NX premiere to learn about all the latest and greatest features and enhancements added through the continuous release cycle of NX software. Featuring cloud SaaS products like NX X and Zel X, generative and AI-enabled design tools, and the future of immersive design.
NX X - Cloud-based product engineeringem
Access NX’s industry-leading product engineering resources in the cloud with NX X.
During the premiere, we’ll first show you how you can leverage the cloud for your CAD workflows. Centralized cloud license management reduces IT complexity to give you extra flexibility. You can install NX X on your desktop or even stream the software in your browser via AWS cloud services.
Fully integrated and secure data management lets you share and collaborate with colleagues and partners directly within the NX X interface. Built on Siemens’ Teamcenter X software and as part of Siemens Xcelerator as a Service, NX X makes it easier than ever to level up your product lifecycle management (PLM) capabilities.
Flexible and scalable licensing
Get the most out of NX and NX X with value-based licensing.
Add-on modules already add additional capabilities to the core NX functionality, tailored for specialized and advanced use cases. Value-based licensing provides flexible, scalable, and affordable access to these modules when and how you need them.
The way it works is simple. You get a pool of tokens, and each additional module costs a certain number of tokens to use. These tokens are "taken out" as you use a module, and returned to your pool for use in another module when you're done.
You start with enough tokens to cover your current module needs, and then easily add more as your organization grows or your engineering needs evolve.
Almost all of the functionality demonstrated in this year’s video is available through value-based licensing. All you need to do to access the new features with your existing tokens is upgrade to the latest version of NX!
Cross-domain collaboration
Collaborate in innovative ways with NX X, value-based licensing, and powerful Siemens Xcelerator integrations.
Integrated data management in NX X means seamless change management and release workflows, while value-based licensing gives every expert the tools they need, when they need them.
This year’s video also highlights how NX’s interoperability with other Siemens Xcelerator solutions ensures efficient communication throughout the product lifecycle.
We show you how you can integrate Zel X, Siemens’ web-based engineering platform, into your design and manufacturing workflows, giving every team cost-effective access to the right level of functionality.
Also noteworthy is the Managed Environment for Electronics Design, which brings together a set of Siemens Xcelerator products, such as NX, Teamcenter and Xpedition.
Visualize mechatronic animations in high fidelity
Mechatronics Concept Designer is an NX add-on module that allows you to model, simulate, and validate machine designs with multi-body physics and automation-related behavior.
Now you can see accurate simulations of your designs in motion with NX Immersive Explorer, based on data from Mechatronics Concept Designer.
AI-enabled design
Improve and accelerate your processes by leveraging AI-enabled design tools in NX.
A range of AI-powered design and simulation capabilities are introduced, such as Topology Optimization, Performance Predictor, and Gyroid modeling.
Tools like these bring together AI capabilities like Command Prediction and Selection Prediction that can significantly increase efficiency in your routine workflows.
Generative and AI-enabled design
Tools like Topology Optimization, Lattice Designer, and Implicit Modeling don’t just automate workflows. They can optimize your designs and create complex geometry beyond the capabilities of traditional CAD methods.
Watch the video below to see these add-on modules in action as part of a generative design workflow, or read on for more details.
Topology optimization
You can now watch the optimization process generate geometry live in the Graphics Window. This is a very intuitive way to assess progress and choose a suitable point to complete the optimization.
Simply select View in the Solution Progress Monitor.
Topology Optimization can now also automatically create blends between building bodies and the design space based on the specified voxel size. Choose the Auto-transition Blend option in the Building Body dialog box.
You can also optimize for a wider range of manufacturing techniques. The Multi-Axis Tooling option in the Shape Constraint dialog now supports 5-axis milling.
Implicit Modeling
Two new commands have been added to Implicit Modeling in this new version:
Set Resolution – Use this to set the voxel size for any selected implicit bodies.
Unit Cell – Creates a triply periodic body with one body, for use by the Body Lattice command outside the Implicit Modeling task environment.
The Unite command also has some new functionality. You can now choose between three types of blending between the target and tool bodies – Continuous, Circular, or Angular.
Lattice Designer
When creating Voronoi networks, you can now specify which pore size distribution to use.
Uniform, variable and Gaussian pore distributions are available.
The Filter Lattice command now offers even more flexibility. You can filter lattices by thickness or aspect ratio.
There’s also the all-new Connect Dangling Rods command. It automatically connects the open ends of hanging rods to help prevent issues during additive manufacturing.
You can choose a maximum rod length, a maximum number of rods per connection, and use a closest or random distribution.
COMING SOON: NX Immersive Designer
Get ready to experience 3D CAD in the industrial metaverse. Design while you’re in the room with your model. Take innovation to new levels. Learn more about the upcoming NX Immersive Designer software and the Sony XR head-mounted display, tailored for NX controllers.
