Siemens NX for Industrial Design and Styling
Innovative Design with High-Performance Siemens NX Computer-Aided Industrial Design Software
Innovative product design is a well thought-out combination of form, fit and function that leaves customers with a positive experience each time they use a product. Distinctive design and styling gives companies a competitive advantage. Design is the key differentiator in most of today’s industries. Of course, the design must not only be visually appealing, but it must be functional, manufacturable and affordable to build, support and maintain.
Our products deliver flexible, robust computer-aided industrial design and styling software that accelerates your product engineering by providing fast concept designs that can be directly used in modeling.
Main Features of NX CAD Industrial Design Software
Shape analysis and validation
Designers can readily evaluate the analytical and visual quality of complex shapes with the real-time analysis functions of NX. Continuity and curvature checking analyze curves and surface connection quality and flow. Gap and flushness analysis measures the openings between surface panels and helps evaluate their appearance. Highlight lines and reflection contours help assess surface quality by generating reflected or projected lines from light sources, and isocline curves help analyze slope variations. The real-time graphical displays accelerate evaluation and help guide modifications to
improve shape quality.
Rendering and visualization
NX includes high-performance rendering and visualization tools that help designers explore materials, colors and textures, and visualize products in different scenes and environments. Designers can choose from a variety of real-time rendering modes to display their designs with materials, reflections, backgrounds, floors, shadows and lighting. Each rendering mode provides easy setup of a default scene with the push of a button. Real-time ray tracing produces photorealistic images with inter-object reflections, refractions and global illumination effects, and gives designers a comprehensive set of specialized visualization features.
