NX integration with Teamcenter is the best thing i like about it. Assembly and wire harness is super easy to use without any complications.

The scale of the learning curve is hard to address for users of other systems. Veteran CAD users can find some functions do not worth the same way as in other pieces of software and can cause problems if the user is not aware of the differences.

    Tracing the Evolution of NX Across the Decade: A User Perspective

    5.0
    Jan 30, 2025
    I have been working with NX for 7-8 years (CAD, Harness, Drafting, Sheetmetal, Assembly etc) i have witnessed the improvement of the tool, from NX 7.5 to NX 2027. The user interface is super friendly. Search bar is properly optimized for command searches. I was also able to insert VB scripts for minor automation. Sometimes we encounter graphics issues which get sorted when we update the display. Overall it has enhanced my design thinking and my ability to come up with design concepts.

    5.0
    May 14, 2024
    Siemens NX is the one of the powerful products for CAD, CAM CAE analysis. I have been using this software for the last 1 year. There are a wide range of tools for 3D modeling, like prometric, synchronous & freedom surface modeling. we can also perform various types of simulation and analysis through this product like structural analysis, thermal analysis, fluid flow simulation etc. this product is also allowing us to work on the same project simultaneously so we can ensure that we securely manage and control throughout the project lifecycle.
