Siemens adds to Xcelerator portfolio with latest release of NX

Siemens Digital Industries Software launches the latest release of its industry leading NX software, part of the Xcelerator portfolio of software and services. 

The latest release of NX software leverages advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence(AI) and advanced simulation capabilities, while continuing to invest in significant productivity and capability enhancements to enable its community of designers, engineers and manufacturers to innovate more quickly.

"In the latest revision of NX, Siemens Digital Industries Software has smoothly woven topology optimization design from requirements, through to component generation, additive manufacturing, and final machining by leveraging their convergent modeling and automated model-based definition authoring for PMI generation together with task-based collaboration." said Dr. Ken Versprille, Executive Consultant, CIMdata. 

"Users will welcome the effortless user interface that guides stakeholders through each step of the process."

The new NX Topology Optimizer helps to create parts based purely on functional and design space requirements, resulting in fully editable convergent bodies that would be almost impossible to design and engineer manually. 

Inevitable design changes can be quickly made, optimizations and any downstream features updated automatically – saving time, effort and maximizing reuse of intelligence design and engineering data.

Increased Artificial intelligence(AI) & machine learning(ML) in the Selection Prediction and Select Similar commands uses shape recognition to quickly identify geometrically similar components, while the NX Voice Command Assist allows the user to invoke commands, navigate multi-level menus and operations as well as teach the system words or phrases to carry out common tasks.

"With each new release of NX, Siemens is pushing the barriers of what product development systems are capable of," said Bob Haubrock, Senior Vice President Product Engineering Software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. 

"Our shift to continuous releases of NX is proving incredibly popular with our community – enabling us to deliver industry leading capabilities more quickly than before. This means providing access to new tools and technologies so they can be applied to our customers' design, engineering and manufacturing challenges to help them overcome them more quickly. We continue to improve the core tools our customers rely on every day, with over 1,200 customer enhancement requests delivered in this release."
