Introduction to NX 7.5August 13th 2010



Is Productivity an Issue?

Quick Survey

•Does your management frequently request information for product decisions?

•Does your engineering department frequently execute redundant tasks?

•Is it common for your company to see engineering changes until release?

•Does your company work with CAD Data from different sources?

•Do your engineers spend most of their time editing existing designs?

•Is more than 30% of time spent Searching for information to support decisions?

• Does your company spend time testing physical prototypes?

•Does your company have problems predicting product performance?

•Are you pressed to cut down your product development cycle times?

Product Development Productivity Redefined

Redefining CAD/CAM/CAE Productivity with NX 7

Troy Vanderhoof, Americas NX Marketing

Welcome



Sounds Like a Productivity Problem

•60% of CEO’s seek better information for product decisions

•Less than 40% of engineering man hours add value

•35% of companies continue to see engineering changes until release

•166 days on average are spent building and testing physical prototypes

•30% of time is spent Searching for information to support decisions

•85% of product information lacks product structure

•1-3 companies have problems predicting product performance

•27% of executives say lack of speed is the biggest obstacle to innovation

•95% of new product introductions fail

There is a Better Way Introducing HD3D

NX bringing HD-PLM to your product development environment. Engineers need more

than simple navigation through the product structure… they need clarity of information

Multiple Data Sources

3D Model

•60% of CEO’s seek better information for product

decisions

•Less than 40% of engineering man hours add

value

•30% of time is spent Searching for information to

support decisions

Interrogating PLM Data

Dynamic visual reporting allows you to

interactively investigate PLM metadata & in-

session attributes

HD3D Visual Reporting generates easy to

comprehend visual reports of the results from

design interrogation

Intuitive visual approach to information gathering

and impact analysis

Design review....

How much of the product is still WIP?

Ad hoc user inquiries....

Who is working on this assembly?

Context setting....

Show all Powertrain components

Information drilldown is enabled

using interactive tags and detail

dialogs.



The Value of NX in

High Definition Decision making

Easy to understand product analytics

Simplifies information analysis and understanding

making information easy to consume

Intuitive correlation and presentation of information

from multiple sources in context of the 3D model

NX dramatically improves product development decision making by

correlating information from multiple „disjoint‟ data sources into a single

highly visual, interactive environment

Requirements driven validation

Continuous validation of designs against product

requirements reduces costs, improves quality and

ensures fitness for purpose

Effective issues management

Accelerates issue resolution and reduces

ambiguity in the development process

path for converting 2D designs to 3D



Reuse what you need…when you need it

NX reusable elements are easy to edit

because behaviour isn’t defined at

creation time

Flexible intelligent reuse commands

make it simple to get the desired result

Cut, Copy, Paste, Mirror, Pattern

Pasted geometry adapts to its new

context, reducing rework and allowing

you more flexibility

NX 7 can open and modify the

following formats

Directly open and edit files from other systems!
