Designcenter Reviews & Product Details

I like that Designcenter NX allows us to create fully detailed models for design and manufacturing. I really appreciate its integration with many other systems including Manufacturing, PLM, FEA, PD, and Test, which means we can start tool paths and fixtures before the design is complete.

Stability and performance issues with Designcenter NX are a bit frustrating. Models can take over an hour to update, and many blends that should work end up failing. Also, the initial setup could have been better if we had more standards set up before starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Designcenter offers more modules to leverage, providing comprehensive solutions for all phases such as modeling, analysis, and costing. This capability helps me develop products faster, especially when using it alongside NX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there needs to be an improvement in the integration with Teamcenter. Also, civil building tasks didn't develop as fast as desired, which led our team to switch from Designcenter to Revit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Designcenter is its powerful Siemens design software and seamless design experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is the learning curve and occasional complexity in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It very user friendly, the UI looks pretty cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. Whatever Siemens introduces, they nail it. Nothing different in this case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ease of use with Designcenter, which makes it straightforward to navigate. Additionally, the initial setup was quite easy, making it convenient to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the AI integration in Designcenter to be lacking. I use Copilot for routine stuff, but I want it to handle more engineering tasks. It would be great if the AI could take on more complex drafting work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Designing the product in the easiest way, with the latest functionalities like Immersive, helps me realize the designs instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They way the Token licenses are bundled, there are features like VSA supposed to be there with design but those are listed under Manufacturing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the user interface of Designcenter NX, especially the icon shapes, their location, and organization. The ability to change the user interface and where the icons can be located is great. I also appreciate the simplicity of learning new modules within the software and the precision of the CAD modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely the Sheet Metal application feels limited in the functions it does, especially for aerospace products. I would like to have reuse libraries integrated into the Sheet Metal application. The function of the three bend corner is very limited; it should work better for angles different than 90 degrees or complex angle intersections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Designcenter NX for testing, validation, and writing of business processes for engineering, and I appreciate that it provides the production equivalent tools our teams use to design parts, systems, and larger assemblies. I find its operation critical to maintaining our digital thread and overall company performance. What I like most about Designcenter NX is that it is very responsive and connected across platforms, which is a huge advantage over other options. I also enjoy the wave linking simplicity and usability, which can be difficult to manage in other programs. Additionally, the initial setup was simple, although it is not managed directly by the user at our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NXOpen is an option for custom behavior in NX, however if it could more easily integrate with programs and packages from a Python language, that would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Designcenter NX for its ability to support processes and workflows of clients across different scales, including SMEs, Tier 1 vendors, and OEMs. It offers intuitive interfaces for novices and efficiency modeling paradigms for SMEs, while scaling on the same data model for larger enterprises with expert engineers solving complex problems, enabling seamless OEM-vendor collaboration. I appreciate the automation of design workflows and model preparation for downstream processes such as CAE, CAM, AM, Mfg, and Quality. Additionally, having used Designcenter NX for a long time, I've built several customizations on top of it, making it natural to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think there are many at this time. I would like to see more AI-based automation of mundane tasks as well as copilots for navigating complex modeling needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After few years I think that the most friendly CAD software is the one that you use day by day. As I stopped use NX in my work, I still remember most features and I like it, but think that things change and there are other software example that are even more friendly like Fusion form Autodesk.

A lot of users claims about proccess of licensing. A price is a little bit higher than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
