Designcenter NX Reviews & Product Details

I like the best about Designenter NX is how powerful and versatile it is for real engineering work. Whether its modeling, drafting, assemblies, or validating designs, the tool are reliable and easy to use.

I also like the super-fast implementation capabilities of this software while implementing it into multiple workflows.

I am using this software very frequently almost 5-6 hours a day for design & customization. Also, the Designcenter NX is very easy to integrate with PLM platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing i find challenging in NX is that some commands can feel overwhelming for new users.

Also , when working with heavy files or complex models, performance can slow down if the hardware is not strong enough, but for this type of issue siemens technical team is always there for quick support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the tight integration between CAD and FEM models which totally avoids any kind of exporting and importing needs for conducting FEA analysis. The graphics and its ability to handle large assemblies have improved over the years. And I also love the model cleanup tools where I was able to delete similar sized features all in one click as it detects and selects all the instances automatically once I select the feature. This significantly reduces the preprocessing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My last responce on this has not improved yet. Still I have to search for a specific command to access it. For example 'Custom Symbol' command. Commands should not repeat in different workbench. Serious Improvement is need in Command Organization. Sketch tool constraints are too annoying. For example, deleting relations for a curve is a headache..Once I click a curve or line, user should have clear list of constraints on that curve..User should be able delete them easily.

It is simple to use and pretty quickly you are able to get the hang of modeling in Siemens NX 12 in the CAD environment. There is modeling, assembly, layouts, constraints, reference sets, arrangements and sequencing that help you better visualize your models within an assembly. It is a super simple implementation with SAP PLM environment and is used weekly if not on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really have a downside for siemens NX CAD other than that you are limited to what you can design because of licensing. There is a lot more potential for the CAD environment but depending on what your field/company needs that's all they'll buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am an engineering manager leading a 12-member team of product design and packaging design engineers who use NX in our day-to-day work. NX is easy to learn and adopt compared to other tools. We use it for connector design, and in my experience it’s the best tool ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NX is sometimes very difficult for metal design. We use it to design crimp terminals, but certain parts of the workflow feel hard to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the version of 2412, by allowing for selection of similar edges it is more faster for modeling. This is really good point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In version NX2412, the movement of components seems not smooth. To move a component i have to turn on and off feature for allowing to use contraints. That leads to in some cases, i forget to turn feature on for using the contraints again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried new things in design centre nx such as mechanical routing, that is very easy to use and from library we can add pipes, tubes and flanges.

And also used synchronous modelling for modification in part privious sketch and all.seamless connection with Team centre for PLM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and pack and go like in other software we can easily do pack and go. In reverse engineering add some commands to easily convert any complex geometry in less time. Optimize large assembly handling with better memory management and incremental loading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The addition of integrations for cloud and AI truly stands out as a game changer.

Specifically the Copilot integration and ability to plugin other AI tools throught customization is really helpful. NX copilot can automate tasks, suggest best practices and guide users.

Also automating 2D deawing generation using AI tools improves productivity.

There have also been significant performance improvements, which are noticeable throughout the software. Additionally, the enhancements made to sheet metal features are quite substantial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though AI tools are really helpful but needs lot of data to train them. This is especially true for niche product development where existing data is limited.

New UI's are packed with features but takes time to get used to it and for old users this is frustrating.

Still surface modeling is limited. Surface modeling doesn't offer deep control and is still inferior to 3DExperience.

Performance issues are observed especially for functionalities that rely on cloud because of latency.

Also cost is high compared to other competitors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have improved the Customer support now & that is a very nice advancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any new platform in the market needs to colobrate with the others similar platforms & thus the market grows & there will be very nice opportunity to understand eachother better, connect Globally & make a better World. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NX CAD provides an advanced set of tools for product design, modeling, and simulation, all integrated into one platform. The parametric modeling, assembly management, and drafting features are extremely accurate and reliable. It is particularly strong in handling large and complex assemblies without slowing down. The user interface, once you get familiar with it, allows seamless transitions between design, simulation, and manufacturing modules, making it a comprehensive solution for engineering teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software requires a steep learning curve for new users, and training is often necessary to unlock its full potential. Licensing costs can be high for smaller organizations, and updates sometimes introduce minor compatibility issues. The interface, while powerful, can feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use nx since my first job(6+yr experience).

Na cad Capability to Handle large assembly is impressive.

Easy to customize shortcuts and ui.

A-Surface editing options is also very easy and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to update tutorials for their new features.

And update some sketch and curves Comands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
