    ROLL NO.- 303
    MBA-TECH MANUFACTURING
    Unigraphics NX Software
    • NX is an interactive Computer-Aided Design, Computer-
    Aided Manufacturing, and Computer-Aided Engineering
    (CAD/CAM/CAE) system.

    • NX is the commercial CAD/CAM/CAE PLM software suite


    developed by Siemens PLM Software.

    • NX is widely used in the engineering industry, especially in


    the automotive and aerospace sectors.

    • NX has some presence in the consumer goods design sector.

    2
    • The CAD functions automate the normal engineering, design,
    and drafting capabilities found in today's manufacturing
    companies.

    • The CAM functions provide NC programming for modern


    machine tools using the NX design model to describe the
    finished part.

    • The CAE functions provide a number of product, assembly,


    and part performance simulation abilities, across a broad range
    of engineering disciplines.

    Surface Modeling in Unigraphics (NX)

    Through Curves option

      This command creates a sheet or solid body


    through a set of up to 150 section strings. A
    section string can consist
            of a single object or
    multiple objects, and each object can be a curve,
    a solid edge, or a solid face. Through Curves is
    similar to a Ruled Surface, except that you can
    specify more than two section strings. You can
    also:

    Surface Modeling in Unigraphics (NX)
    Through Curve option

             This command creates a body from sets of


    primary and cross strings. Strings in each set
    must be roughly parallel to each other and non-
    intersecting. Primary strings must be roughly
    perpendicular to crossing strings

    Primary strings

    Cross strings

    Surface Modeling in Unigraphics (NX)
    N-Sided Surface option

             This option lets you build a surface


    with an unrestricted number of curves or
    edges that form a simple, open or closed
    loop, and assign continuity to outside faces.
    You can remove holes in surfaces that are
    not four-sided. Shape control options are
    available to refine sharpness at center point,
    while maintaining continuity constraints.

    Surface Modeling in Unigraphics (NX)
    Use the Studio Surface          command to create swept or lofted surfaces
    from a network of section strings, or a network of section strings and up to
    three guide strings.

                                                                                              

                                                                                      

    Section string (1), guide strings (2), and Three section strings and

     
    resulting studio surface resulting studio surface

                                                                                               
    You can modify a Studio Surface without rebuilding it by adding, removing,
                                                                                                        
    reordering, or swapping section and guide strings.
         Studio Surface also lets
    you specify constraining faces and continuity, edit surface alignment points,
    and control the transitions between surface sections.
