CAD software offers enhanced simulation capabilties

摘要

Siemens PLM Software has announced the latest release of NX I software for computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM) and engineering analysis (CAE). NX 8 includes extensive enhancements to its CAE offering - including its widely used NX Nastran software for solving challenging simulation problems. NX 8 offers new solutions for optimisation and multi-physics analysis, along with new methods for analysing complex assemblies. Enhancements to NX Nastran include improvements in nonlinear and dynamic analysis, as well as increases in computational performance and modelling functionality. Systems-level simulation improvements streamline finite element assembly management and expand high performance computing capacity for computational fluid dynamics analysis. Enhancements to the NX 8 manufacturing capabilities include new or extended functionality focused on both machinery and tooling design, such as optimised NC programming for machinery and heavy equipment part production, along with improvements that combine tooling design automation with CAEbased validation tools.
