Description
The history of the system dates back to the early 1970s. The latest version of the system is the NX 12.0, which is currently being launched on the market. The development of patient-oriented medical therapies requires innovative approach to design and production of medical equipment. One of the programs that enables faster and easier updates and improvements in the processes of building a model of a medical device is NX by Siemens. It is an integrated CAD / CAM / CAE solution that can do any task you need, from scanned data to a finished product. This software significantly speeds up and facilitates work with scanned data. It can be used and modified in various processes, e.g. 3D printing and virtual clinical trials. Its use eliminates the need for extensive modifications. The designer can quickly scan the anatomical structure and use it to build a model of a medical device.
Range of usage
The development of medicine, an aging society, as well as openness to people with disabilities have resulted in the medical industry experiencing an increasing personalization of solutions - including structures adapted to the needs of patients. As a result, the demand for CAD models compatible with anatomical structures is increasing. The existing structures are scanned to 3D and a model is built around them.
Siemens NX (formerly Unigraphics) is a CAD / CAM / CAE program that enables the design of a product parametrically or non-parametrically, in solids or surfaces.
In addition to the medical sphere, the most important application areas are:
- Industrial design and styling
- Packaging designs
- Mechanical projects
- Projects of electromechanical systems
- Mechanical simulations
- Electromechanical simulations
- Designs of tools and permanent equipment
- Production
- Engineering process management
Features
NX has features that enable fast, efficient and flexible product development:
- advanced solutions for conceptual design, 3D modeling and documentation
- multidisciplinary simulations in the field of:
- structure analysis
- movement
- thermal analysis
- flow analysis and multi-physical analysis
- complete solutions to support production in the field of tooling, machining and quality control
Digital tool principles
Siemens NX uses synchronous technology for flexible design in an open environment. It is a multidisciplinary simulation tightly integrated into the product development process, and offers advanced applications for part manufacturing. In addition, NX is tightly integrated with Teamcenter - the leading product lifecycle management (PLM) platform in the world.
Medical Image Processing is an overlay dedicated to medical design. It consists of advanced features that allow you to build a custom solution. One example of the use of NX is the development of a less invasive way to repair a popular radial fracture - the intramedullary implant.
It can be considered that NX allows you to see the finished product before it actually becomes the finished product.
Siemens NX is a program that is available to logged in student users for free for a period for 30 days.
Summary
Siemens NX is one of the most comprehensive and flexible software solutions supporting the product development process in many industries. One of the most important are medicine, automotive and aviation. NX provides a rich set of modern engineering tools supporting product development at virtually every stage of its life, from concept through technical design, its analysis and digital verification, to the manufacturing process. NX enables you to create and work with assemblies, even the largest and most demanding ones. Thanks to the parameterization functions available in the program, it is possible to quickly introduce design changes and create many variants of the product.
