This system is a support tool for designers to perform product design work quickly and accurately. Furthermore, the openness and compatibility of NX allows many other application software to run directly on its environment such as Autodesk Inventor, Catia, Pro-E, Solid Edge, CADKEY, SoildWorks, Cimatron,... Outputs standard format files so users can exploit the model in other analysis software environments.
NX CAD (NX for Design) is a module package in the NX CAD/CAM/CAE solution suite. NX CAD is the most powerful, flexible and innovative product development solution in the industry, NX CAD has powerful features, performance and capabilities that help businesses bring products to market faster than ever before. by using more virtual product models and fewer physical prototypes and is less cost-effective.
1. Outstanding features of NX CAD for product design
1.1. Design interoperability
Design interoperability is made up of powerful features that allow engineers to build a custom solution.
Today, products are increasingly complex with many designs and diverse customer requirements, along with an increasing dependence on integrated electronics. Integrating mechanical, electronic and electrical components in electromechanical products is critical for aerospace, automotive, electronics, machinery and medical device manufacturers. The challenge for manufacturers is to transform their development processes to concurrent design and systems engineering methods that support collaboration across different industries.
Understanding that, SIEMENS develops NX CAD software to provide a unified platform for the field of electromechanical design. An effective ECAD-MCAD co-design process allows engineers to eliminate costly mechanical and electrical issues during new product development by providing a comprehensive picture.

1.2. Confirm design
Managers rely on the latest data to monitor progress, manage risks, address impacts and ultimately make hundreds of decisions. NX CAD can help managers ensure product quality, as well as reduce errors and process rework.
NX CAD provides intuitive product analysis and validation tools that enable managers to quickly synthesize information, check designs for compliance with requirements, and make informed decisions.

1.3. Drafting & Documentation
Quickly and easily create technical drawings from 3D models using highly efficient drafting tools in NX CAD. Drafting software automatically creates drawing views from 3D part and assembly models and helps engineers align and scale drawing views and organize drawing pages. Comprehensive annotation tools help document drawings with manufacturing requirements in mind. Advanced change tracking reduces drawing inspection time and eliminates errors. NX CAD includes powerful and efficient capabilities for 2D design, layout, drafting, annotation and documentation ideally suited for 2D, 2D/3D hybrid and 3D design environments.

1.4. Industrial Design & Styling
Innovative product design is a thoughtful combination of form, fit and function to give customers a positive experience every time they use a product. Distinctive designs and styles bring competitive advantages to businesses. Design is a key differentiator in most industries today. Of course, the design must not only be visually appealing, but it must also be functional, manufacturable, and affordable to build, develop, and maintain.
NX CAD is powerful, flexible computer-aided industrial design and styling software that accelerates product engineering by providing rapid conceptual designs that can be used directly in create samples.

1.5. Industrial electrical design
To completely design production systems requires designing electrical systems for them. NX CAD software enables complete electrical design of machines and production lines in an integrated NX environment for the most efficient overall system design.
Electrical Design in NX is a one-of-a-kind electrical design tool, designed from the ground up to enable electrical engineers to complete their designs faster and with higher quality than ever before. NX enables electrical engineers to work on the same backbone as their mechanical and software colleagues, allowing them to save time and eliminate errors.

1.6. Reuse knowledge
The challenge of product development programs is to shorten the design cycle, reduce development costs, improve productivity and increase product quality. Leading companies pursue these goals by actively applying knowledge reuse strategies. Comprehensive knowledge reuse solutions in NX support these strategies, allowing businesses to accelerate product designs and reduce costs. NX Software maximizes the value of product knowledge by helping businesses leverage it again and again.

1.7. Design mechatronics ideas
NX software in design enables a multi-disciplinary approach to machine design that breaks down barriers between electrical, mechanical and automation engineers. NX continues to revolutionize the machine design process by helping engineers design faster and with higher quality. Mechatronics Concept Designer - Mechatronics conceptual design providing end-to-end solutions that enable multi-disciplinary collaboration, reuse of existing knowledge, reduce time to market and decision making better through evaluation from concept to production.

1.8. Model-based definition
Model-based definition enables the creation of a complete digital definition of the product in a 3D model, thus replacing traditional drawings. By empowering the model as a single source for product teams, we can save valuable time by combining product and process information, while ensuring that ideas are captured. capture and fully link to the model. Compared to drawing-centric workflows, NX reduces time spent on technical documentation, leverages downstream tools for validation and manufacturing, and reduces change generation and scrap. With one source of dimensional and tolerance information, you don't need to worry about drawings and models disagreeing. Additionally, annotated 3D models are easier to understand than complex drawings, reducing the need for training and the chance for errors.

1.9. P&ID design
Process flow diagrams help design projects such as ships and factories by allowing you to determine equipment sizes and types, and demonstrate system operation at any time before committing to a 3D design.
NX allows engineers to lay out piping and instrumentation (P&ID) diagrams in two dimensions, while keeping the design tied to the 3D spatial model. P&ID Designer enables faster engineering, common libraries between diagramming and 3D, connection authentication, diagramming to 3D, and device-level data management.
1.10. Product model
Products with increasing complexity, development processes, and design teams require you to find new tools and methods to deliver greater innovation and higher quality at lower costs. Siemens Digital Industries Software's NX CAD product design software delivers power, efficiency and cost savings beyond the design process to all stages of product development.
1.11. Routing system
NX digital product development solutions include an integrated set of tools that support the entire design process for routed systems, including harnesses, cables, pipes, tubes, ducts and drain.
These process-specific tools help reduce detailed design time, improve product quality, and transfer product information seamlessly between the domains of logic design, physical design, analysis, production and services.
1.12. Design based on simulation
We are in an era where simulation is being used to synthesize and define physical designs, rather than simply evaluate and validate final designs. Manufacturers are leveraging advances in simulation technology and development processes to beat their competitors to market with higher quality, more durable products.
With NX CAD, you can embed simulation directly into your design environment and workflow.
