NX CAE - Using simulation to make faster, more informed decisions
Computer Aided Design
Effective use of digital simulation can help project managers reduce many downstream costs and risks. Often referred to as computer aided engineering, or CAE, simulation enables engineers to understand, predict, and improve product performance digitally.
More design concepts can be explored, which in turn reduces direct costs associated with expensive physical prototypes and enables faster, more informed decisions. The result is better performing products and higher margins.
Simulation Software
The keys to maximising the value of simulation applications are to use them both as early as possible and then throughout the development process. To this end, Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software offers a comprehensive suite of Digital Lifecycle Simulation solutions designed to meet the needs of multiple users within any engineering enterprise.
Product Development Software
NX’s comprehensive set of digital simulation tools enables you to integrate performance simulation earlier into your development process so you can investigate more design options and make better product decisions.
