These sources of interpretation error from your eliminating the need to re-enter this simple to use tools can be leveraged to design environment and by speeding the information. quickly validate design changes as the process you use to take your designs to product evolves. manufacturing.
Routed systems design NX provides tools that enable designers to create and validate routed subsystems for both mechanical and electrical designs. Mechanical routing tools and libraries are available for tubing, piping and steelwork. Electrical routing tools enable designers to place wiring, conduit and raceways while standard component libraries are available for electrical systems. NX electrical routing includes wire harness design and manufacturing support, eliminating the need for physical prototype and reducing product development time by allowing designers to perform interface checks, validate design rules, visualize the routing pattern in 3D and trace the location of specific wires and connections.
NX maintains associative links between the P&ID layout and the 3D systems to ensure that system logic is maintained. Designers can quickly apply logical design changes to Designers can use NX to directly include complete PMI on a 3D design model, thereby improving the routed system. Routed systems are communications and accelerating downstream applications. fully associative to NX assemblies to facilitate design changes. Automated bill of material and other reporting provide information for subsystem manufacturing.
