![]() Considering how they control a lot of what makes SolidWorks and others tick (Parasolid, D-Cubed DCM, simulation tools like FLOEFD) does seem to make them the obvious choice if money is no concern. Siemens has claimed to have the largest dev team, most patents filed etc. for purchased parts)Įven with the concerns about NX being built on top of an ancient codebase, it (finally) looks modern and seems to be thriving at the moment. Better than most at importing neutral formats and effective tools for cleaning geometry (e.g. How multiple NX versions and custom environments can be installed side-by-side on the same computer without too much hassle How site/user preferences are stored and managed How NX expressions can be used for pretty much any parameter or input field (where SolidWorks' equations have been more limited, like not working for certain patterns) ![]() How part attributes/properties can be defined with proper data types (including body/face/edge attributes which don't even exist in SolidWorks as far as I know, they can be very useful for design automation) The designs I do with are not very advanced or anything that can't be done efficiently in SolidWorks, but I just appreciate the granular control NX provides for my design data and how certain functionality is implemented. I use SolidWorks in my present job and have enjoyed using it in the past, but I have also worked as a Siemens VAR, so I may have become a bit biased. But after having used both on and off for some years, NX just feels like a technologically superior product even for simple tasks. When I first learned the basics of NX and SolidWorks in university about 10 years ago, I preferred SolidWorks for its UI and sketching in particular, with NX 8 - 9 looking like some old-school Win 98 software.
