the NX design

NX is an interactive Computer-Aided Design, Computer-Aided Manufacturing, and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) system. The CAD functions automate the normal engineering, design, and drafting capabilities found in today's manufacturing companies. The CAM functions provide NC programming for modern machine tools using the NX design model to describe the finished part. The CAE functions provide a number of product, assembly, and part performance simulation abilities, across a broad range of engineering disciplines.

NX functions are divided into "applications" of common capabilities. These applications are supported by a prerequisite application called NX Gateway. Every NX user must have NX Gateway; however, the other applications are optional and may be configured to meet the needs of each individual user.

NX is a fully three-dimensional, double precision system that allows you to accurately describe almost any geometric shape. By combining these shapes, you can design, analyze, and create drawings of your products.

Once the design is complete, the Manufacturing application allows you to select the geometry describing the part, enter manufacturing information such as cutter diameter, and automatically generate a cutter location source file (CLSF), which can be used to drive most NC machines.
