Optimus Interfaces

NX-CAD

The direct interface for NX-CAD supports the efficient optimization of engineering challenges involving parametric 3D CAD modeling. It automates the creation of an engineering workflow that contains  Siemens NX model entries. A powerful embedded search engine offers dedicated filters, to simplify the selection of design parameters and result components from all NX-CAD Part Geometry, Assembly and Analysis documents – allowing for an effortless parameterization.  

​Orchestrating simulation campaigns

Optimus orchestrates parametric simulation campaigns involving  NX CAD, freeing users from repetitive manual model changes and data processing. Using Optimus’ Design of Experiments (DOE), Response Surface Modeling (RSM) and Numerical Optimization methods, engineering teams quickly identify product designs that meet a combination of objectives set by multiple (often competing) performance targets. At the same time, design constraints imposed by manufacturing realities or stringent regulatory and standardization requirements are consistently taken into account. 

​Integration in a few clicks

Optimus automatically modifies the  NX-CAD design parameters, updates the underlying Siemens NX-CAD documents and extracts the result outputs (scalar and vectors) in an automated multidisciplinary simulation or optimization process. To save valuable time during the automated simulation process, the interface for Siemens NX provides support for server mode execution, keeping the NX-CAD application open during the automated analysis sequence.

Built on Optimus’ User Customizable Interface (UCI) wrapper technology, the Optimus interface for NX-CAD allows to access all advanced parameters and versions of NX without any configuration programming - enabling the parameterization and workflow integration of any NX model with just a few clicks.
