NX CAD Certification

My certification for the Siemens NX CAD software is in progress. I am currently completing the Xcelerator Course training videos and labs offered by Siemens to increase competency and capability to use the software. A sample of a few of the concepts I have learned in the course is shown here.

Other topics covered in the course:

  1. Basic design​

    • Organize and display part models​

    • Create cylindrical parts using sketches

    • Add finishing details

    • Simple changes and part interrogation

    • Editing using synchronous

    • Bottom-up assembly building

    • Create a basic part drawing

    • Using legacy sketch with 1980

  2. Product design fundamentals

    • Establish design intent​

    • Analyze and change design

    • Create parts with constant wall thickness

    • Sweep geometry

    • Build geometry

    • Create symmetric models

  3. Molded & cast part design

    • Create molded parts

    • Build parts using surfaces​

    • Build robust models

    • Data translators

    • Edit non-parametric models

  4. Loading and working with assemblies

    • Manage assemblies​

    • Configure and assembly

    • Create reusable components

    • Create and use part families

    • View component interaction using sequencing

  5. Design in Context of an Assembly​

    • Top-down modeling​

    • Link geometry between related parts

    • Create expression links between parts

    • Revise assemblies
