If you are currently using or considering adopting NX 12, focusing on these high-end capabilities will allow you to:
The following features define the "quality" and performance jump in this version:
: A new rendering engine supports physically based rendering, significantly improving material quality and lighting accuracy. Photoreal "Gold" Mode ug nx 12 extra quality
Running NX 12 at extreme precision demands robust hardware. For "extra quality" workflows, recommend:
If you have imported surfaces or sheet bodies that you want to turn into "extra quality" solids: If you are currently using or considering adopting
Create a macro that runs all seven "extra quality" tests in sequence. A single keystroke activates your quality checklist.
: A fully integrated tool to animate moving parts in assemblies. It includes automatic collision detection , which improves product quality by identifying physical interference before prototyping. A single keystroke activates your quality checklist
Running the extra-quality routine, she watched datasets stream across the monitor: mesh density maps, contact pair reports, tolerance propagation, and a hidden gem—manufacturing intent notes from an old engineer named Chen, who’d retired two years earlier. Chen had commented on a tricky chamfer he’d fought for on the first release. His note said: “Keep material relief here; machinist requests matter.”
What pairs are you using to run these toolpaths?
Users can now work with multiple parts in a tabbed layout, allowing for easy comparison and "change impact analysis" across different screens.
NX 12's rendering and visualization tools allowed users to produce presentation-quality assets directly from design data:
