Warning

Nightly releases are generated automatically from the latest source code and are intended for experimental purposes only. These builds may contain incomplete or untested features, bugs, or security vulnerabilities, and as such, are not for production use. Users should be aware that nightly releases may cause unexpected behavior, data loss, or system instability. Use of these releases is at the user's own risk, and it is advised to have adequate backups before testing. The software is provided as is with no guarantees or support.

Siemens NX

Siemens NX is a CAD/CAM/CAE software suite developed by Siemens PLM Software. It is used for design, engineering analysis, and manufacturing. Similar to Catia V5, NX is a native format built for the Siemens NX software suite. It can store and contain all information relevant within NX workflows.

Extensions

• .prt

Structure

NX files are binary files and can be monolithic or nested. A .prt-file can describe either a single part or an assembly. Both are supported by instant3Dhub.

Geometry

TBD

Tesselation

TBD

B-Rep

TBD

PMI & Model Views

TBD

Metadata

TBD

Miscellaneous

As a native format, a multitude of different information of different concepts in the NX Modeler can be stored within the format. The following describe a few FAQ:

Layers

Similar to JT, layers are supported by instant3Dhub.

Assembly Constraints

In Siemens NX, constraints (also called assembly constraints) are used to define relationships between components within an assembly, restricting their degrees of freedom and ensuring correct positioning. Typical constraints are: Touch/Align, Center, Distance, Angle, Fix, etc. While instant3Dhub does not read or expose constraints, the resulting transformation of parts within the assembly is reflected and loaded.
