Push your designs to new limits
with speed and efficiency

Reduced emissions, improved fuel economy, weight reduction and alternative technologies all demand faster and more efficient innovation in automotive products. You can’t afford to slow development with unproductive design methods and technology. NX™ software, the product development system from Siemens PLM Software, can help you design and deliver improved products, and respond quickly and insightfully to new market opportunities and challenges.
NX is an advanced computer-aided design, engineering and manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) solution that offers power, control and performance to improve and accelerate automotive design and manufacturing processes. The CAD tools in NX are tailored to meet the requirements of a broad automotive customer base, and include special-purpose capabilities for automotive engineering.
Proven value for automotive design
With proven value for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers, NX delivers solutions to nearly every major automaker and many Tier 1 manufacturers. Thirty of the top 50 global automotive suppliers use NX for design.
Speed and efficiency throughout design
With NX you work in one unified environment, using the same model data in each stage of product development, from concept through manufacturing.
You can improve speed and efficiency throughout the entire automotive design process with NX. Integrated tools in a single system support all areas of automotive design:
• Concept styling
• Vehicle packaging and interiors design
• Class A surfacing
• Powertrain
• Body design
• Chassis design
• Component and assembly design
• Routed systems design
• Drafting and documentation
• Tool and fixture design
• Design and manufacturing validation
• Digital mockup
• Data collaboration and migration
Integrated simulation and manufacturing
NX is a complete product development solution, with industry-leading capabilities for simulation/CAE and manufacturing. When you design with NX, you create master models that are used directly in NX engineering and production. Because all applications are dynamically associated with the design, your teams can work concurrently and accelerate change as the design develops.



Faster design with product lifecycle management

With NX, you can use visual tools to gather data, organize information and present it in the context of the 3D product model to better inform and accelerate decision making.
You company’s agility and productivity can be improved with robust organization and management of your product information and design processes. When you design with NX, you can use Teamcenter® software and its leading product lifecycle management (PLM) tools to manage engineering data and processes, materials and requirements. These capabilities are seamlessly integrated within NX; designers can use them quickly and efficiently in a transparent manner while developing your product.
