With NX being built on an advanced and modern technology framework you are provided with consistent updates with continuous release every sixth months. Also consider that we were the first to get certified for our openness to customize and integrate with you existing IT systems. With this said, we always try to provide innovative upgrades to help you improve your productivity and usability. Please take a look below for updates to this latest release.

Artificial Intelligence enabled features

Select Similar Components:

Identify geometrically similar components with machine learning enabled shape recognition and perform component operations.

Selection Prediction:

The selection prediction inside NX predicts input selection entities. This is a standard feature in the Mach3 Product Design and Mach 3 Industrial Design bundles. You can preview and select predicted objects using current selection intent rules. You’re also able to generate custom selection prediction machine learning models using in-house data.

NX Voice Command Assist:

With NX Voice Command Assist you are able to transform multiple levels of menus and clicks with easy-to-use single keyword expressions. Give it a try today! Watch our demonstration of this below.

Custom machine learning model generation by using your organizations existing infrastructure:

Available to you as an optional add-on module you now have the ability to gather, process and generate a custom machine learning model based upon your organizations infrastructure. Here’s how it works:
Use processed data for training a domain specific machine learning model. Test the data extractor and submit the processed data for custom machine learning model generation. Documentation and breakout sessions on-demand for testing.

User Experience and Usability

Increase your productivity with an enhanced Discover NX

Discover NX has helped thousands learn specifics within NX and we want to help push this forward to become more helpful. We’ve introduced framework that reduces the overall learning curve and promotes industry best practices based on user’s usage pattern and actions.
