As we continue to bring you content highlighting the updated capabilities from the June 2025 release of Designcenter NX, we hope you\u2019re seeing massive improvements to your own workflow. In every release of Designcenter NX we strive to bring you specifically tailored features that continue to drive you and your company\u2019s innovation, all whilst giving you a more streamlined workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with that, let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s new in Designcenter NX\u2019s advanced capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance Predictor<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-1024x629.png\" alt=\"performance predictor and model in nx\" class=\"wp-image-12394\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-1024x629.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-900x553.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP.png 1176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of several tools that we\u2019re focusing on in the June 2025 release is Performance Predictor, with key enhancements to assembly design with bonded simulation connections. This update allows you to experience significant overall cost savings, reducing your time to market, and improving product quality. Advanced assembly support can seamlessly handle any complex assembly with multi-material and bonded connections. We understand that managing multi-parts can be challenging, especially when working with such large models. This is why with advanced assembly design, you can now efficiently manage your assembly regardless of it being in separate parts or combined in a single part file. In addition to improved management, you\u2019re now able to get \u2018per body results\u2019. Meaning Designcenter NX can now provide you with detailed results for each individual body within your assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other key updates around bonded simulation connections include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automatic or Manual Bonded Connection Definition to suit your workflow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GPU &amp; CPU Acceleration: Leverage the power of both GPU and CPU for faster computations and enhanced performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"574\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-assembly-support.png\" alt=\"nx topology for designer\" class=\"wp-image-12391\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-assembly-support.png 574w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/PP-assembly-support-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved connectivity with NX Topology for Designer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the focus is always kept on improving your user experience and a more streamlined workflow, we have also made improvements to NX Topology for Designer. With enhancements made to the connectivity between NX Topology for Designer and Performance Predictor, your data transfer is now more streamlined than ever. This ensures that your optimized designs and analysis set ups are accurately maintained throughout your entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These enhancements also continue into Export Analysis Bodies and Load Constraints, where you can now easily export both of these from NX Topology for Designer to Performance Predictor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better-configured default parameters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Designcenter NX team\u2019s commitment to accuracy ensures that every update brings you closer to perfection in your analysis and design tasks. This is why we have enhanced your workflow with better-configured default parameters that streamline the application behavior right from the moment you open your files. Now with better configured default parameters you can get default material a visibility of the results when you are opening a part, accompanied with our Continuous Accuracy Improvements. This update guarantees that we keep accuracy at the heart of our solution, ensuring reliable and precise results for you, every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NX Designer for Manufacturing Advisor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automate early manufacturability assessments with the new NX Design for Manufacture (DFM) Advisor. It can analyze your data, identify potential challenges and provide actionable feedback. When you leverage Teamcenter Integration for NX, you can generate reports to share with colleagues and partners, while using the insights to drive additional workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"586\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/DFM-improved-checker.png\" alt=\"part in nx for dfm showing part with checkers\" class=\"wp-image-12392\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/DFM-improved-checker.png 586w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/DFM-improved-checker-300x269.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved checker execution performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Improved checker performance will reduce the time it takes to evaluate your design for manufacturability.
