So here we are, with another instalment of our \u2018What\u2019s New\u2019 series. This time bringing you the latest enhancements to NX with assemblies. NX Assemblies provides a complete set of capabilities that enable our customers to efficiently work in one consistent environment that supports all their assembly needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JT Derived Parts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1-1024x399.png\" alt=\"JT Monikers\n\" class=\"wp-image-6750\" width=\"512\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1-1024x399.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1-768x300.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1-1536x599.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1-900x351.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/JT-1.png 1974w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our improvements to NX assemblies is JT derived parts. NX now delivers best-in-class load performance, to enable visualizing larger amounts of data and reduced file sizes using JT Moniker Technology. To break this down for you, here are some points below highlighting how this improves your workflow and reduces time wastage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JT with Monikers (enables Associative Updates)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimized for large feature counts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced load time and creation of associative features (between 1.2X \u2013 25X)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced PRT file sizes (average 5.7%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove dependency on KF Framework<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>JT without Monikers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove dependency on enabling Associative Updates in Customer default<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simplify Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand that for any user\u2019s workflow, refining efficiency and flexibility is a must. The new capabilities in Simplify Assembly bring exactly this. It is now much easier for our users to create robust simplified geometry, in hand, resulting in improved productivity. Below are a few examples of the breakdown of this simplification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-1024x296.png\" alt=\"model in nx\" class=\"wp-image-6752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-1024x296.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-768x222.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-1536x445.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-2048x593.png 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-900x261.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Performance Improvements<ul><li>Blend Deletion<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identification of Interior Bodies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show and Hide Original or Simplified Solids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feature Groups for Simplified Geometry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preserve Mass Properties\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Store Calculated or Zero Values<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preserve Color on Faces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partition in Design Sessions and Worksets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1024x881.png\" alt=\"partitions in design session\n\" class=\"wp-image-6753\" width=\"512\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1024x881.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3-300x258.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3-768x661.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1536x1322.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3-900x775.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture3.png 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another enhancement we\u2019ve made to NX is partitions. Partitions in Interoperable Design Sessions and Design Worksets provide the ability to visualize alternative organizations of assembly structures. Basing your loading assemblies on filters and partitions allows you to save precious time by only loading the required data. That\u2019s not all, this also reduces complexity of any large assemblies your model might contain. While also, allowing the user to easily retrieve and share only the desired context of an assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Discovery in Design Worksets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An additional section within NX Worksets, is Smart Discovery. Smart Discover is the solution for searching and filtering within a structure. When this tool is paired with Design Worksets, Smart Discovery speeds the creation and enhances the management of worksets. Which again, results in increased productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#009999\">NOTE: Subsets capture the precise revision of the product structure root object, its configuration and filtering criteria. Design Worksets are used as the display part, act as a revisable business object, and can have an NX dataset<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s a wrap on an overview of what\u2019s new in NX assemblies! Hopefully you\u2019ve taken away that these performance enhancements improve the overall user experience for you. You can now utilize the updates in simplified geometry to be easier and more robust, while your design worksets and partitions are making it easier to visualize large assemblies. Keep an eye out for more updates, as we continue to bring you the latest and greatest with NX!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continue your Journey with NX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/trials.sw.siemens.com\/nx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try a 30-day Trial of NX Today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more NX related blogs here <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction With NX\u2122 software&nbsp;being a key part of the comprehensive digital twin, we understand and strive to bring you continuous&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69908,"featured_media":6748,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[162,1,163],"tags":[6612,3,501,499,6633],"industry":[157],"product":[304],"coauthors":[545],"class_list":["post-6747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-learning-resources","category-news","category-product-updates","tag-assemblies","tag-cad","tag-nx","tag-nx-cad","tag-nxmakesitreal-whatsnew-nxwhatsnew","industry-software-development","product-nx"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Blog_Header_Assemblies.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69908"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6747"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6747\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7194,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6747\/revisions\/7194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6747"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=6747"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=6747"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=6747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
