I will give a live demonstration on how to design a machine from scratch using NX. Beginning with a blank screen, I’ll show the workflow and process from the concept phase to the fully detailed design phase. We\u2019ll see how, using a simple sketch, we can prove that the machine will work. We can check that the sensors and conveyors are in the right place and running at the correct speed. The entire design will be interactive, meaning I can physically press buttons on the digital twin to simulate actions such as turning a conveyor off, speeding it up or increasing the amount of product. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’ll be an interactive session, so your own ideas can become part of the live demo. If you have questions or suggestions for the design, we can test those modifications on the spot.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n For my second session, I will share another live presentation on how to create and make product designs look like realistic photos using NX. Back in the day, you\u2019d have to physically make a product to be able to visualize it properly. Today, we have tools that let us quickly visualize our product during the design review, long before production. This is helpful not only because we can easily fine-tune things like the material or color we want to use, but also because we can create excellent marketing materials from the models. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I will share some \u201cdo\u2019s and don\u2019ts\u201d of rendering to help customers get the most out of the session. Just like there are standard rules of photography, the same ideas apply to rendering in our software. I’ll show the difference that slight changes can make to the rendering to help you significantly improve the quality of your image and highlight what you want to convey to a potential client.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n My sessions will benefit anyone looking to design machinery or visualize their product, regardless of their industry. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The MCD session will be helpful for people working with any machinery, whether that machinery assembles cars or bakes biscuits. It’s useful not only for creating interactive designs as I mentioned previously, but also for validating changes. With MCD, you can validate the change before rollout to avoid taking the machine offline for hours. Another area where MCD is useful is for training purposes. You can train machine operators to safely and correctly use the digital twin before they\u2019re involved with the actual, expensive equipment. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The photorealistic rendering session is helpful for anyone who wants to visualize their product before manufacturing, whether that\u2019s a machine or a pair of headphones. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The automotive industry is a good example. There are so many regulations you must adhere to when designing a car, from the percentage of windscreen that must be cleared by the windscreen wipers to the driver’s comfortability. For example, the Society of Automotive Engineers standards are tightly integrated directly into NX, among many others. So when I create a rough concept design, the software can tell me whether or not I pass the regulation and, if not, what I need to change.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have applications that are specific to the marine and aerospace industries and tools to help customers design consumer products. I don\u2019t think there are any industries that wouldn’t benefit from using NX.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I like that it allows Siemens customers to explore aspects of the software they may have never seen before. Our software is so expansive, and new versions are released every six months, so sometimes customers are surprised to discover new features and enhancements that are available. Last year at Realize LIVE, after I presented on NX, customers contacted me for several weeks asking questions about utilizing new functionality they didn\u2019t previously know existed. It\u2019s a really valuable way to demonstrate the scope of the software and help customers get the most out of it. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s mutually beneficial for Siemens experts and customers, not only because customers can discover more ways to use the software, but also because solution experts can learn from and be inspired by the customers\u2019 experiences. Customers may use the software in ways we haven\u2019t thought of yet, and it helps us push the boundaries of what we thought was possible and expand our vision of how the software will evolve. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m really looking forward to meeting customers at Realize LIVE 2024 and discussing all things NX. I\u2019ll have my laptop ready to demonstrate NX uses and review anything they want to learn about. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Join us at Realize LIVE 2024 and be part of the future of digital transformation!
