Artificial intelligence (AI) in Designcenter NX CAD

Prompt an AI-enabled copilot to help you analyze, optimize and generate within Designcenter NX software. With an Industrial Copilot powered by Microsoft Phi-3, you can use a conversational interface to get information you need or even make design changes.

Ask Design Copilot NX to guide you through a task or gain deeper knowledge of your data. For example, ask the copilot about a specific design process in your industry or how to work on a specific part.

You can also receive recommendations on your design and understand how various conditions or metrics should be considered. For example, ask the copilot for simulation results or to show you a visual report of material selection so that you can reduce the weight of your design in a way that doesn't negatively affect the structural properties or integrity.

Speed up your design process and simplify your interactions with NX Voice - Command Assistant. Reduce clicks and complex menu navigation by using natural human-like conversation and single keywords to execute commands quickly. With just your voice, you can directly interact with the software in a traditional desktop setup or hands-free in combination with immersive XR headsets.

Accelerate productivity and efficiently find the resources you need with Discovery Center, embedded directly into Designcenter NX. Whether you are a new or existing user, you can discover personalized and context-aware recommendations on relevant features, tools and workflows that may help with your design.

Leverage the NX personal assistant that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to track and learn from user actions. NX Command Prediction predicts the NX commands you will likely use next based on the context of what you are currently doing. It then presents those commands on a compact adaptive user interface (UI) panel. For example, if you're doing something in sheet metal, it knows that a certain sequence of commands will be used and will provide them to you.

Execute your next command quicker with NX Selection Prediction. Define the desired selection prediction sensitivity, preview predicted objects to be selected then add and remove as needed from the selection list.

Reduce manual clicks and speed up your design process with select similar commands in Designcenter NX CAD. AI Select Similar Components identifies and selects geometrically-similar components, allowing you to perform bulk operations and accelerate design modifications without needing to manually find each component within a complex assembly. NX Select Similar Faces also enhances design efficiency as it can locate and select similar faces across multiple components, plus you can implement custom checks for validating similar regions and create your own library of commonly searched regions.

Leverage predicted options while authoring PMI for NX Model Based Definition. Machine learning can predict single and multi-level Input and Output port nodes.

Reduce rework and having to start from scratch by finding existing parts similar to photos. Upload an image to Teamcenter AI Assisted Part Finder, narrow down your search by filtering down to a specific area of the image and explore a list of similar, existing Designcenter NX part files.

Produce new design data and make design changes by executing commands with the copilot. For example, give instructions to the copilot to make changes based on your optimization recommendations. Ask the copilot to make a part thicker, then run a compliance check to make sure that with the change, your design still satisfies all requirements.

Automate specific tasks in your design process with NX Open and Design Copilot NX. With NX Open, you can input custom code. Input your own code or ask the copilot to generate code for you.
