CAD design validation

Make validation a continuous, proactive process rather than an afterthought by automating design checking with NX Check-Mate. It includes an extensive library of hundreds of standard checks in modeling, drafting, product and manufacturing information (PMI), geometry, routing, welding and other applications. Using the authoring tool, you can create custom checking functions. The design validation is continuous and automatic, and notifies you immediately when designs fail to comply with standards, best practices, or critical functional and engineering requirements.

Support systems engineering with automated checking tools using NX Requirements Validation. Working with Teamcenter, you can allocate requirements to product subsystems and validate products for compliance with requirements as you design. NX Requirements Validation promotes a common understanding of targets and how well products achieve them.

Use NX Check-Mate and Requirements Validation to deliver visually rich feedback that uses high-definition 3D (HD3D) technology. With HD3D tools, including flow lists, visual tags, tool tips and see-through display modes, you can identify design issues clearly and quickly resolve them.

Support a rapid, streamlined process for identifying, understanding and resolving manufacturability issues. DFMPro for NX is seamlessly integrated with NX CAD software and uses the proven NX Check-Mate validation framework to provide HD3D problem navigation, visual tagging and information drill-down.

Leverage DFMPro for NX to automate and formalize the design review process for manufacturability using best-practice knowledge. It accelerates the identification of problems and suggests corrective actions based on best-practice handbooks and a knowledge repository. By implementing common manufacturability checks with DFMPro for NX, you capture mistakes early in the design process and ensure that past mistakes are not repeated.

Use HD3D Visual Reporting to format 3D part, component and assembly models to answer your inquiries, with color-coding, on-screen tagging and legends for fast visual assessment and interpretation. Multiple "see-through" settings give you various methods for removing the complexity of the model and instantly seeing the components of interest. You can access additional details by clicking on interactive tags, which can also open associated documents. You can output report data outside of NX sessions to other formats, including HTML and Excel.

Answer commonly asked questions with HD3D Visual Reporting, which includes predefined visual reports. A report-building tool accelerates the creation of custom reports. The reports can consist of properties from NX files, custom metadata, Teamcenter attributes and other PLM data. Engineering teams can use the information to understand their designs better and locate issues, while managers can more readily determine the overall state of development projects. You can manage and distribute visual reports to benefit the entire enterprise.
