This training covers the topics of sketching, solid creation, assembly design and drawing creation. The understanding of the methodology as well as the interaction with the user interface are the most important basic components in dealing with NX®. With simple exercises the participant is introduced to the NX® functions for reference elements, sketches and lines and from exercise to exercise his knowledge is built up and deepened. Practical tips & tricks are also taught.
Course: NX® CAD Basis for Designers
Duration: 10 days
Prerequisites: No previous experience in design with a 2D/3D CAD system necessary
Notice: We also offer this course as a compact "system changeover course". Contents are coordinated with the trainer in advance.
