conducted by highly experienced and professionals trainers
Prerequisites
- Mechanical Design Experience
- Windows Experience
Course Materials
NX Student Materials along with data set will be provided on USB drive.
Course Completion
At the completion of Essentials for NX Designers the student will productively develop solid models, detail drawings, and product assemblies. The class introduces assembly modeling in the context of a real-life scenario that includes parts modeled by the student as well as part models that have already been created. This reinforces the student’s understanding of the flexibility of the solid modeling and assembly tool as it can be applied in the real world of product development collaboration. As with each course developed and taught by an PROLIM PLM Application Engineer with Siemens PLM Software certification, the Essentials for NX Designers class capitalizes on the PROLIM PLM Engineer’s intimate knowledge of the software’s development and instructs the students based on the underlying principles incorporated within the NX software.
