Description

Designcenter NX CAD is a powerful Siemens CAD platform designed to support product designers, engineers, and enterprises through advanced design, collaboration, and digitalization tools. It helps teams create 3D models, technical illustrations, mechanical designs, electrical designs, and product data that can move smoothly into manufacturing. The software offers flexible modeling capabilities, allowing users to work with explicit solid modeling, surface modeling, parametric design, direct modeling, and facet-based geometry. Designcenter NX CAD also supports ECAD and MCAD collaboration so mechanical, electronic, and electrical teams can work from the same digital twin. Its AI-enabled capabilities help speed up workflows, reduce development timelines, improve product quality, and make design tasks more intuitive. The platform includes immersive engineering technologies that allow users to visualize, simulate, interact with, and manipulate designs in XR or VR environments. Designcenter X NX is available in scalable tiers such as Essentials, Standard, Advanced, and Premium to match different team needs. Built-in data management and Teamcenter integration help improve collaboration, change control, and product lifecycle workflows. With strong interoperability, flexible deployment, and broad Siemens Xcelerator connectivity, Designcenter NX CAD helps organizations modernize product development and bring better designs to market faster.

Description

realvirtual.io offers a Unity-based platform designed specifically for creating industrial digital twins and conducting virtual commissioning within the realms of machine and plant engineering. This innovative framework allows users to import their own CAD files from various formats such as STEP, SolidWorks, CATIA, and NX, while enabling the definition of kinematics like drives, sensors, and grippers without modifying the original model's geometry. Furthermore, it integrates real or simulated PLCs and robot controllers seamlessly into a single 3D model through over 15 native interfaces, including Siemens S7, Beckhoff TwinCAT/ADS, OPC UA, MQTT, EtherNet/IP, Fanuc, KUKA, and ABB. The platform comes with complete C# source code, eliminating concerns about black box operations and vendor lock-in, while delivering stunning visuals at 60 fps and maintaining costs significantly lower than traditional digital factory solutions. A single model can transition smoothly throughout various stages, from sales and engineering to virtual commissioning, 3D HMI, and operator training. For those interested, a free Starter edition is available on the Unity Asset Store, and the companion product, realvirtual WEB, which is open source and utilizes Three.js, enables the same model to be accessed from any browser with just one link, thus broadening accessibility and collaboration opportunities.
