Automated design with Siemens NX

Faster, more secure, scalable.

Customized construction must not always start from scratch.

On closer inspection, many individually created components and systems follow recurring rules, patterns and dependencies.

DataSolid helps you to recognize these potentials - and to transfer them into an automated NX design.This not only saves time, but also creates space for new ideas, secures knowledge and significantly accelerates your project and quotation processes.
NX-Automation - Potentials

Automate ETO - leverage potential

Your case:
  • You develop customized machines or systems
  • Much is new - but not everything
  • Individual assemblies or functional areas follow recurring principles
Our analysis shows:
  • Regular patterns in geometry, installation space, options
  • Recurring variants in size, connections, characteristics
  • Standardizable basic bodies with clear dependencies
What becomes of it:
  • Configurable NX templates
  • Parameterized control via input masks or external programs
  • Sets of rules that map your internal logic
NX-Automation - Practice

Practical example: From 2 days to 10 minutes

In one customer project, the construction of a partial system was reduced from two days of manual work to 10 minutes of fully automated generation.
The key:
  • Component analysis & template development
  • Rule set definition with business logic
  • Input program for configuration
  • NX automation via API / NXOpen
Result:
  • Faster quotes with real geometry
  • More reliable delivery times - technically secured
  • Freedom for innovation & complex tasks in a team
NX-Automation - Our approach

Our approach - structured, comprehensible, scalable

  • 1. analysis: Repetition & identifying patterns
  • 2. parameterization: NX Templates, Expressions, Feature Sets
  • 3rd control model: Business logic in masks or external tool
  • 4. automation: NXOpen, Reuse library, drawing department
  • 5. introduction: Documentation, training, test & production run

Frequently provided Questions.

NX automation

NX automation means automatically executing recurring design tasks in Siemens NX through rules, templates, or scripts.

Do I need programming skills for NX automation?

No – DataSolid will take over the development, customization, and implementation of automation for your users.

What are the benefits of NX automation for my company?

Automation saves time, reduces errors, increases standardization, and allows your team to solve complex tasks faster.

How does DataSolid automate processes in Siemens NX for my company?

DataSolid develops customized macros, templates and automations to speed up recurring tasks.

How is NX automation individually adapted to my processes?

DataSolid creates customized automations based on your workflows, CAD guidelines and product structures.

How much time can I save with NX automation?

Examples from practice show that certain construction tasks can be completed in minutes instead of days.

  • How will automation be adapted to our processes?
  • DataSolid analyzes your patterns and processes, and creates configurable NX templates and rule sets based on them.
  • What types of automations are there for NX?

This includes parameterized templates, rule-based input masks, and integration of external control logic via APIs such as NXOpen.

How quickly will I see the benefits of NX automation?

Even after the introduction of standardized templates and rules, a measurable time saving and relief for your engineering teams is evident.
