NX - IDEAS - SolidEdge
NX - IDEAS - SolidEdge
(OP)
I was wondering if someone could answer this: I would like to purchase a MCAD package that will support multiple platforms, NX, IDEAS, and SolidEdge. Could someone tell me if a NX database can be converted to IDEAS and/or SolidEdge and maintain the design history (i.e., the database can be tranferred seamlessly for future us in another package).?
Any insight would be appreciated.

RE: NX - IDEAS - SolidEdge
However, in all cases geometric models can be shared between these 3 systems, at least with NX being the 'hub' in any exchange between Solide Edge and Ideas, and while the history data is not shared, the models can be fully integrated/merged into applications on each system and if changes are made to the original model on the authoring system, those shared models can be updated without losing any of the new data created or relationships establish in the receiving systems. For example, if a model was created in Solid Edge and shared with NX so that NC tool paths could be created to manufacture say a die, if the model were to be modified in Solid Edge and an update model passed to NX, the tool paths would automatically update in the same manner as if those changes had been made in NX itself. the some would hold true for FEA, assembly mockups, Drafting applications, etc. Even in some cases, modeling changes could be made in the receiving system and yet still be able to properly update if the original model were updated in it's home system.
Note that this capablity has been part of NX and Solid Edge for several years, and after the aquisition of SDRC, we included Ideas into this associative data sharing scheme.

I am assuming you are an Ideas user looking to go to UGNX???
