What is the License Bundle Getting me?
What is the License Bundle Getting me?
(OP)
We have an older Bundle here that we likely are going to try to change soon. We don't really need any of the machining stuff, and I'm not sure I'm getting all the content from the free form stuff and smart models that is listed. Also, I want to be able to export .stl files directly from NX - which bundle would do that? Anyways, does anyone here have a list of License Components so I can correlate my Bundle Details to actual tools? (Entire list below, some are straight forward, but some are not. I highlighted stuff grey that I believe to be CAM, and I highlighted some Green that I know we will obviously keep. The others I'm looking to get tool content on.)
Bundle:
MFG - "NX Mfg Bundle"
Components [36]:
assemblies
cam_base
cavity_milling
drafting
dxf_to_ug
dxfdwg
features_modeling
fix_axis_surf_mill
flow_cut
free_form_modeling
gateway
graphical_tool_path
grip_execute
iges
nc_external_program
nx_freeform_1
nx_freeform_2
planar_milling
pstudio_cons
pv_ugdatagenerator
sequential_milling
shop_doc
solid_modeling
std_ug_library
step_ap203
step_ap214
surface_milling
tol_cavity_milling
ug_collaborate
ug_post_exe
ug_smart_models
ug_to_dxf
ug_to_vericut
ug_visualize
ugopen_menuscript
var_axis_surf_mill
Thanks,

They can get descriptions of the contents of the current bundles in your location.

Based on the above, I highly suggest you THOROUGHLY test drive the license bundles you're thinking of purchasing to make sure you're not going to lose functionality.
YMMV

RE: What is the License Bundle Getting me?
as for the OP's question, below is a list that I have cobbled together.
It's not complete and there may have been some changes since I last updated it but it should give you some information:
feature_modeling is:
Insert -> Design Feature -> Hole
Insert -> Design Feature -> Boss
Insert -> Design Feature -> Pocket
Insert -> Design Feature -> Pad
Insert -> Design Feature -> Emboss
Insert -> Design Feature -> Offset Emboss
Insert -> Design Feature -> Slot
Insert -> Design Feature -> Groove
Insert -> Design Feature -> Dart
Insert -> Design Feature -> Thread
Insert -> Design Feature -> User Defined
Insert -> Associative Copy -> Instance Geometry
Insert -> Associative Copy -> Promote Body
Insert -> Trim -> Delete Edge
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Shell
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Thicken
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Scale Body
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Wrap Geometry
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Edge Blend
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Face Blend
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Spherical Corner
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Chamfer
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Draft
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Draft Body
Insert -> Mesh Surface -> Thru Curve
Insert -> Sweep -> Tube
Insert -> Synchronous Modelling
freeform_modeling - I think is only used for old functions.
grip_execute - is to run compiled GRIP programs
nx_freeform_1:
Edit -> Surface -> Boundary
Edit -> Surface -> Reverse Normal
Insert -> Trim -> Trimmed Sheet
Insert -> Trim -> Trim and Extend
Insert -> Trim -> Untrim
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Offset Surface
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Variable Offset
Insert -> Surface -> Bounded Plane
Insert -> Mesh Surface -> Ruled
Insert -> Mesh Surface -> Thru Curve Mesh
Insert -> Mesh Surface -> N Sided Surface
Insert -> Sweep -> Swept
Insert -> Sweep -> Variational Sweep
nx_freeform_2:
Edit -> Surface -> Global Shaping
Edit -> Surface -> Global Deformation
Edit -> Surface -> Enlarge
Edit -> Surface -> Change Edge
Edit -> Surface -> Change Degree
Edit -> Surface -> Chaneg Stiffness
Insert -> Combine -> Quilt
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Rough Offset
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Sheets to Solid Assistant
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Soft Blend
Insert -> Detail Feature -> Bridge
Insert -> Surface -> Through Points
Insert -> Surface -> From Poles
Insert -> Surface -> From Point Cloud
Insert -> Surface -> Rapid Surfacing
Insert -> Surface -> Transition
Insert -> Surface -> Ribbon Builder
Insert -> Surface -> Midsurface
Insert -> Surface -> Foreign
Insert -> Sweep -> Section
Insert -> Flange Surface -> Law Extension
Insert -> Flange Surface -> Extension
Insert -> Flange Surface -> Silhouette Flange
pstudio_cons - I think is Product Template Studio - consumer license.
shop_doc - Used to create CAM Shop Documentation
ug_collaborate: no info
ug_smart_models: no info
ug_visualize - 3D & 2D Toolpath Replay for CAM
ugopen_menuscript - no info

Oops.... I was going from memory, and I guess my memory isn't what I thought it was; my bad, and thanks for the clarification. My point is still valid though, and as long as everyone listens to what I mean and not what I say... 0

NX13200 NX Mach 3 Mold Design
NX13210 NX Mach 3 Progressive Die Design
NX13300 NX Mach 3 Industrial Design
NX13500 NX Mach 3 Advanced Simulation
NX13300 Industrial Design is the only bundle that has Realize Shape in it (look for NX_SUBDIVISION in your license file) without needing an add-on.
All the other ones require it as an add-on.

pstudio_cons is actually a consumer license for the older "Process Studio" tool.
Product Template Studio licenses will appear as pts_author and pts_consumer.
Good luck!

RE: What is the License Bundle Getting me?
Our Mach 3 Adv Mach, Mach 3 Adv Designer and Adv Designer all have stl import/export. Like Mark said you really need to speak with your VAR about bundles and pricing. A long time ago we had some very old bundles and a lot of it was pieced together. Our VAR steered us towards the new bundles for manufacturing and we ended up getting more capability at a lower cost. I believe we added the Mach 3 Adv Designer bundles when some of our people needed some Studio features which the old Adv Designer bundles did not have.

Migrating to 10 when 10.2 is released.
RE: What is the License Bundle Getting me?
I'm sure he'll have to some day, as Siemens slowly moves functions to new bundles. So far nothings moved that I cannot find another way to do something. But I'm sure that day will come...
