NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

(OP)
Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if Siemens is planning to release a newer version of NX (11?) any time soon, and if so, what are the improvements that we can expect to see?

Thanks

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

I'm more interested in what new bugs will come along for the ride... upsidedown

If we get sweep solid body I will be one happy user. Even if we do not go to NX 11 for 2 years.

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

Hi All, where I am at we are on NX 8.0.3.4
It is split here weather we go now to 10 or wait for 11. Any thoughts.

Thanks,

If you decide to wait for 11 then you'll merely end up thinking whether to upgrade to 11 or wait for 12. glasses

NX10.0.2 is available now. 10.0.3 will be available pretty soon.
since it is a ".0.2" it is a "mature" version.
NX11 will be released "spring 2016" and then in the .0.0 form which I would not install for production work.
We always wait for at least the first maintenance release before deploying into production.
Going for NX11 means you must wait. NX10.x is available now.

Another good tip is to run the same version as one of the big users such as GM or Daimler, you know then that there is a push on Siemens to fix bugs.
I do not know what version they use.

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

Hi,

GM and DAIMLER are using 9.0.3

Hi,

No I am wrong for DAIMLER, they are using exactly 9.0.2.5 MP3

Hi John

is this Feature included in NX11 beta?

I have information that it is!

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

I just checked in Beta. I cannot select a body as source for a sweep...
I tried with along guide and variational...

Sweep Body does not allow to select a body? Not THAT's interesting. bigears

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

When this secret feature was included in the NX9 Beta, it was a separate feature. Not a new option in one of the existing features.
I would not expect the ability to select a " " and use that in any of the existing features, this because that IF the programmer would do that, he/she would have to test absolutely everything in the existing feature, not only the new addition to select "". ( If it ain't broke, don't fix it.)
It's far less risky to keep the bug free existing feature x and implement a completely new feature.

Tomas

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

just curious, but why would one want to sweep a solid body?

Maybe you should take the effort to read the complete thread....

I'm not sure I uderstood this. Does it meant that Sweep Body is an option in the Sweep Along Guide tool?

For instance, to get a motion envelope and build a collision-free casing around it.

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

There are many shapes which 2D sections cannot produce. This is an extremely complex operation depending on how far one takes it. Imagine for example a cube moving along a straight line, but tumbling. Faces and edges will appear/ disappear etc. The most common request is probably helical drills / mills which are very difficult to reproduce using a 2D section, if at all possible.

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

Thanks Toost,now i can picture it

No, it will most probably not be a new option in an existing feature.

when you develop code, what you don't want is that the existing features/ software suddenly gets a lot of new bugs. ( NX is today far more than a million lines of code...) You want as much as possible to isolate the code which is new and therefore needs thorough testing/ bugfixing. Since the existing features are un-touched, you don't have to test these in every new release.

Tomas

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

There are many things you can do with sweep solid body. Sweep an end mill along a helical curves. But this part is not just a simple end mill. It is a ball nosed end mill that is tapered. At the current time there are 15 or so steps that will produce this feature. If we get sweep solid body I could see three or so steps. A lot easier to control parametrically.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

RE: NX 11 (?) Release Date and Expected Improvements

Discussing beta items is prohibited by your beta license agreement.
This is especially true in a public forum like this one!

What gets included in the official release of NX11 will depend on beta testing results, released coding of the module and documentation.

For the record, the name of the proposed NEW function will be 'Swept Volume'.
