Hi,
What companies has already started using NX9?
Is GM going to use it anytime soon?

Thanks

Neither I nor Siemens can speak for GM when it comes to if and when they will move to NX 9.0 or for that matter, any future version of NX or Teamcenter. That being said, based on past experience, IF and when GM does decide to move to NX 9.0 (they are currently running NX 8.0 as their corporate-wide standard) it will probably NOT be "anytime soon".

OK, thanks.
Could you enumerate a few companies that are already using this new release?

Thanks!

I doubt if anyone is actually 'USING' NX 9.0 yet as its only been available for about 2 weeks. Granted, while I'm sure that some people have installed it and are probably doing some testing as they evaluate when and how they're going to roll it out for general usage, I can't disclose that sort of information, even IF I had a list of the companies who HAVE installed NX 9.0, which I do not. Now if any of those companies wish to disclose that information as well the status of their testing, well that's strictly up to them.

Thanks again.
I wouldn't have asked this last question, but last week I've noticed some comments/questions regarding NX9 features/behavior................!
I thought that BX9 has been fully used!

(NX9)...sorry for mistake!

GM is typically 1 to 2 major releases behind the latest NX version - one of the reasons being that it takes quite a long time to go through all of their custom corporate NX programs and check to see if they will work with the newer version of NX or if they'll need attention/bug fixes. GM

true. all the germans are still on catia v5r19 (current is v5r23 or v6r2013x), but will probably go straight to v6 in a couple of years (mercedes maybe even on nx), who knows when. it's a lenghty process in any case.
