Tickoo Institute of Emerging Technologies
 Our Mission
To bring in international standards of
training to India and impart quality
training to Engineers
 About Us
•TIET is a training and consulting division of CADCIM Technologies,
USA

•CADCIM is leading providers of quality textbooks related to

CAD/CAE & Animation Softwares

•Incepted under the leadership of Prof. Sham Tickoo, Purdue

University, USA

•TIET focuses on imparting quality education on new generation

technologies
 Let’s
Get Started
Agenda Insight
• PMI (Product and manufacturing information)

• Measure

• NX Virtual Reality

• Convergent Modeling
NX Continuous Release Strategy
• What is Changing?
✓ Major functional enhancement
releases target every ~6 months with
update releases each month
✓ Incorporate agile development
principles
✓ Deliver tools to help with
customization upgrades
✓ Removed need to upgrade
Teamcenter when upgrading NX
✓ Enhanced internal auto-test
framework to further improve quality
PMI
(Product and Manufacturing Info.)
• What is an PMI object?

A PMI object is an associative

item of information that is
made available in NX model
space that provides critical
manufacturing, structural, and
quality data to downstream
processes and applications
regarding the design intent of
that model or assembly
Typical PMI objects…
✓ Dimensions
✓ Datum Feature Symbols
✓ Datum Targets
✓ Feature Control Frames
✓ Symbols
✓ Security markings
✓ PMI section Views
✓ Notes
New in PMI !
✓ Compare PMI and Model View data between Two Native NX
Parts or Two revisions in Managed Mode

✓ Fully integrated and interactive

Comparison Navigator
✓Multiple displayed parts
for visual interrogation

✓HD3D visual links to

changed objects
✓ Publish Technical Data Package For non dependency on NX
New in Measure !
• Flying Info Pop-up while
hovering over object

• Single View Info Display

after selecting an object
• Flying Info Pop-up after
selecting two objects

• Center of Gravity point of

reference
New in Convergent modelling !
Lattice enhancements
• Unit Fill (Unit Graph in
previous releases)

• Unit Conformal (Conformal

Graph in previous releases)
• Tetrahedron Fill—Fills a
boundary volume with a
lattice by using its mesh
facet edges

• Surface—Creates a lattice
on faces by using their
mesh facet edges as rods
• Filter Lattice command is
used to remove rods from
the lattice based on filter
settings
New in NX Virtual Reality !
• Ambient Shadows Enables advanced ambient
occlusion shading methods, boosting the overall level
of realism

• Enable Controller Labels

Displays persistent, dynamic
tooltips for the hand controllers
• Paint Lets you draw in
indications, markings, etc. in 3D

• New interactive properties

panels and floating context
menus

• Loading screen with progress bar
