NX
Intermediate NX Design and Assemblies
Intermediate NX Design and Assemblies is designed to advance students further up the productivity curve. As a second tier course Intermediate NX Design and Assemblies builds on the tools you deployed as a result of attending the Designing Parts in NX (or equivalent) course. This method-based course focuses the student on productive modeling techniques that capture design intent in the context of the Master Model. Delivering on that outcome, this course will incorporate sketching, inter-part modeling, design intent, and several assembly topics as a significant part of the instruction
UPDATE: If you are considering this course, please also consider the CAD Advanced Processes course as an alternative. The CAD Advanced Processes course was designed by our US training experts and exceeds the course objectives of the Intermediate NX Design and Assemblies course above. Similar in content, but designed as a process-based deliverable with richer hands-on activities which will help users quickly become efficient in the use of NX.
This course is for designers, engineers, and CAD/CAM managers who need to create parametric solid models that capture design intent.
