Siemens NX (Electrical Design)
Integrate electrical and mechanical design.
Overview
Siemens NX Electrical Design provides a fully integrated solution for designing and routing electrical wiring and harnesses within a 3D mechanical assembly. It facilitates a collaborative workflow between electrical and mechanical teams, enabling them to design and validate complex electromechanical systems.
✨ Key Features
- 3D wire and cable routing
- Wire harness design and manufacturing
- Integration with schematic data (e.g., from Capital or Xpedition)
- Creation of formboard drawings
- Design rule checking and validation
- Integration with the broader NX CAD/CAM/CAE platform
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Deep integration with the comprehensive Siemens Xcelerator portfolio (NX, Teamcenter, Capital)
- High-end capabilities for very large and complex assemblies
- Strong focus on creating a complete digital twin
- Advanced simulation and validation tools
Unique Value: Offers a truly unified environment for complex electromechanical systems design, enabling concurrent engineering and reducing errors through a shared digital model.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
