nx vs solidworks

[gio_70]

hi to everyone, I have been a solidworks user for 20 years, I collaborate with a company that will take care of 3d printing and we have "obligated" to a direction towards nx. I have some doubts especially for the speed of execution I had learned by now.
I'm trying to make my "chief" understand that the solidworks solution has nothing to envy than nx.. I would like some confirmation... Maybe by those who had the possibility of using both products.

Hi.
and for what reason did they force you to nx if they deal with 3d printing?
What are the constraints?

 

[gio_70]

the constraints are mainly of seclte politics of the society . unique software for cad-cam-management 3d prints. therefore integration cons sap. our company will take care of stmap 3d so they want touniform everything. we have proposed a software package that can be used separately

the passage from one cad to another is never painless, especially if you have been using it for a long time and therefore I understand your perplexities.
the sw solution has nothing to envy to nx.... I can agree with you, it depends on the type of product you make. nx is a high-end product with a very different philosophy of work compared to all other cad.
if then you put that the constraints are above all to uniform the cads, cam plm and so on there is no bit as they say. he thinks that it is said that a big company has preferred to change the cad (it talks about tens of thousands of licenses...) rather than change the plm.

but are you two independent companies from each other or belong to the same group?

strategically it would be dangerous to go 100% towards nx only for the pleasure of a customer.

What does the interface know if you are independent?

the only thing that comes to mind, as a sap user, is that they have already implemented something (custom function) z) their internally, and that maybe it is structured so as to work in integration with nx and that therefore do not want to cum any more money to create the same thing for another software cad

If so, however, I would expect the function to communicate directly with the proprietary format of the nx files (which I have no idea what extension they have, having never used it), instead of using the standard documentary management of knowledge

If it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to understand this force

The answer is trivial. are both easy to use only that sw is based on an older version of parasolid that is a siemens product. nx has the latest version of parasolid and sw 3 or 4 versions before.

Forgive me but I have some perplexity about the simplification you've made...maybe it was just a graphic kernel problem used. . .

no is wrong solidworks 2019 has version 31 of parasolid, the last

 

[+forte]

so much for curiosities solidedge 2019 has the 30 maybe with updates will update

 

[ceschi1959]

the parasolid version of nx12 is the 30, that of nx 1863 is the 31 as...
The differences between sw and nx are abyssal in terms of performance and usage.

after years of work in nx7.5 and then nx10 (with plm integrated in sap) have been spent several months at solidworks2019 (without plm). If they have different costs there is a reason. on the great asses are two different planets. the same for surface processing. I did courses with but still design times are definitely worse. Fortunately you will find on the web interesting videos.
