prices nx

[nkt]

Bye to all,
use at the moment solid edge. It's an old version, so I'd like to propose to my manager to go to nx.
use would be for solids, surfaces and drafting.
Indicatively when it would cost the license. I don't care about the exact amount. It's just to give me an idea.

Hello, Lucio.
somewhere on this forum is written the list price of the basic version of nx.
if I do not remember badly is less than nine thousand euros.
as experts will explain better, nx costs a little more than solid edge, but it does much more. in a way you could say that nx has a price ratio - more favorable power. However, the great potential of nx makes it much more complex to use than solid edge.

Sure? even with the basic license?

@cacciatorino: I'm not really sure. I have always used pretty old versions of solid edge.
I saw this discussion without answers and I wanted to be the first to write something:36_1_1:

by direct experience, usually nx offers interesting advantages on itself. but also disadvantages like all cad .
then the packages that take the gap become substantial.
everything depends on your company how much it wants to invest and what work it has to do with us. If we are talking about 1 license or multiple etc...

Another argument not to be underestimated is the historian, although nx opens the native if and the modification (of course in direct modeling) does not mean having the default features of if

a nl, replacing another cad costs even less.
has inside:
- solid modeling
- assembly
- drafting
- rendering
- base
- basic surfaces
... and some other fine.
everything is to evaluate well and immediately what you need because it is true that nx is scalable and has everything and everything very powerful, but if you want so many other things, then you end up paying them and also dear. (I mean: advanced surfaces, adv assembly, pmi, mold modules, routing, cam, advanced cae, etc.).
and the loss of data wealth is a factor to pay much attention to.
You don't change cad so much to do.

I could not have been more synthetic!!
Many think that going from one to another is a walk, whatever falls is, it is not just a question of money!!1

I was born using nx5, then I changed work and ended up with solid edge. it will be that the first cad never forgets, but I find solid edge valid if you use solids, but if you have to model with curves / surfaces you go mad and lose a lot of time. instead with nx I find that it is a real 3d cad where you can work with the surfaces and manage the curves.
For example I miss the command to build a surface by giving the spline and orientation according to the molding axis and other similar things. :banghead:

then if these are the needs, things change. . .
You'd need a mach3 probably.
these are functions included in mach 1 and 2:bounded plane, ruled, through curves, through curve mesh, n-sided, swept, variational sweep, offset, variable offset, thicken, edit sheet boundary, reverse normal, trimmed sheet, trim and extendwhile these are the commands added with the mach 3: packageextension, transition, through points, from poles, from point cloud, rapid surfacing, foreign body, ribbon builder, midsurface, section surface, law extension, silhouette flange, soft blend, fillet, bridge, rough offset, offset face, sheets to solid assistant, enlarge, global shaping by function, global shaping by surface, global deformation, isoparametric trim/divide, change degree, change stiffness, change edge, move defining point, move pole, quilt, surface by 4 points, swoop, studio surface, styled sweep, styled corner, styled blend, aesthetic face blend, xform, iform, match edge, snip surface, refit face, pole smoothing, shape by template, deform surface, transform surface, extract feature
