AeroTEC’s Chief Development Officer (CDO) oversees everything from technical product to delivery standpoint. When it came time to reevaluate the company’s CAD systems, it was clear to the AeroTEC CDO that they needed a solution that would standardize the overall design process and ensure the rigor required to tackle its tough automation challenges.
AeroTEC’s use of NX
Before its full adoption of Siemens NX, AeroTEC operated with two separate CAD systems, with different teams on different software. After considering the various options, AeroTEC decided to converge around NX as its singular CAD system, further integrating the Siemens software ecosystem.
This full adoption of NX allowed AeroTEC to make significant investments in standardizing its processes, policies, and templates while also enhancing the overall rigor of the design process.
Transitioning to a new CAD System
Thanks to the ‘first-class’ training they received from Applied CAx, AeroTEC CDO said the “transition… to NX honestly has been completely seamless.” Designers at AeroTEC with years of experience in other CAD software were able to swiftly and smoothly adapt to the new methodology, demonstrating that the switch to NX was the right choice.
The power of full integration
NX CAD has strengthened AeroTEC’s approach to design with its rigid methodology, allowing the company to invest more heavily into this aspect of the system.
This transition not only introduced the powerful NX tool but also expanded AeroTEC’s resources by integrating it into a broader toolset within the CAD system.
Whether it’s on the simulation side with STAR-CCM+ or the design side with NX, the integration of the Siemens Digital Innovation Software has transformed AeroTEC’s design process. “Just being able to use that digital data all the way through without having to convert and switch to other tools outside of that ecosystem is very beneficial,” says AeroTEC CDO.
