The document discusses geometric modeling which is the foundation of computer-aided design (CAD). It describes the different types of geometric models including graphical models, curve models, surface models, and solid models. Graphical models include wireframe models and can be graphically deficient. Curve models must satisfy boundary conditions at start and end points. When curves are joined, they can have C0, C1 or C2 continuity depending on matching of points, tangents or curvature. The document provides examples of each type of continuity for composite curves.
This document discusses different techniques for representing 3D solid objects in computer modeling, including boundary representation (B-rep), constructive solid geometry (CSG), and spatial partitioning. B-rep describes objects by their surface boundaries like vertices and faces. CSG uses Boolean operations on primitives. Spatial partitioning divides space into uniform cells. Each technique has strengths and weaknesses in terms of accuracy, domain of representable objects, uniqueness of representation, and efficiency.
This document discusses different types of geometric modeling methods including wireframe, surface, and solid modeling. Wireframe modeling uses points and lines to define objects but does not represent actual surfaces or volumes. Surface modeling defines the outer surfaces of an object. Solid modeling precisely defines the enclosed volume of an object using its faces, edges, and vertices. Constructive solid geometry and boundary representation are two common solid modeling techniques. CSG uses Boolean operations to combine primitive shapes, while boundary representation stores topological information about faces, edges, and vertices. Feature-based modeling allows shapes to be created through operations like extruding, revolving, sweeping, and filling.

This document discusses 3D transformations and projections. It describes two main projection methods: parallel projection and perspective projection. Parallel projection preserves proportions but does not provide a realistic 3D representation. Perspective projection maps 3D points along converging lines to a vanishing point, resulting in foreshortening effects where objects appear smaller the farther they are from the viewing plane. The document outlines different types of parallel and perspective projections.
This document provides information about CNC milling. It discusses learning outcomes, introduces milling processes and classifications.

The document discusses different types of threaded fasteners including bolts, studs, screws, and set screws. It defines threaded fastener terminology such as external and internal threads, major and minor diameters, pitch, and thread forms. It also provides steps for drawing representations of various threaded fasteners and holes.
There are two main types of projections: perspective and parallel. In perspective projection, lines converge to a single point called the center of projection, creating the illusion of depth. In parallel projection, lines remain parallel as they are projected onto the view plane. Perspective projection is more realistic but parallel projection preserves proportions. Perspective projections can be one-point, two-point, or three-point depending on the number of principal vanishing points. Orthographic projections use perpendicular lines while oblique projections are at an angle. Common parallel projections include isometric, dimetric, trimetric, cavalier and cabinet views.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, involves building 3D objects from a digital file by laying down successive layers of material. There are several technologies used for 3D printing including stereolithography, selective laser sintering, multi-jet modeling, and inkjet 3D printing. 3D printing allows for rapid prototyping, reduces development costs, and increases customization. Applications of 3D printing include design prototyping, education, and healthcare.

NX 9 introduces new capabilities
and technology to accelerate
aerospace product engineering.
3. 3
Improving the
efficiency of aerospace
product design
The aggressive cost, schedule and
performance goals of modern aero-
space and defense programs place a
premium on achieving greater produc-
tivity. With shorter development
cycles and faster manufacturing and
assembly times, aerospace companies
must optimize product development
for efficiency, leveraging advanced
technologies for design, engineering
and manufacturing.
Aerospace products are complex
systems requiring engineering that
links requirements, subsystems and
physical models. Successful aerospace
companies support multiple disci-
plines with a collaborative develop-
ment environment that enables
concurrent engineering.
Integrated information technology
also helps to simplify complex
aerospace product development.
Successful companies employ
advanced solutions with unified
capabilities for design, simulation and
manufacturing, along with discipline-
specific tools for electromechanical,
tooling, composites and other engi-
neering specialties. Open, scalable
solutions easily integrate with other
tools used by global design teams and
supply chains.
With NX™ product development
software, Siemens PLM Software
delivers an impressive array of tools
for improving productivity, enabling
aerospace companies to reach new
levels of efficiency. This new produc-
tion release, NX 9, introduces
new capabilities and technology
to accelerate aerospace product
engineering.
4. 4
Efficiency in aerospace
product development
High-definition user experience
High-definition 3D (HD3D) is a visual
analytics technology that enables compa-
nies to keep track of all product-related
information, and to quickly get answers
to many common questions throughout
all stages of development, including
release status, supplier parts and infor-
mation, weight, cost targets, part and
assembly attributes, validation criteria
and results. In NX 9, HD3D is comple-
mented by visual tools and provides the
capabilities required to quickly create,
view, publish and share a wide variety
of reports.
NX 9 enhances the high-definition PLM
experience by embedding Active Work-
space Client, the innovative new inter-
face for the Siemens PLM Software
Teamcenter® software. You can choose
the simple, graphically-engaging Active
Workspace to quickly find relevant infor-
mation for parts, tasks, workflows,
requirements and specifications, even
from multiple external data sources. This
streamlined access to the right informa-
tion in context dramatically reduces the
time spent looking for data and improves
decision-making.
Improving the user experience is an
ongoing investment for NX. The latest
release introduces a fully customizable,
ribbon-like user interface that is the next
step in increasing user productivity and
simplifying the development process.
New users of NX will be able to discover
system capabilities easier, learn faster
and become more productive in a shorter
span of time. Existing users will find that
they are more efficient because they are
using a more logical layout, grouping and
presentation of commands that maxi-
mizes the graphics window.
Faster, easier design with
synchronous technology
NX uniquely delivers synchronous tech-
nology, an innovation that enables you
to create and edit geometry with unpar-
alleled speed and ease – even geometry
created on other CAD systems. Synchro-
nous technology enables faster idea
capture and design changes, improved
use of multi-CAD and unprecedented
ease of use.
Now in its sixth release, this capability
has been expanded in NX 9 with the
introduction of synchronous technology
2D, giving you the same freedom and
speed in 2D as previously available in 3D.
You can easily change the design intent
of 2D geometry – from profile sketches
to large 2D layouts – while preserving
integrity. Synchronous technology 3D
has also been enhanced to enable editing
of shapes by directly modifying edges as
well as faces. Synchronous design is
invaluable in the multi-CAD system envi-
ronments of aerospace global design
teams and supply chains.
NX uniquely delivers synchronous
technology, an innovation that
enables you to create and edit
geometry with unparalleled speed
and ease – even geometry created
on other CAD systems.

Modular design for concurrent
engineering
Modular design facilitates concurrent
engineering, enabling aerospace design-
ers to work more efficiently on complex
models as the product design evolves. NX
recently introduced part modules, a capa-
bility that enables multiple designers to
collaborate more easily on a single com-
ponent, designing complex part models
as groups of isolated, self-contained func-
tional elements that evolve indepen-
dently. Such an approach reduces feature
dependencies within the model, enables
simpler design modifications and consid-
erably enhances performance, making it
much easier for designers to understand
how a model was created. Since the
design team can work in parallel on the
part, the overall time it takes to complete
the final design can be greatly reduced.
Customers using modular design report a
50 percent reduction in model creation
time, and a 90 percent reduction in
modification time.
Each designer adds detailed geometry
based on the reference geometry pro-
vided in the linked part module. Once the
geometry definition is complete, each
designer creates output geometry, which
is automatically transferred back to the
master part. Therefore, the lead designer
can always see the geometry being cre-
ated within the linked part modules. In
turn, each of the other designers has the
ability to see the master part, as well as
any of the other linked modules, by sim-
ply adding them as components to their
linked part. This workflow is essential for
enabling designers to work concurrently,
and to have access to up-to-date data.
An important improvement in NX 9
enables the same body to be shared with
multiple designers. At any point, work
from all designers can be merged with
the main part. This enhancement enables
a number of new work distribution work-
flows, such as for blending and sheet
metal design.
Performance for large assembly design
NX delivers large assembly capacity and
performance for the complexity of aero-
space products. Large assembly modeling
in NX offers lightweight loading of com-
ponents to significantly improve perfor-
mance, especially when working with
large datasets. Designers can work in the
context of full assembly models and cre-
ate virtual mockups that use components
from multiple CAD systems. By digitally
simulating complete assemblies and pro-
cesses, aerospace companies can avoid
the costs of creating prototype models
and eliminate assembly errors and
rework. Assembly design benefits from
improved performance and updates to
inter-part linking in NX 9.
8. 8
Automating airframe-
specific workflows
Workflow automation is the ultimate
solution to significantly improve speed,
consistency and quality of many design
tasks. Automation is best achieved
through clear understanding of customer
work processes and requirements. The
experience of Siemens PLM Software
with a broad aerospace customer base
enables us to offer capabilities that cap-
ture the required inputs, apply them in a
realistic workflow and deliver the desired
results. NX 9 applies this type of automa-
tion to airframe parts to help aerospace
firms dramatically reduce design and
engineering time.
Design for manufacturing –
airframe components
Expensive, late-stage design changes can
be minimized when designers consider
the manufacturability of components
during the design process. NX 9 intro-
duces new tools for aligning design and
manufacture of machined pockets typical
of many airframe parts.
Conventional computer-aided design
(CAD) systems lack this industry-specific
capability, leaving the manufacturing
engineer to determine production details
after the design is complete. New manu-
facturability checks and blend modeling
tools in NX 9 enable designers to define
manufacturing criteria, rather than just
engineering intent, when specifying how
the parts with machined pockets needs to
be blended.
Pocket blending tools in NX enable
designers to specify which cutting tools
will be used to machine the part, as well
as the parameters of these cutters, such
as type, size and radius. A new manufac-
turing check analyzes pockets on the
component to find acutely angled walls,
undercuts and areas where the cutting
tool won’t fit. The designer can then
quickly model pocket blends on the air-
frame part that automatically apply fill
geometry and ramps based on the cutter
parameters. The blends accurately repre-
sent the final shape of the machined
parts, and weight calculations from the
CAD model are much more accurate.
These new capabilities dramatically
reduce the time required to model
as-machined pockets, and improve the
detail, accuracy and manufacturing
planning for the CAD model.

Pocket blending tools in NX
enable designers to specify which
cutting tools will be used to
machine the part.
10. 10
New tools in NX 9 also automate and sim-
plify the design of most common ele-
ments in aircraft exterior panels. These
offer designers powerful and efficient
methods of modeling and validating the
required geometry. The supporting tools
were specifically engineered to support
aircraft design.
Aircraft panels are typically modeled
from ruled surface geometry. NX 9 adds a
modeling option for developable surfaces
that ensures that the panels can be flat-
tened or formed without deformation.
As-designed and as-manufactured
representations of panel parts can be
easily created with new NX capabilities
for wrapping and unwrapping curves on
ruled surfaces.
Aircraft skin components are further
developed by adding and removing mate-
rial from defined regions of the aircraft
skin. NX 9 provides the tools needed to
create skin pockets, pads and cutout fea-
tures, enabling designers to account for
engineering as well as manufacturing
requirements in a streamlined workflow.
In a typical workflow, the designer
defines boundaries and locations of holes
in the aircraft skin. Using the unwrap
curve command, the designer flattens the
developable surface and reference geom-
etry. Next, 2D profiles for pockets, pads
and cutouts are created in the context of
the flattened geometry. Using new capa-
bilities in NX 9, designers can quickly
create the skin elements, such as pockets,
pads, cutouts and holes. In many cases,
most of these design elements can be
created in a single operation, including
the definition of multiple thicknesses.
NX prompts the user to define the desired
thicknesses, and determine if a pocket,
pad or a cutout needs to be created. Such
an approach simplifies the construction
of these design elements, and greatly
improves the designer’s speed and effi-
ciency. Siemens PLM Software engineered
these capabilities specifically to support
airframe design workflows.
This workflow-based approach is quite
useful for supporting manufacturing
processes, such as chemical milling. The
design steps produce the geometry and
information required for this process,
thus further helping to reduce cost and
errors.

This workflow-based approach
is quite useful for supporting
manufacturing processes.

In a typical workflow, a
designer defines bound-
aries and locations of
holes in the aircraft skin.

It makes it much faster and
easier for designers to create
shapes using a number of
basic techniques.
13. 13
Simplifying the entire
design process
A new tool for freeform modeling
Subdivision modeling technology has
been used for a number of years in the
conceptual stage of product design. It is
intended to help develop designs faster
than traditional surfacing technologies.
NX 9 adapts subdivision modeling tech-
nology, and introduces a new task envi-
ronment called Realize Shape. It makes it
much faster and easier for designers to
create shapes using a number of basic
techniques, which are intuitive and
require only simple interaction. The end
product is high-quality B-surfaces in an
editable feature. Subdivision modeling
enables rapid conceptualization of ideas
without the need for expert knowledge.
It can be used in combination with other
surfacing and design tools, and in many
cases, it can replace them.
To assist with making products look
realistic in a virtual design environment,
Siemens PLM Software has introduced
Ray-traced Studio in NX 9. This new
capability delivers a real-time ray-traced
rendering that displays inter-object
reflections and refractions to help
optimize product aesthetics.
Managing configurations and variants
NX and Teamcenter assist aerospace
manufacturers with occurrence effectiv-
ity for configurations and variants.
For example, if you are designing a
line of aircraft having different tail
numbers, you can take advantage of the
Teamcenter occurrence effectivity to
manage a single product structure
containing all of the aircraft. Inside NX,
the designer can load the components
needed for a specific tail number. Then
the user creates assembly-level product
and manufacturing information (PMI) in
that design context. The authored PMI
will be visible only for that specific tail
number. Authoring, PMI and reference
geometry filtering can be applied based
on variant conditions during the author-
ing process. Additionally, if the associ-
ated component is suppressed due to a
variant condition, then the correspond-
ing PMI and/or reference geometry will
be suppressed as well.
To assist with making products
look realistic in a virtual design
environment, Siemens PLM
Software has introduced
Ray-traced Studio in NX 9.
