The geometry foundation for the whole simulation chain. A model built in NX transfers directly into Simcenter with no file export, eliminating the most time-consuming stage of every CFD project.
Exporting through a neutral format always drops faces, opens gaps and breaks tolerances, costing the simulation engineer days of geometry repair. A shared NX platform eliminates this step.
Change a dimension in NX and re-run the simulation — the basis for sweeping whole families of design options.
Industrial equipment is usually an assembly of hundreds or thousands of parts; NX manages that level of complexity.
Runs CFD inside the NX window without leaving the design environment.
View details →NX is sold as a modular configuration. An organization using NX mainly to prepare geometry for simulation does not need the full configuration a manufacturing design office would.
| Operating system | Windows 10/11 64-bit or Linux |
|---|---|
| RAM | 16 GB minimum, 32 GB or more for large assemblies |
| Graphics | A professional GPU with a certified driver |
| Storage | SSD for part libraries and assembly files |
Not necessarily. STAR-CCM+ imports many formats. However, for frequent design–simulation iterations, a shared NX platform saves significant geometry-handling time.
Yes. Many clients simply send the drawings and let CFDWAYS handle everything from geometry to results.
Send the CAD file in any format — CFDWAYS will review it and report any issues to resolve.
