AAIN

Connecting NX and Abaqus/CAE

Maintain relationship with seamless geometry updating between NX and Abaqus/CAE. Changes made in NX will automatically update the model in Abaqus/CAE while retaining modifications made in Abaqus/CAE.

Key Advantage

Maintains relationship between NX and Abaqus/CAE assemblies
Enables seamless (1-click) geometry transfer or update
Eliminates the need for rework because geometric changes propagate without the loss of analysis features

Product Capabilities

  • Import of parts and assemblies
  • Option to export solids, surfaces or wireframe geometry
  • Automatic transfer of part colors
  • Suppressed / resume state update
  • Part position/orientation update
  • Geometric feature modifications
  • Floating license

After importing to Abaqus, further changes made in NX are propagated into Abaqus/CAE while retaining previously created Abaqus / CAE sets, surfaces, and analysis features.
