From idea to impact: Accelerating the engineering workflows

Siemens NX Performance Predictor adds powerful tools for advanced designers.

This episode of Industry Insights & Trends is brought to you by Siemens.

Engineering design is an iterative process. It’s been said that engineering is not about design, but redesign, and the stepwise pathway toward verified, proved in production ready parts and assemblies is frequently restrained by testing and validation.

But what if the design tools can themselves flag the designer about trouble very early in the design process? It’s a “shift left” in the design timeline, and it represents a way to build better, faster and with less risk. Advanced engineering software tools such as Siemens NX Performance Predictor deliver these benefits without the need to extensively retrain design personnel.
