NX Mechatronic Concept Designer: Where innovation meets efficiency
NX Mechatronic Concept Designer: Where innovation meets efficiency
NX Mechatronic Concept Designer (MCD) is the ideal solution for prototype development in a collaborative environment involving multiple business departments.
With powerful capabilities NX MCD enables the creation of customized solutions on the specific needs of each customer, eliminating the need for expensive testing and physical prototypes for customized products.
What are the advantages of NX Mechatronic Concept Designer?
- Reduction of 30% of machine development times.
- Improvement of collaboration between departments.
- Elimination of physical prototypes.
Physics in the service of design
Mechatronic Concept Designer is a physics-based interactive simulation tool: this translates into the ability to go beyond the simple model. Finally it is possible not only to have control over the aesthetic performance, but also to verify the actual functionality of the machine already from the early stages of the development cycle.
The prototype made with Mechatronic Concept Designer can return valuable information about the behavior of the machine or the reproduced system, ensuring that it already works before it is built.
From kinematic aspects to material strength to information on collision behavior and the impact of the surrounding environment: interactive simulation enables predicting the operation of the machine and allows for error detection and correction.
Creates universal output
The output that NX Mechatronics Concept Designer returns can be used to continue refining designs without the need to re-master the data so that it:
- Mechanical designers can use conceptual models for detailed design
- Electrical designers can use model data to select sensors and actuators
- Automation designers can use the cams and operating sequence information from the model for software development
Interoperability between Siemens NX MCD and Solid Edge
Solid Edge 2023 not only unlocks the power of your design data but also preserves the value of your customers’ work over time.
Data stored in Solid Edge can, in fact, be exchanged with the solution part of the Siemens Xcelerator NX MCD (Mechatronics Concept Designer) portfolio.
In the video you will find an example of a material handling system designed with Solid Edge and its operation validated and modified using Siemens NX Mechatronic Concept Designer.
Kraftblock – Powerful and ecofriendly energy storage solutions
Since 2018, Kraftblock has been using the free Solid Edge license for startups and has been enthusiastic about the functionality of Siemens' CAD and development software.Festo, the leading factory and process automation company uses Mechatronics Concept Designer to develop flexible packaging machines for the cosmetics industry.
"The use of Mechatronic Concept Designer had two basic objectives. First, we wanted to find a way to see if we could meet the customer's requirements in terms of cycle speed, production, etc., and to show the results to the customer. Mechatronics Concept Designer allows us to easily visualize motion sequences of individual conveyors or groups of conveyors. On the other hand, we needed a reliable simulation tool so that we could accurately design the Multi-Carrier-System while also taking into account the physical forces involved."
