NX MCD
Validate the Machine, Before It’s Built.
INTRODUCTION
NX MCD (Mechatronics Concept Designer) breaks down the divide between mechanical, electrical and automation engineering, so your teams design machines together instead of in sequence. A shared functional model gives every discipline a common language: mechanical designers build concept models for detailed design, electrical designers use the same model to select sensors and actuators, and automation designers pull cam and sequence data straight from it for software development, all without remastering data between teams.
Unlike tools that only show geometry, NX MCD lets your teams validate that a design actually works before it’s built. Using a physics-based, interactive simulation, your teams add joints, motion, sensors, actuators and collision behavior to the model, then run it to catch integration issues while the design is still a concept, not after it reaches the shop floor.
