    NX 9 Tutorial - Online Instructor

    Chapter 1: Getting Started

    In this chapter, you will learn some of the most commonly used features of NX. Also, you will learn about the user interface.

    In NX, you construct 3D parts and use them to create 2D drawings and 3D assemblies.

    NX is Feature Based. Features are shapes that are combined to build a part. You can modify these shapes individually.

    Most of the features are sketch-based. A sketch is a 2D profile and can be extruded, revolved, or swept along a path to construct features.

    NX is parametric in nature. In NX, you can specify the parameters that define the shape and size of the geometry. Changing these parameters changes the geometry. For example, see the design of the body of a flange before and after modifying the parameters of its features.

    Starting NX

    Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar.

    Click All Programs.
