Tiivistelmä
The necessity of this project came when TAMK got a license for NX-Siemens software. As all the software, it requires some time and patience at beginning to get familiarize with the first basic tools. In order to make this time more pleasant, it was decided to create some kind of resource to help the interested ones in it.
The purpose, then, was creating a basic explanation in an instruction format. As NX is extremely complex, it was chosen to focus on structural and thermal analysis as are the more general problems related to these kind of problems.
The methodology was organized in the following planning task. First, came the theoretical part where was explained some basic concepts, as finite elements method, that should be known beforehand. After, it came the main part of the thesis which was doing a research in NX-Siemens in order to get familiar with the specific basic tools and dominate both type of analysis to interpret the results that were obtained. Finally, it came the part to organize all the results and knowledge acquired during the research to write a properly basic instructions for NX.
The instruction part is composed by two basic examples, one for each kind of analysis, which are explained step by step the way to solve them with NX always followed with pictures and commentaries that makes it easy to follow.
To conclude, even it is easy to get some basic knowledge through this project about NX, more work will need to be done to explain more of the endless options and tools this software is capable of. Also, it would be interesting to compare NX with other similar software in order to see the clear benefits from it.
