Women in Aeronautics and Astronautics
Overview
● How is CAD used in industry/research?
● What is different about NX from other CAD software?
● Today we’ll cover
○ Making parts
■ Creating sketches, extruding, revolving, cuts, constraints)
○ Controlling the orientation and view in NX
○ Creating assemblies from parts
○ Patterning
○ Drawings and rendering if time allows
● Access files for today at ter.ps/wiaaNXfiles
● Access drawing at ter.ps/wiaaNXdwg

Assemblies:
Start by placing component at Absolute CS

Place next component at “Absolute Displayed
Part” location, then drag to the side, or use Snap.
Assemblies:
Choose “Constrain” under Placement and use
Touch Align to place component
