Unigraphics NX software
NX is an interactive Computer-Aided Design,
Computer-Aided Manufacturing, and Computer-Aided
Engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) system.

• The CAD functions automate the normal
  engineering, design, and drafting capabilities
  found in today's manufacturing companies.
• The CAM functions provide NC programming for
  modern machine tools using the NX design model to
  describe the finished part.
• The CAE functions provide a number of product,
  assembly, and part performance simulation
  abilities, across a broad range of engineering
  disciplines.

Creating Solids

• Sketch a desired shape (two dimensional) and then
  turn it into a solid (three dimensional) by
  applying a desired operation.

• Create a feature from the sketch by extruding,
  revolving, sweeping, lofting and blending.

Applied features do not require a sketch. They
are applied directly to the model. Fillets (edge
blend) and chamfers are very common applied
features.
