Well, alas, I've taken another job with another company, andto my dismay, they're going to be switching from SW to NX5 andTeamCenter.
I know there are quite a few of you out there who have either madethe switch or are working with both systems. Wondering if you couldpass along any advice to help with the transition.
What training material helped the most?
Where are good resources to find help?
What toolbar/interface setup would you recommend?
What system settings would you recommend?
What about modeling techniques/workflow, what's the best way to"approach" a modeling task?
Do they have a certification program similar to the CSWP program?
What tools is NX going to have that SW doesn't? What tools is NXNOT going to have that SW does have?
One thing I've heard is that NX does not have configurations andweldments. I'm going to miss cofigurations dearly if that truly isthe case, since I used it so extensively. What will be the best wayto approach this in NX?
What mindset changes did you have to make when switching to NX?
Best place to turn to when you're stuck with a modelingchallenge/technical issue?
The company I currently work for designs large industrialequipment. Car shredder systems. So there is going to be a lot ofconveyors, air systems, hydraulic systems, electrical systems,control cabins, catwalk, vibratory feeders, chutes, LOTS ofweldments, HUGE assemblies, BIG bolts/nuts (1"-4" diameter), etc.What tools does NX have that will be the most useful for this typeof work?
I'm hoping that despite the transition to NX, I'll still be able tokeep my SW skills honed by doing continuing to do my personalprojects in SW (I'm planning on installing Beta '09 tonight), butI'm also excited to learn a new system and get a feel for the otherCAD tools that are out there on the market.
If you have any frank opinions regarding this subject and wouldrather not start a fight in the forum, feel free to email me yoursuggestions/comments to my work email: bruce.buck@metso.comSolidworksGeneral
