Summary

The CADENAS Reuse Library for NX is a web-based system for the supply of 3D CAD manufacturer catalogs. Engineers and designers thereby obtain access to millions of 3D CAD components from over 700 manufacturer certified product catalogs. The intelligent engineering data can be inserted directly in NX simply per click for design support.

How are the contents licensed?

Licensing takes place via Siemens PLM. The number of licenses must match the number of NX end user licenses. The licensing of single work stations is not possible.

Can the extension be tested beforehand?

NX (12.02 or higher) is coming with a CADENAS Reuse Library. By default a demo catalog is activated. It allows access to only a few components for every vendor. After licensing the CADENAS Reuse Library it contains the entire intelligent engineering data with the whole component portfolio for every vendor
