In the article "Lifesaving drones design using CAD software" written by Siemens (2019), it explains what the Siemens NX CAD software is and elaborates on capabilities of the software. Siemens presented NX CAD software as a reliable and effective solution that aids in producing better product designs more efficiently. The NX software provides unique features such as identifying critical areas in prototype designs and selecting the appropriate material to use (Siemens, 2019). The software also has a function called NX journal, which enables the automation of standard routines, such as testing product designs in a simulation, with various conditions to evaluate the performance of the design, without the need to manufacture the product design (Siemens, 2019). Additionally, the NX software has a shared workspace feature which allows team projects to work together across different departments. An example highlighted in the article is Zipline, a logistics robotic aircraft manufacturing company in Silicon Valley. The implementation of the NX software has allowed Zipline to create customizable, bottom-up bill of materials that provides a detailed mass buildup, which aided in the aircraft's development (NX Journaling, 2022). The various features of the NX CAD software has ultimately reduced design process time and improved Zipline's operation efficiency, giving the company a competitive advantage over its rivals. The NX CAD software is superior to other CAD softwares because of its NX journal, stimulation toolsets and its shared workspace features.
