CAD Automation

Siemens NX is one of the most advanced CAD systems used across many engineering industries. At the core of NX lies the Master Model concept, which enables designers to quickly generate variations of similar components—such as bolts, brackets, or housings—through parameterization.

However, when components become highly complex, such as turbine wheels or free‑form geometries, traditional parameterization becomes difficult, time‑consuming, and often impractical. This is where SoftART AG provides a powerful extension.

SoftART has developed BScript, a custom scripting language for NX that enables efficient, flexible, and fully automated construction of complex, highly variable components. With BScript, even intricate free‑form surfaces can be described precisely and generated automatically—significantly reducing modeling effort and eliminating repetitive manual work.

By extending NX with tailored automation tools, we give engineers a powerful way to streamline complex design workflows, boost productivity, and accelerate the development of specialized components.

Typical applications of CAD automation include:

• Automated generation of parameterized component variants

• Modeling of free‑form surfaces and complex transitions

• Rule‑based construction of CAD models driven by engineering logic

• Batch creation of geometry for downstream simulation or manufacturing
