Swept, Surface Tools & Precision Freeform Modeling

Siemens NX Surface-Modeling
Create Complex, Controlled Surface Designs

Surface-Modeling in Siemens NX combines creativity with control. Learn to use Swept, Loft, and advanced surface commands to model complex shapes such as propellers, pipes, and smooth transitions. With step-by-step tutorials, you’ll gain confidence in creating technical freeform surfaces that meet engineering standards while maintaining aesthetic precision.

What you will learn

Modeling of technical free-form surfaces

Create a propeller

Siemens NX Surface: Swept basics
The course begins with the Swept command, which starts where the Extrude command ends with its options. This command can

ff-1-p

Siemens NX Surface: Swept basic, exercise
This exercise shows the typical work steps for creating a pipe elbow with the Swept command and modelling the flanges.

ff-2

Siemens NX Surface: Swept, from round to rectangular with alignment
How to connect sections with different numbers of curves? This is where the Alignment option comes in, with its many

ff-2-p

Siemens NX Surface: Swept, create a Y-Pipe
This exercise shows the typical work steps for creating a Y-pipe with the Swept command and modelling the flanges. It

ff-3

Siemens NX Surface: Swept, orientation methods
The Orientation option controls the orientation of the cross-section to the guide curve. Similar to how a spatula is repeatedly

ff-3-p1

Siemens NX Surface: Swept, Helix, Face Blend
A propeller, also known as a Kaplan turbine, is like a spiral staircase. This also has a flat pitch on

ff-3-p2

Siemens NX Surface: Swept with spine, helical curve, bridge curve
Swept, construction of a turbine casing. The cross-section of the opening follows a spiral helix. The cross-section is also scaled

ff-4

Siemens NX Surface: The connection types G0, G1, G2, G3
What do the settings G0, G1, G2, G3 mean when connecting curves and surfaces? What difference does it make in

ff-5

Siemens NX Surface: Surface analysing
The quality and manufacturability, can be checked by analysing surfaces. Are the surfaces perfectly connected, or do they have kinks?

ff-6

Siemens NX Surface: Create a perfect studio spline
The selected points and constraints result in a different spline depending on the selected curve degree. But which curve degree
