Introduction of Synchronous Technology in NX 5. A fully integrated Spreadsheet linked to Feature-Based Modeling is also included.įirst release of the new 'Next Generation' version of Unigraphics and I-DEAS, called NX, beginning the transition to bring the functionality and capabilities of both Unigraphics and I-DEAS together into a single consolidated product. In the area of Assembly Modeling the new capabilities include Component Filters, Faceted Representations, and Clearance Analysis between multiple Components. Unigraphics V11.0 is released with enhancements in Industrial Design and Modeling including Bridge Surface, Curvature Analysis for Curve and Surfaces, Face Blends, Variable Offset Surface, etc. Over 21,000 seats of Unigraphics are being used worldwide. Unigraphics becomes GM's corporate CAD system. UniSolids V1.0 is released, marking the industry's first true interactive Solid Modeling software offering.ĭuring a period of financial difficulties McDonnell Douglas Automation Company (McAuto) sells its commercial services organization, including the Unigraphics organization and product, to EDS which at that time is owned by GM. The code became a foundation for a product called UNI-GRAPHICS, later sold commercially as Unigraphics in 1975.ġ976 McDonnell Douglas Corporation buys United Computing. The company purchases the Automated Drafting and Machining (ADAM) software code from MCS in 1973.
