What kind of modifications can be performed using synchronous modeling?

Synchronous modeling is a powerful feature in NX that combines the benefits of parametric and direct modeling approaches. It allows users to make changes easily and intuitively, enhancing design flexibility. One of the key strengths of synchronous modeling is its ability to perform both geometric and dimensional modifications on a model.

When working with geometric modifications, users can manipulate the shape, layout, and form of a model directly in the graphics window. This may involve moving, rotating, or resizing features, as well as changing the topology of the design, all without the constraints typically associated with parametric models.

Dimensional modifications, on the other hand, refer to altering the size, distance, or angles related to the dimensions of a part. This can be accomplished quickly by interacting with dimension annotations or using handles to adjust size and proportions seamlessly.

Together, these capabilities provide a comprehensive toolkit for designers, enabling them to modify models in a way that responds to real-time design needs and changes. The flexibility to make both types of modifications makes synchronous modeling particularly useful in iterative design processes, where fast adaptations are often required.
