I-DEAS

I-DEAS (Integrated Design and Engineering Analysis Software), a Computer-aided design software package originally produced by Structural Dynamics Research Corporation, is currently owned by Siemens PLM Software, (see History below) producers of the high-end NX CAD/CAM/CAE PLM solution-set.

Many I-DEAS users are transitioning, or considering transition, to a more current solution-set. One such transition path is to NX 5 which has enriched the NX product by incorporating many features of I-DEAS. Other users are transitioning through use of I-deas NX developed under Siemens PLM Software's I-DEAS Evolution of Excellence program designed to transfer and protect I-DEAS users' skills.
