Review this image to locate the NX training modules you should complete before the Student Engineering Conference.  Prerequisites for Student TrainingPlease
complete the following steps BEFORE attending NX training at the
Engineering Student Conference. The trainers will be unable to assist
with installation issues at the conference. STEP 1: Please go to the links above to obtain the installation files for STAR-CCM+
and NX. STEP 2: We require that you
install and test the software by opening a new file before the session since
Siemens will not have time to troubleshoot licensing issues during the
