NXOpen Java API Reference — Package Overview

This is the Javadoc-style API reference for NXOpen when used from Java. It is a pure alphabetical package/class/method reference (no conceptual guide content) — for concepts and getting-started material, see nxopen-prog-guide\ instead.

Navigation quirk (for future scraping sessions)

This book does not use the normal iframe#xhtml + accordion pattern used by narrative guides. It's a real Javadoc frameset. The content lives in the first <iframe> on the page, which has no id/name attribute: document.querySelectorAll('iframe')[0].contentDocument. Navigate by reading that iframe's own <a> elements and clicking them (via JS .click() or computer clicks) — do not try to fetch the underlying docs.sw.siemens.com/documentation/external/.../nxopen/<pkg>/<Class>.html URLs directly; they return AccessDenied without first loading the wrapper page (which sets a signing cookie).

Top-level packages

Notes on scope/omissions

• Package descriptions above are condensed from the one-line Javadoc summary shown in the package-overview table; several packages have no summary text in the vendor table at all (noted "no summary shown").
• Two package names were cut off mid-scrape (nxopen.automat... near the start of the alphabet, and one package beginning nxopen.elec... between dseplatform and the features.* group) — likely nxopen.automation/similar and an electrical-routing-related package (e.g. nxopen.electrical or nxopen.electricalrouting). Re-verify by reopening the Java reference Overview page and reading that exact byte range if a complete package name list is needed.
• This index intentionally does not enumerate classes within each package — see per-package files (where created) for class lists, or click Packages → package name in the live doc to browse.
