Solid Edge is the most full-featured hybrid 2D / 3D CAD using synchronous technology to speed up the design and editing process, as well as extended support for the reuse of imported geometry. Solid Edge is the key component of the Velocity Series ™ solutions portfolio and is characterized by excellent tools for modeling parts and assemblies, drawing up drawings, transparent data management, built-in module of the finite element analysis, which allows you to successfully cope with the growing complexity of the designers of the products.


The new version of Solid Edge offers advanced functionality based on synchronous technology, which significantly speeds up the process of designing products, simplifies changes, import and apply data created in various CAD. The latest version includes improvements in the field of finite-element analysis, design data management, as well as more than a thousand changes defined by users.


Implementing the plan of synchronous technology Siemens PLM Software has expanded the use of synchronous technology throughout the system. In addition to supporting the modeling and leaf bodies implemented in previous versions, synchronous models can be used directly in assemblies - for example, when designing pipelines, farms, wiring and other types of products. For the first time, associativity was introduced between synchronous details, which allows the user to create and edit its intention to, during or at the end of the assembly design process.

Solid Edge provides the ability to work with synchronous and conventional (ordered in the construct tree) structural elements in a single integrated design environment. Users can use synchronous structural elements to speed up the design and flexible models editing process, and elements with a construction tree - to design cast parts and parts derived from machining. Elements with a construction tree in existing models can be selectively converted to synchronous, which provides a greater flexibility and simplicity in the use of the system.

Since the number of enterprises carrying out the transition from other 3D systems to Solid EDGE and using the advantages of synchronous technology increases, the possibility of combining 2D drawings with existing 3D models is another way to improve performance. Technological dimensions on 2D drawings can now be automatically transmitted to the appropriate imported 3D model. The resulting "production" 3D sizes can be immediately edited, and the imported 3D model varies simultaneously due to synchronous technology.

Solid Edge has an application for the finite elemental analysis, which includes new types of loads - torque and load in the cylindrical support defined by the user restrictions, as well as new methods for connecting parts in assemblies, such as bolted connections and connections of ribs for sheet parts. Model simplification tools make it possible to rapidly obtain the calculation results, and improved visualization tools are to see the model from the inside. The model can be corrected both using synchronous technology and using the construction tree. Solid Edge provides control of models of parts and assemblies in the early stages of design, which reduces the timing of the output of products to the market and the cost of manufacturing prototypes.

In Solid Edge - thousands of certain improvement clients, which increases the return on this product at all stages of the process of designing products. New functionality appeared in various modules, including modeling of sheet bodies, pipelines and french structures, assembly management and drawing tools. Improvements in the design environment of leaf bodies include new types of corners, element of etching designations of parts and other geometry, as well as technological elements in the sheet metal scan, for example, transporting ears. Solid Edge continues to raise the bar in the field of creating drawings in which you can now transfer all the technological dimensions and notation, designations of parts in the assembly, and even present the details with different colors of the lines in the drawing, borrowing them from 3D model. New "international" drawings make it possible to use different sets of characters in different languages ​​of the world in one drawing or in one callout. A simplified user interface includes a fully customizable radial menu, which reduces the number of mouse displacements. Transparent controls of the management of structural elements and details, as well as the dialogues of the reduced size commands provide the largest area of ​​the graphic workspace.
