Introduction to Solid Edge

solid-edge-basics

The Solid Edge portfolio by Siemens is compiled of affordable, easy-to-use software tools that address all aspects of the product development process. Solid Edge combines the speed and simplicity of direct modeling with the flexibility and control of parametric design – made possible with synchronous technology.

Watch Dan Turk, a Certified NX Professional Elite 100 User and Solid Edge Expert, demonstrate the possibilities of Solid Edge for users at any skill level.

What Is Solid Edge?

Solid Edge is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) program created by Siemens Digital Industries Software. Running on Microsoft Windows, Solid Edge incorporates solid modeling, assembly modeling, and 2D orthographic view functionality for mechanical designers.

Moreover, Solid Edge can be linked to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technologies such as Teamcenter.

Solid Edge Features

Solid Edge is a complete product development portfolio. Capabilities include:

• Cloud-based collaboration
• 3D Design
• Electrical design
• Simulation
• Data management
• Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
• 3D printing
• Technical publication

Solid Edge Design

Solid Edge Design is the only mainstream mechanical system that unites CAD tools designers use daily with design management capabilities. This powerful combination gives Solid Edge users practical tools for managed collaboration while coordinating activities across design teams. With these tools, users can eliminate miscommunications and get your product to market first with innovative, error-free designs.

Solid Edge Manufacturing

This solution includes state-of-the-art techniques that deliver accuracy and efficiency while producing top-tier products. From traditional to new manufacturing processes, Solid Edge defines and executes CNC machining, nesting, cutting, bending, molding, welding, assembling, 3D printing, and additive manufacturing.

Solid Edge Simulation

Users who are required to solve more challenging engineering problems and are looking for a scalable upgrade path will enjoy the simulation capabilities offered by Solid Edge. This includes: Solid Edge: Simulation Express for individual parts, simulation for assembly analysis, Femap for defining and analyzing complete systems, and FloEFD for Solid Edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
