Over the years there have only been a few disruptive moments in the design software world.
In the past, you needed to contact a Siemens solution partner (like Geometric Solutions) to get a quote and buy a copy of Solid Edge. Now you are able to directly purchase a Siemens Solid Edge bundle on your own without the help of a Seimens partner. Siemens is also offering a free 45 day trial of Solid Edge ST10 to try before you buy. The Siemens Solid Edge demo/trial applies to both downloaded version and the streaming version of Solid Edge.
It probably goes without saying that human beings are critical to product lifecycles from assembly and manufacturing, to consumer use and acceptance, to maintenance and repair. This, by the way, includes the health and safety aspects of assembly operations. However, the human element is often considered late in the process, usually after production issues arise and often after workers have been injured.
Ensure product quality by understanding the impact of dimensional variation before design release – that’s the value of Variation Analysis software to your manufacturing processes. Explore the software and examine the solutions it offers by attending the next episode in our “Simulation Nation 2015” series, “Variation Analysis (VSA).
