Solid Edge Version 20
With superior core modeling and process workflows, a unique focus on the needs of specific industries and fully integrated design management, Solid Edge provides advanced core modeling and process workflows as well as fully integrated designed management. The software offers flexible modeling, digital prototyping, process applications, production drafting, design management, ease of adoption and interoperability.
Highlights of Version 20
Solid Edge Version 20 focuses on massive assembly modeling, managed collaboration, and engineering productivity.
- Solid Edge
Version 20 delivers eleven major modeling advances, all focused around making working with massive assemblies (more than 100,000 parts) easier and more productive.
- A new
dedicated Structure Editor provides an interface for re-using existing assemblies to create new projects in a managed Teamcenter environment. Included with the Solid Edge Embedded Client, Structure Editor allows cloning existing assemblies, revising, saving-as or re-using portions of the assembly tree, allowing ready repurposing of data within a managed environment.
- Solid Edge V20
adds function that makes migrating from AutoCAD easier, including XREFS and color 7, while its stand alone drafting environment should prove more friendly to maintaining drawings.
- Additional
translator functionality improves Solid Edge's interface to external systems, including a new CATIA V5 bidirectional translator, updates supporting Pro/E Wildfire 3, and support for STL files as input for viewing.
- More than 170 other enhancements are also included in this release.
Solid Edge V20 Review
Hey don't take our word for it. Read the Solid Edge Version 20 Review by Technicom's Ray Kurland. Based in New Jersey, Technicom's Kurland specializes in understanding the competitive positioning of products in the mechanical CAD/CAM industry. He has Engineering Degrees from Rutgers University and New York University. He frequently speaks at industry conferences, and he invented the term "variable driven modeling," which describes many of today's modern mechanical CAD/CAM systems.
