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.
