Siemens Solid Edge
Siemens Solid Edge is a portfolio of affordable, easy-to-use software tools that addresses all aspects of the product development process–3D design, simulation, manufacturing, data management and more. Siemens solid edge combines the speed and simplicity of direct modeling with the flexibility and control of parametric design – made possible with synchronous technology.
Siemens Solid Edge advanced technology brings generative modeling, additive manufacturing and reverse engineering capabilities. Enabled by unique Siemens convergent modeling technology, these capabilities work alongside traditional Solid Edge editing tools to seamlessly integrate existing products into your development process.
Solid Edge Generative Design
Solid Edge supplements powerful design tools with topology optimization, generative design speeds the creation of lighter components perfectly suited for manufacture via today’s additive processes. Solid Edge helps to refine the shape for more traditional manufacturing.
Solid Edge Convergent Modeling
Siemens Solid Edge allows you to incorporate mesh models into the design workflow to create designs. You can also seamlessly combine traditional “b-rep” solid models with triangular mesh models without time-consuming and error-prone conversions. Convergent Modeling by Siemens allows for classic b-rep operations on digitally scanned 3D data and models born out of generative design, reducing rework while supporting modern additive manufacturing processes for complex shapes.
Additive manufacturing solutions
Solid Edge enables you to create world class products using the latest additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques. Generative design combines powerful design tools with topology optimization, speeding the creation of lighter components perfectly suited for immediate manufacture via additive processes. Helps prepare geometries for Additive Manufacturing Techniques & Outputs models in 3D Printer machine readable format.
Solid Edge Reverse Engineering
In comparison to powerful 3D design tools, Siemens Solid Edge delivers smart functionality to work with mesh, or triangle-based data. Bodies can be imported from other systems, digitally scanned or products of a generative design analysis. All of these come in as a mesh of triangles (or facets) and in many cases require further design modification.
Solid Edge provides intuitive mesh cleanup tools to remove any errors that may have resulted from the import process, allowing designers to obtain a workable set of triangles. Once you have a sound mesh, regions can be identified and created, and those regions can be further extracted as surfaces and edited using traditional surface modeling tools.
Augmented Reality
Bring your ideas to life with design visualization.
Solid Edge Augmented Reality allows users to experience true-scale digital prototypes in real-world environments, connecting the digital scenario with the physical world. This helps a design to be showcased in its intended environment compellingly, even before it is built.
Solid Edge Sheet Metal Design
To help unique sheet metal design challenges like manufacturability, Solid Edge streamlines the entire product development process for sheet metal. CAD design through flat pattern and drawing development. Unlike general-purpose CAD tools, Solid Edge includes sheet metal-specific features, like Emboss, Dimple, Drawn Cutout, Bead, Contour Flange, Straight Brake, and Etch. And with integrated applications for analysis, NC programming, and related tasks, Solid Edge helps you speed design time, improve quality, and reduce costs.
Solid Edge Modular Plant Design
From rudimentary 2D pipe planning to full-scale 3D piping systems, Solid Edge modular plant design solutions streamline workflow processes. Linked 3D piping, support for piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), and Isogen® output ensure that your designed products will be right every time. These software modules allow users to capture design intent or logic in a 2D schematic, then develop 2D P&IDs into a comprehensive 3D model of a process plant.
Photo Realistic Rendering
A portrayal of your finished product can help you communicate your design to both internal and external stakeholders. The beauty of rendering is that you can generate realistic-looking photo-quality images before you even cut the first piece of material to manufacture your product.
Solid Edge Simulation
Solid Edge Simulation Built-in finite element analysis (FEA) allows design engineers to digitally validate part and assembly designs within the Solid Edge environment. Solid Edge Simulation significantly reduces the need for physical prototypes, which lowers your material and testing costs, and saves design time.
-Capabilities – Motion , Stress , Vibration, Buckling & Thermal Simulation.
Solid Edge Flow simulation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
Simcenter FLOEFD for Solid Edge supports flow simulation with an embedded CFD simulation tool for easy, fast and accurate fluid flow and heat transfer analysis.
Fully embedded in Solid Edge, FLOEFD enables design engineers to frontload CFD, or move simulation early into the design process where it can help examine trends and eliminate less desirable design options.
Technical Publications
The ability to clearly communicate the correct manufacturing, installation and maintenance procedures for your designs is essential to the performance of your products and the success of your business. Using Solid Edge technical publications solutions, your designers can quickly create many types of technical documents—from simple illustrations for end user manuals to interactive 3D technical documents for manufacturing and service. You can reduce the need for specialist technical authors or external services and produce top quality documents in-house.
