Solid Edge is an industry-leading mechanical design system with exceptional tools for creating and managing 3D digital prototypes. With superior core modeling and process workflows, a unique focus on the needs of specific industries, and fully integrated design management, Solid Edge guides projects toward an error free, accurate design solution. Solid Edge modeling and assembly tools enable your engineering team to easily develop a full range of products, from single parts to assemblies containing thousands of components. Tailored commands and structured workflows accelerate the design of features common in specific industries and you ensure accurate fit and function of parts by designing, analyzing and modifying them within the assembly model. With Solid Edge, your products come together right first time, every time.

Solid Edge is the only mainstream mechanical system that merges design management capabilities with the CAD tools that designers use every day. Solid Edge customers have a choice of scalable product data management solutions that manage designs as quickly as they are created. Practical tools for managed collaboration help to better coordinate design team activities and remove the errors that result from miscommunication. Product and process complexity is a growing concern for manufacturing organizations. Thousands of companies around the world have come to rely on Solid Edge to battle this increasing complexity head-on.

Taking advantage of Solid Edge’s family of modular and integrated solutions, they are first to benefit from the CAD industry’s most functional innovations, first to complete their designs, first to market with an error-free product.

Design Management for Engineers

Effective design management is essential to achieving time-to-market, quality and cost objectives of design organizations. Solid Edge Insight unites design management capabilities with the powerful Solid Edge CAD tools that engineers and designers use every day. Solid Edge Insight is an innovative solution that seamlessly integrates CAD, design management and web-based collaboration into a single tool that is easy to implement and easy to manage. Insight removes the perceived barriers to successful PDM implementation, while still providing the fundamental capabilities that companies expect in order to successfully manage design data.

Built on top of proven tools developed by Microsoft, Insight manages and leverages product information in a manner that is unobtrusive and transparent in the daily CAD work routine. With Solid Edge Insight, it is impossible to have a drawing file that is out of date from the 3D model or have unreleased parts in a released assembly — essential control factors when sharing information in a collaborative workflow.

Unlike conventional product data management systems, Solid Edge Insight is not a separate software package with additional commands and long implementation timelines. Instead, Insight is an integral component of Solid Edge, available at no additional cost, which requires no user training and can be implemented in hours instead of months or years. read more...
