Solid Edge is an industry-leading mechanical design system with exceptional     tools for creating and managing 3D digital prototypes                                             Features                                                                                                      Superior core modeling and process workflows that help engineers design      more rapidly by modeling parts more efficiently than other CAD system             

     Solid Edge harnesses the power of Parasolid ® - the modeling kernel owned      and developed by UGS and, at more than a million licensed seats, the de-facto      standard for 3D mechanical CAD.

Highly innovative parametric modeling tools allow designers to quickly create basic shapes and easily add common mechanical features like holes, rounds and chamfers, as well as more complex geometry such as draft angles, lofts and helical features.

And, for designer
s of more "stylistic" shapes such as those prevalent in consumer products and many other industries, Solid Edge's revolutionary Rapid Blue technology provides shape design tools that have enormous power and flexibility, while remaining easy to implement and use.

    Solid Edge easily tackles large assembly models that are fundamental to     mechanical design. Solid Edge customers are regularly creating massive     assemblies, topping more than 100,000 parts.

    Sheet metal is a core design capability of Solid Edge, with support for the     entire design-through-fabrication process. From streamlined modeling     commands that are tailored to the unique needs of sheet metal design through     flat pattern development and the creation of engineering drawings

    Solid Edge helps battle design complexity by creating functional 3D virtual prototypes that help you optimize and differentiate your     designs without having to produce expensive physical prototypes.

    Solid Edge contains an unmatched set of capabilities for the 2D     documentation process, with excellent drawing layout, detailing, annotation     and dimensioning controls that automatically comply with the mechanical     drafting standard you select.

    Using Quicksheet templates in Solid Edge, you can eliminate repetitive tasks     by pre-defining a drawing layout and creating new drawings by simply dragging     a different part or assembly into the template. All views then re-compute to     create the new drawing, including any derived views such as sections or detail     view, as well as parts lists and auto balloons
