Play Video Faster performance and memory load time when developing large assemblies. New support for embedded components inside the assembly with no file reference, for simplified supplier data workflow. Synchronize files with cloud storage, while you work; view, measure and markup any computer-aided design (CAD) on any device; securely share projects with anyone; and, review designs in augmented reality (AR) on phones and tablets. Solid Edge manufacturing solutions provide fast and easy feature-based machining, allowing you to automatically determine the machining process for a wide range of features. Reduce time spent on reverse engineering with lightning-fast performance enhancements including deviation analysis. Open, save and revise data from Teamcenter, Siemens’ powerful PLM solution, with tight integration to ensure your working with the right data, every time. Go from engineering to documentation quickly and seamlessly working directly with Solid Edge 3D models; leveraging the digital twin ensures all changes to the original design are easily incorporated into existing publications. Better integration between flow simulation and structural simulation help create a more accurate digital twin. Add fluid pressure and temperatures results from Simcenter FLOEFD for Solid Edge for analysis in Solid Edge Simulation. Digitally validating and optimizing parts, assemblies and complete systems early in the design process reduces the need for physical prototypes, saving time and costs.
