Solid Edge V20

Key ThemesDesign Collaboration across all points of the value chain in support of PLMContinued investment in Massive AssembliesEngineering Productivity and Customer-focused Enhancements



Design Collaboration across all points of the value chain in support of PLM



The Need for Collaboration has never been higher

More companies competing and operating on global stage

V20 Continues to build on design collaboration tools of previous versions

Taking Advantage of New Teamcenter Architecture

Efficient Access for remote connections

Re using and repurposing existing dataCreate new design variants in less time

More collaboration opportunities with more translation capabilities



Solid Edge is the first CAD application to support Solid Edge is the first CAD application to support New Teamcenter Service Oriented ArchitectureNew Teamcenter Service Oriented Architecture

More Efficient access to single server from central DB over WAN

No need for synchronized servers in each zoneImproved Remote AccessRobust Performance & Transaction Integrity

Structure Editor – Solid Edge Embedded ClientNew interface for re-using existing assemblies to create new projects in a managed Teamcenter environment

Clone existing assembliesLocally revise, save-asReuse portions of the assembly treeUse Virtual and real components

Quickly re-use data, leverage design assets


ACAD 2D Migration

Massive Assemblies broadens footprint in Plant Equipment Design Market


Massive Assemblies broadens footprint in Plant Equipment Design Market

Plant Equipment Design has stringent requirements for management of large assemblies for:

Individual machines and factory floorIntegration of machines in a single or multiple production lines.

Plant layout in functional or geometric regions, Common Piping, wiring and other ancillaries

Solid Edge now has:Zones

Help designers isolate areas of large assembliesIncreases massive assembly performance

Machine and Factory LayoutManipulate sub-assemblies fast

Component Grouping Keeps BOM and assembly structures organized

Drawing Review Mode Open drawings of massive assemblies in seconds

Solid Edge advanced assembly design capabilities have been used by many companies such as VAI, Anglo Platinum and Krones to layout factory floors and design equipment for their plants of 100,000+ components.

Solid Edge advanced assembly design capabilities have been used by many companies such as VAI, Anglo Platinum and Krones to layout factory floors and design equipment for their plants of 100,000+ components.


Zones

Solid Edge is the first mid range modeler to take advantage of ZonesAllow designers to define a permanent design envelope to isolate areas of large designs they are responsible for at a sub system level

Boosts PerformanceHelps designers focus on their design responsibility at sublevel

Intelligent caching Retrieves only parts in the zone, without having to open component files to determine if they lie in the zone or notSignificant performance boost when switching zones or opening a massive assembly

Quickly open/show/hide selected zonesComponents easily added or removed based on Zone CriteriaMakes working with Massive Assemblies more Manageable


Machine and Factory Layout

Copy, Move, Rotate or array existing sub assemblies within an assemblyAdjacent relationships are broken while maintaining internal relationships

Adjacent relationships can be re-established with the new assembly

Position with drag, coordinates, vectors or exiting components or other traditional CAD methods

Quickly build multiple copies of parts or subassembliesEfficiently layout factory floors with machinery and connecting systems such as conveyors and trunk work


Component Grouping

Allows designers to efficiently collect parts and sub assembliesinto organized groupsOrganize Assembly structures

Expand / CollapseReorder multiple components at onceUngroupNested Grouping

Allows easy component structuringLeaves BOM and Assembly Relationships undisturbed

Selection functions - Allows grouped components to be controlled from single collector

Quickly Activate / Inactivate orShow / Hide Components

Speeds up selections for animation, move part, fasteners and query selection


‘Drawing Review Mode’ allows rapid opening of drawing for reviewing, measuring or printing no matter how big or detailed the drawing is.

Drawing can be fully loaded after opening if required (for updates/edits)

Drastically decreases time to do drawing reviews

Continued reduction of draft file size

Eliminate storing unneeded hidden edges

Drawings take up less storage space and open more quickly.

Drawing Review Mode


More 64 Bit Support

Increased support for Windows 64 bit OS architectureAllows massive assemblies and their associated Drawings to benefit increase in available resources

Insight supports 64 bit Solid EdgeDeployment options now include

XP32

XP64 with 32 bit applications

XP64 with native 64 bit applications

and improved performance and reliability.

Goal Seeking

2D graphical engineering problem solving Similar to Excel

2D what-if engineering calculations with a combination of 2D parametric geometry, mathematical formulas, variables and part properties Knowing the target value of an engineering calculation, goal seeking allows users to set certain parameters, while the system varies other factors to achieve the desired result.

Available across all Solid Edge 2D operations, Draft, Part profile, assy layoutFind Center of Area, perimeter, moment of inertia and more

Results can be used to drive 3D geometry in a true hybrid 2D/3D design environmentAvoids Labor intensive iterative calculations, allowing engineers to do ‘What If’ scenarios


Feature Grouping
