Delivering innovation faster than ever before

How do I capture my ideas as fast as I think them?

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind?

How do I thrive in a multi-CAD world?

When will CAD be so simple anyone can use it?

Solid Edge with Synchronous TechnologyChallenges to Innovation



How do I capture my ideas as fast as I think them?



Having to pre-plan designs for future editsLack of ability to make quick changes during the modeling process

How do I capture my ideas as fast as I think them?So why can’t you do this today?

Fast face inference sketchingAutomatic sketch plane selectionUnified 2D and 3D for zero command transitions

Region drag handlesDrag 2D regions into 3D geometry

Geometry modify handlesSteering Wheel speeds moves, rotations, alignmentsAlign to any geometric element for exact results

How do you capture ideas as fast as you think them? By modeling faster with grab-n-go tools

Create models faster with little or no commands



Fast iterative development by adding or redefining design constraints to completed models

Add 3D Driving Dimensions and 3D Model Constraints to any part of the model

Dimensions can be locked, dynamic, or equation basedReconfigure 3D Driving Dimensions by drag and dropConfigurable parts using equations, the Variable Table, or Excel

How do you capture ideas as fast as you think them?By designing with 3D Driving Dimensions

Develop models with full intelligence without pre-planning



Features are stored in a Collection NOT a linear tree

Allows selection of features as they were createdFeatures can be moved, deleted, reordered and sortedFeature edits or operations will not force model regeneration

How do you capture ideas as fast as you think them? By collecting features not forcing order

Delete, reorder, group, features as fast as you can move your mouse

Organized your feature collection regardless of create time or order



get up to a 100x faster design experienceFaster time to market—means more revenueMore products—with no more costsMore iterations—means higher quality designs

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind?



Simple changes require “design interrogation” to understand how to make a changeUnpredictable results from poorly constrained modelsInability to directly edit a completed model

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind?So why can’t you do this today?



A unique Synchronous Solve allows edits to geometry regardless of creation order

Eliminates parent/child issues that dictate what can be editedNewly added holes can drive previously created faces (!)Proprietary and unique to Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology

How do you change my models as fast as I change my mind?By using a Synchronous Solve for unbounded edit flexibility

OR

Pull the face

Move the hole

Faster planned or un-planned edits as models don’t have to be re-designed



Feature parameter manipulation without ordered regeneration

Certain features are best driven from key parameters but rarely affect most of the model

Holes: change type, size and locationPatterns: change spacing, count, size, shape on any instanceThinwall: maintain thickness and allow edits to “resulting faces”Rounds: change radius and maintain edge

How do I change my models as fast as I change my mind?With procedural Feature and eliminate regeneration

Establish, maintain, and edit design intent without expensive regeneration



Live Rules automatically finds and maintains geometric conditions during drag or dimensional edits

Co-planar, tangent, concentric and horizontal /vertical, etcDoes not require any defined relationshipsOptions to find more or less relationships

Concentric

Re-Round

Tangent

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind? By recognizing and maintaining intent with Live Rules

Move only the red hole and get the exact results—even with NO relationships

Intuitive edit methods where novice users will “get it right”



Dynamic DimensionsModifiable dimensions that allow external changeDirectional control on edit

Locked DimensionsModifiable dimensions that are locked from external change

Equation Dimensions3D Model Constraints

Edit the design by applying constraints such as parallel, perpendicular, etc. Lock constraints to maintain design intent

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind?By adding 3D Driving Dimensions to a completed model

Total freedom to make un-planned changes and establish rules when they are known

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind?By making changes without an ordered regeneration

A simple radius or dimensional change can cause regeneration of all this

Radius change 51 sec 2 25x

Move 15 sec < 1 sec > 15x

File size 8 mb 2.1 mb ¼ the size

In a simple case: Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology makes the same edit 25x faster



…perform ECO’s in seconds instead of hoursImproved customer responsive—more repeat businessIncreased reuse—less costs in re-developmentFewer modifications steps—less chance for errors

How do I change my model as fast as I change my mind? By eliminating model regeneration during design

With 5 engineers x 25 ECO's/year x 5 changes/ECO x $50/hour =

Total ECO costs $ 17,517 $ 43



How do I thrive in a multi-CAD world?



Product development is distributed across different CAD systemsThe lack of tools to change supplier created designsSpending time understanding “internal” models just to make a simple change

How do I thrive in a multi-CAD world?So why can’t you do this today?



Automatically recognize featuresBy function (such as Ribs and Cutouts), parallel, equal diameters, and more…Results can be edited and saved as user defined features for later use

Cut / Paste selected geometry for library use

How do I thrive in a multi-CAD world?By auto-recognizing features with suggestive selection

Fast edits begin with robust selection. Make “feature” like edits, even on imported data



Use all create and edit tools in the same manner with foreign data

Move, rotate, change blends with grab and go edit toolsMaintain implied intent with Live Rules without explicit relationshipsAutomatically find important geometry with Selection ManagerAdd and save editable Fixed or Dynamic Dimensions

How do I thrive in a multi-CAD world? By editing any model as if it were your own

Eliminate the cost of re-model foreign data by making intelligent changes directly



…and make changes up to 100x faster than the supplier –even SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor

Less downtime waiting for supplier turnaroundsIn-house changes eliminates supplier change feesEliminate quality issues with edited 3D models and not 2D markups

How do I thrive in a multi-CAD world?By editing supplier data as easily as native models

With 5 engineers x 100 outsourced models x 2 changes/model x $50/hour =

Total outsource change costs $ 12,639 $ 14 Note: Not included are the vendor change fees



When will CAD be so simple anyone

can use it?



Only the “engineer” can work with design data but many must access itNew 2D users can’t learn 3D without understanding parametricsOccasional users can’t make expert “grade” changes

When will CAD be so simple anyone can use it?So why can’t you do this today?

"In a broad sense, we can say that information workers ... are not yet empowered to collaborate in the way that they should…”
