Solid Edge: A Complete Portfolio
Visualize and validate your ideas with next generation technology, from augmented reality to MBD
Speed your design process ten-fold with productivity gains in areas such as large assembly, sheet metal and data migration. Integrate next-generation technologies to create digital representations of your designs, making it quicker and easier to capture a digital twin of the physical product. Validate digital designs in a physical environment using new, photorealistic design visualization capabilities, so you can truly bring ideas to life.
Electromechanical design as it’s meant to be: a seamless integration of ECAD and MCAD
Create fully functional and manufacturable electromechanical designs in a seamless ECAD-MCAD environment where changes are highlighted interactively in both domains, minimizing design errors and shortening development time.
Fully optimized additive and subtractive manufacturing
Streamlined access to the latest manufacturing methods allow you to define and execute a wide range of manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, nesting, cutting, bending, molding, welding, assembling and additive manufacturing.
Put your designs in motion with simulation tools built for designers, powerful enough for analysts
Digitally validate and optimize parts, assemblies and complete systems early in the design process to reduce the need for physical prototypes and save time and costs. Three new levels of simulation capabilities are now offered: Solid Edge Premium, Solid Edge Simulation, and Solid Edge Simulation Advanced.
Communicate your digital design documentation globally
New and enhanced publishing tools allow users to import and export Solid Edge section views, publish vector graphics for PDF documents, define individual sizing for illustrations and produce images or vectors with transparent backgrounds.
Scalable, searchable and manageable data
From built-in data management to Teamcenter integration, Solid Edge’s scalable set of tools can meet the varying needs of all manufacturers. Search for drawings, parts and assemblies using file names and standard or custom properties for quick and easy access to data. One-step and quick-release workflows with email notifications offer simple processes for design approval. And, Solid Edge Requirements Management provides systematic and effective tracking and reporting on customer and regulatory design requirements.
Secure storage, viewing and markup of CAD files
The Solid Edge cloud-based portal provides secure storage, viewing, markup and sharing of CAD files. Now, you can also securely cloud-share Augmented Reality (AR) experiences through the Solid Edge Portal. Tablet/phone-based AR adds CAD models to real-world environments which
assists in design reviews and allow you to see how a product will look in its intended physical environment.

What's new
2D Nesting in Solid Edge
Solid Edge 2D Nesting leverages the most advanced, efficient nesting engine to generate best-in-class layouts optimized for two-dimensional cutting of sheet metal, wood, and other materials.
Nested cutting patterns reduce time, waste and cost when creating 2D shapes common in today’s products.
In the video, we demonstrate how you can quickly select which Solid Edge files you want to nest, and how flat pattern data is then automatically extracted, accelerating productivity.
Once you select your parts, Solid Edge identifies shapes with potential issues that need to be further investigated. This allows users to make informed decisions about whether certain cuts can be made, or if a redesign is required. Once complete, parts can be sent for nesting. Additional Solid Edge files, or other industry-standard formats like DWG or DXF, can be added as well.
Solid Edge allows you to conduct preliminary checks on part sizes to ensure they fit within the constraints of the machine tool being used. Also, quantities of parts can be easily adjusted all with great visual feedback on what is being selected. Once complete, sheet sizes can be selected. Multiple size sheets can even be selected to make the nesting process more efficient.
While the nesting process is running, Solid Edge continuously improves the nest, searching for the perfect combination of sheet sizes to reduce waste. You can use different sheet sizes simultaneously for an added advantage. In the example shown in the video, the most efficient nest can be selected based on sheet utilization, or which nest results in the smallest amount of leftover material.
Exporting the nests for manufacturing is quick and easy, using industry standard formats. The nests can also be sent to Solid Edge so additional drawings or reports can be created, or to create toolpaths in Solid Edge CAM Pro.

Additive Manufacturing in Solid Edge
Solid Edge 2020 offers advanced additive manufacturing processes and tools to ensure 3D printed parts are created right-first-time.
Features from print bed orientation to physical thread creation make Solid Edge the perfect way to manufacture parts using generative design, such as in the bracket design example we demonstrate in the video.
Solid Edge Additive Manufacturing provides users with a clear picture of the support material needed for a part. Users can visualize, identify, and isolate parts that will present issues for 3D printing, and resolve issues early in the design process. 3MF and STL formats are supported for final 3D printing, and users have full control over the resolution of the output.
From start to finish, Solid Edge streamlines access to the additive manufacturing processes and tools needed to make your designs a reality.

Data Management in Solid Edge
Solid Edge’s best-in-class integration with Teamcenter allows users to seamlessly and accurately search for files based on name, ID, description, custom attributes, and even shape. Reusing design data is made more flexible than ever, and can be performed using various tools.
A simple way to find a best-suited part in Solid Edge is by running Shape Search. Results are listed with previews in the embedded active workspace pane. If a newer version or revision is available, designers are assisted with notifications on the pathfinder, enabling them to quickly replace and update to the latest working design, reducing rework and errors. Shape Search results can be directly reused in the assembly, improving the overall productivity and efficiency of designers.
Adopting a model-based design approach in manufacturing is supported by product manufacturing information. As shown in the video, critical PMI dimensions for manufacturing and assembly purposes are directly transferred from Solid Edge to the Shop Floor Viewer.
Supplier collaboration is also made quick and easy. You can directly export required outputs like Step, Parasolid, or DXF, and files can later be extracted to a local destination to share with suppliers.
Solid Edge Data Management provides powerful capabilities to facilitate better decision making. Functions like Where Used allow designers to evaluate the widespread impact of a design change. Built-in workflows allow files to be reviewed and released.
Our solution ensures the highest caliber data integrity at scale, irrespective of the size of your organization.

Next Generation Design in Solid Edge
Solid Edge provides users with the ability to make mesh models more useful in the design workflow by automatically recognizing planar and cylindrical surfaces. In the video, we demonstrate scanning models can end up offsetting them from the part origin. This can be easily rectified with new alerts and commands in Solid Edge 2020.
Thanks to our cutting-edge convergent modeling technology, cuts may be created directly on the mesh model. Convergent modeling allows mesh models to be seamlessly integrated into the design workflow, and to coexist with regular B-rep models.
Our solution allows users to add a mesh model into an assembly, making use of regular assembly relationships. The virtual part works and behaves just like a regular part. This allows the user to position it in the desired location very easily to finish up their assembly design.
We leverage game-changing innovation and technology such as convergent modeling and synchronous technology to deliver a fast, reliable design process that no one else can match.
