Machinery-specific design applications
Solid Edge delivers tools and workflows that offer specific solutions
to the challenges of machinery design.Tailored environments,
specific to processes at hand, reduce development costs by
eliminating errors to assure designs are right the first time.With
optimized drawing production and manufacturing considerations
built directly into each process, you engineer and build complex
machines in less time.
Sheet metal
Solid Edge’s sheet metal environment uses standard sheet metal
and fabrication terminology, with streamlined modeling commands
for tabs, flanges, louvers, dimples, cutouts, mitered corners, corner
breaks and other sheet metal-specific part features.With automated
placement of bend relief, bend allowance calculations and
punch- and laser-ready flat pattern development, Solid Edge
delivers the most advanced sheet metal CAD package available.
Weldments
The weldment environment assists in defining the constituent
parts of weldments, as well as weld beads, pre-weld surface
treatments and machining operations after the welds are applied.
Solid Edge drafting documents the entire weldment manufacturing
process, with component drawings as well as pre-weld and
post-machining views.Weldment designs can be placed and manipulated
as single components in machinery models.
Wiring and tubing
Solid Edge XpresRoute is an integrated add-on package that
rapidly routes and models wires, cables and rigid or flexible
tubing for hydraulic or pneumatic systems.Tubing and wiring
components are dynamically associative to the components they
connect, so that they automatically adjust when changes are
made to a machine’s related parts.
Standard Parts
Solid Edge Standard Parts is a powerful parts management
system that allows your designers to define, store, select and
position commonly used parts – like fasteners, bearings and
structural steel members – quickly and efficiently, enabling rapid
and precise completion of machinery designs.With Solid Edge
Standard Parts, you can establish and share company standards,
so your designers can concentrate on designing machinery and
not on redundant modeling tasks. In addition to the baseline of
components delivered with Solid Edge, an extensive machinery
parts library is available as an optional add-on package.
