Christmas Comes Once a Year (in July)

For several years, Solid Edge has been on an approximately yearly release schedule

We have moved to a standard yearly summer release

So…

ST4 – July 2011

ST5 – July 2012

ST6 – July 2013

Our Core Vision

Key levers to realizing this vision…

It needs to be effortless to do daily machinery things

Synchronous Technology remains key to simplifying this process

Faster, smoother in-context assembly design

We need to continue to build upon our strengths

Large assembly handling

Sheet Metal design

World-class drawing production

To be, hands-down, the best mechanical

assembly design system. Period.

Modeling Environment Strategy

Ordered (Traditional) modeling is not “going away”

• You may continue to use Ordered modeling as long as you like. It remains an important approach for some purposes.

Synchronous is now available in “bite size” pieces

• You can leverage Synchronous for a portion of a design, without having to commit the entire design to Synchronous

Modeling possibilities are limitless

• All Assembly applications are available

• Synchronous models can be completed using ordered features

More flexible synchronous modeling

Accelerate design, speed revisions, better 2D/3D reuse

Page 14



More flexible synchronous modeling Multi-body modeling

Expand modeling capabilities and adapt designs to manufacturing requirements Works in Synchronous and

Ordered

Import assemblies into a single part file

Merge or split parts

Add new parts to continue design

Publish to files for drawing production

Single Entry Multiple Bodies

Single Assembly Multiple Files

Page 15



Multi-body A Complete Implementation

New “Add Body”

Separate Boolean

commands, including

“Split” Start from scratch

Or

Copy/paste

May be copied from

another document/

environment

Areas of non-manifold

“just touching” bodies

are highlighted during

boolean operations`

Mixing Sheet Metal

and “regular” Parts

is fully supported

Set Active Body

Toggle to/from

Design/Construction

Page 16



Multi-body Publish

• Each design body is saved to its own Part/Sheet Metal file

• Assembly file is optional

• All are associative to the multi-body file

Page 17



Multi-Body Ordered and Synchronous

Multi-Body is supported in both Ordered and Synchronous modeling techniques

Ordered is implemented just as in other systems

Single linear feature tree

Edit to first body computes all other bodies

Synchronous Multi-Body is unique in the industry

Bodies can be edited completely independently – very fast

Use Live Rules involving multiple bodies to make coordinated changes

Page 18



Multi-Body Workflows 1

Design, where…

• Several interrelated bodies form a single part

• One becomes many or many becomes one

• An interim non-manifold state is needed, though the end result will be manifold

Page 19



Multi-Body Workflows 2

Simplification/Collaboration*

• Coming IN to Solid Edge

• Import supplier Asm into Solid Edge as a Part

• Union into minimum number of manifold bodies

• Going OUT from Solid Edge

• Insert your Asm as a Part Copy into Part

• Union into minimum number of manifold bodies

• Export from Solid Edge 5 Files = 3 MB 1 File = 1 MB

*This all works now because we detect the non-manifold areas, and then union all that we can…

Helping customers design better Insert Assembly Copy

Reuse an assembly for a similar, but different purpose Inserts all the content from the

source assembly, but does not add the source itself

Fully associative to the original

Both position and component content update

Assembly features can be included or excluded

Each part/sub-asm can be individually included or excluded

Page 76



Insert Assembly Copy

Workflows

Reuse frames/pipes across multiple assemblies (!)

Reuse an assembly, but swap out components Maybe Assembly A and B are identical but one has a larger motor

Great for small families like this

Assemblies with different materials or paint Assembly A is painted red

Assembly B is painted blue

Assembly process states Show assembly with and without post-assembly machining operations

Helping customers design better Advanced Replace Part

Replace Part With Standard Part

Replace Part with New Part

Replace Part with Copy*

Replace Part

Easier in context adjustments as the design evolves

*For example, it’s easy to have 2

identical parts in an assembly

and replace one with a copy to

make them slightly different

Helping customers design better Publish Terrain Models

Create designs using HUGE survey model data

Open STL files over 1km and publish to usable surfaces patches less than 1k

Virtual component techonology slices/dices and reassembles
