What’s new in Siemens Solid Edge 2021

1. Mechanical Design

Design at the speed of creative thought, with new subdivision modeling, lightning-fast reverse engineering, a new user interface powered by artificial intelligence, and an intelligent 3D model search engine.

– New subdivision modeling: Develop distinctively unique products based on organic shapes without the need for expert knowledge with new subdivision modeling for next-generation design.– Faster reverse engineering: Reduce time spent on reverse engineering with lightning-fast performance enhancements including deviation analysis.

2. Electrical Design

Create fast, accurate 2D layout of industrial control panels with new cabinet panel design capabilities.

– Cabinet panel design: Prepare layout of industrial control panels with new cabinet panel design capabilities in Solid Edge Wiring Design that enable accurate 2D cabinet panel assembly.

– Harness Design: Automate the complete design-to-production flow, including synchronization with Teamcenter, to achieve greater wire harness manufacturing efficiencies– Electrical Routing: Manage wire routing along irregular continuous geometric bodies with flows to third-party ECAD systems

– PCB Collaboration: Consume 3D models from industry-leading printed circuit board environments using an open, interoperable environment

3.Simulation

Optimize and validate your designs digitally with tighter integration between flow and structural simulation.

Better integration between flow simulation and structural simulation help create a more accurate digital twin. Add fluid pressure and temperatures results from Simcenter FLOEFD for Solid Edge for analysis in Solid Edge Simulation. Digitally validating and optimizing parts, assemblies and complete systems early in the design process reduces the need for physical prototypes, saving time and costs.4. Manufacturing

Speed up NC programming with a searchable postprocessor database, new fast roughing and adaptive milling.

Maximize machine-floor investments by getting the most out of manufacturing equipment with a new searchable online database of postprocessors.

5. Technical Publications

Create high-quality documents and illustrations, faster. Directly from your 3D models.

– Concept modeling Rapidly create and evaluate multiple design scenarios with Teamcenter as the backbone.– Shape search Search for parts based on shape, eliminate redesign and remanufacturing costs of an existing part.

– Requirements management Systematically and effectively track and report customers’ and regulatory design requirements.

7. Cloud-Based Collaboration

Synchronize files with cloud storage, while you work; view, measure and markup any computer-aided design (CAD) on any device; securely share projects with anyone; and, review designs in augmented reality (AR) on phones and tablets.
