SOLID EDGE 2022 BOOSTS YOUR BUSINESS

At Siemens, we always listen to our customers. When customers request new features in one of our software products, these requests are carefully considered.

“We have worked closely with and listened to our customers, and in response, Solid Edge 2022 has been designed to help customers grow their business,” said John Miller, Senior Vice President of Mainstream Engineering, Siemens. “Improvements in Solid Edge 2022 support modern manufacturing and product development processes better, enabling our user community to achieve more with existing resources and allowing new workflows to drive greater innovation.”

What’s New in Solid Edge 2022?

Create new design iterations with a click using the new Solid Edge Design Configurator.

This software is a design automation application that adds rule-based automation to the familiar Solid Edge software. It allows rapid customization of products based on parameters and design rules. Rule-based automation can increase productivity and accelerate design.

Experience 2.5-axis milling, now included with Solid Edge Classic, Foundation, and Premium subscriptions for customers under maintenance.

Fully integrated with Solid Edge, 2.5-axis CAM Pro milling allows users to maintain full alignment with design data while providing confidence when generating and displaying automatic toolpaths for optimized machining operations.

Seamlessly integrate CAD geometry using CAD Direct, a new 3D design capability that improves productivity when working with geometry from common CAD systems.

Files can be inserted into an assembly using Solid Edge without translation while maintaining associativity. Data resides within the 3D assembly, preventing duplication and enabling the use of inserted geometry downstream.

Collaborate with colleagues, partners, and customers using Xcelerator Share.

This next-generation cloud-based collaboration solution uses design-focused tools such as markups, 3D and 2D CAD viewing, augmented reality, virtual prototyping, secure project-based sharing, and more. You can work from anywhere with browser-based access. No additional IT infrastructure is required.

Visualize designs in real-world context.

Full-color point cloud visualization for assembly parts helps you confidently position new equipment in context, particularly useful for plant layouts. Solid Edge measurement and assembly viewing tools can be used to position and design equipment within the point cloud environment.

Solid Edge keeps you ahead in the industry with performance improvements for large assembly modeling for the third consecutive year.

Assembly preview allows users to enter preview mode, reducing the amount of data loaded when opening. Multi-body assembly modeling provides a new environment to model internal components in an assembly file. A new component finder enables intuitive search with automatic filter suggestions.

Leverage b-rep and mesh geometry in the same model without any conversion.

Eliminating the need to convert geometry to work together reduces model development time. This unique modeling capability allows b-rep and mesh geometry to coexist in the same model.

Wheel improvements with industry-first heat sink command allow easy radius editing of circular features in part models.

This new synchronous technology capability enables satellite faces to move radially during an operation while maintaining design intent.

Gain clear insights into your design data with new built-in custom reports for Solid Edge.

Animations provide dynamic ways to view and classify parts and assemblies. Visual reports are built on rules easily created with Excel-like filters in interactive tables.

Accelerate simulation speed using new automatic meshing processes that provide high-quality meshes with minimal effort.

The new Body Mesh function in Solid Edge Simulation controls meshing without parameters. Simulation display performance is 10x faster than before. A new hydrostatic pressure load type defines maximum and minimum pressure from fluids in equilibrium due to gravity effects.

Improve flow design of piping systems with Simcenter Flomaster for Solid Edge, enabling users to easily model and analyze fluid and thermal flow in their piping systems.

It automatically extracts 3D geometry to create system-level models, reducing the time needed to build a simulation model by up to 90%. The product is easy enough for new users with guided tutorials but includes advanced capabilities for simulation experts.
