Siemens Ships Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology
PLANO,
TX, Aug 27, 2008 - Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens
Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product
lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced Solid Edge
software with synchronous technology is shipping to customers worldwide and
will ship nine additional languages throughout September. Solid Edge with
synchronous technology is the core CAD component of the Velocity Series
portfolio and incorporates Siemens PLM Software’s new breakthrough
history-free, feature-based design technology.

Using Solid Edge with synchronous technology, the 3D Stretch allows edits to
increase an imported part’s length with no history tree
Fast,
flexible design speeds innovation
Solid Edge with synchronous technology includes key new features that
speed innovation. They include an interactive design paradigm, faster
editing tools, native multi-CAD features and 2D/3D workflow integration.
- Create in a new interactive design environment: A new
interaction paradigm speeds innovation by enabling users to develop 3D
models without any pre-planning giving users up to a 100 times faster
design experience.
- Edit faster: New tools increase the speed and flexibility of
design changes, so users can perform engineering change orders (ECOs) in
seconds instead of hours.
- Edit multi-CAD data as native: All tools in Solid Edge can be
used on imported CAD data in the same manner as native models, letting
users make changes faster than their supplier.
- Leverage 3D power with 2D simplicity: Familiar 2D workflows
within the 3D user interaction paradigm enable users to become experts
quickly.

Users can move an alignment hole (in blue) and Solid Edge tracks the change
through the rest of the model. The edit is in multiple directions but Live
Rules maintains all tangency, concentricity, and co-planar geometric
relationships. History-based systems don’t allow for such edits.
“Solid Edge with synchronous technology will allow us to design special
customer requests faster,” said John Matthews, mechanical designer, Hatch.
“Some of the new editing tools will allow us to make changes quicker in
order to meet tight deadlines.“
“With an instantaneous modeling experience, this is going to change the
way people think about using CAD,” said Jack Beeckman, PLM manager, Liebert
Corp. “More importantly it's going to change the way CAD enables them to
think about ‘what’ they want to model, and not ‘how’ they want to model.”
