Siemens brings design automation, more accessible part manufacturing and greater collaboration capability to Solid Edge 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Siemens Digital Industries Software has released the 2022 version of Solid Edge\u00ae software, which brings embedded rules-based design automation, greater capabilities to work with point-cloud, mesh and imported data without the need for translation alongside new tools for 2.5 axis machining and ultra-efficient upfront fluid flow simulation. Part of Siemens\u2019 Xcelerator portfolio of products, Solid Edge is an intuitive product development platform for accelerating all aspects of product creation, including 3D design, simulation, visualization, manufacturing, and design management.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Highlights for Solid Edge 2022 include:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new embedded\u00a0Solid Edge Design Configurator<\/strong>\u00a0adds rule-based automation and enables quick customization of products based on design parameters and rules, saving time and enabling the capture and reuse of intellectual property in intelligent models.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CAM Pro 2.5 Axis<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0milling is now included in Solid Edge Classic, Foundation and Premium for customers with active maintenance. Fully integrated, it maintains full associativity with design data and provides automated tool path creation combined with machining simulation to help achieve optimized machining operations.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New\u00a0CAD Direct<\/strong>\u00a0capabilities allow insertion of third-party data formats without the need for translation while maintaining associativity. Solid Edge 2022 continues to integrate Siemens\u2019 leading\u00a0Convergent\u00a0<\/strong>modeling technology, allowing users to mix b-rep and mesh geometries in the same model, again without conversion, making mesh data more useful and reducing product modelling time.\u00a0Full-color point cloud data<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0can also now be used for visualization purposes directly within Solid Edge, especially useful when retrofitting factories or plants, allowing the positioning of design equipment in the context of the point clouds.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Solid Edge 2022 is available through\u00a0Xcelerator as a Service<\/strong>, providing access to Siemens\u2019 next-generation, cloud-based collaboration solution including\u00a0Xcelerator Share<\/strong>, that brings design-focused capabilities (such as 3D\/2D CAD view\/markup), augmented reality and secure project-based sharing to the Solid Edge community.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe have been working with and listening to our customers, and in response Solid Edge 2022 has been engineered to help them grow their businesses,\u201d said John Miller, Sr. Vice President, Mainstream Engineering, Siemens. \u201cThe enhancements to Solid Edge 2022 better support modern product development and manufacturing processes, allowing our community of users to do more with available resources and to enable new ways of working that will foster greater innovation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
