For some time now, advanced assembly design capabilities in SolidEdge rel 20 have been used by many companies such as VAI, Anglo Platinum and Krones to lay out their factory floors and design equipment for their plants.
SolidEdge rel 20, a leader in massive assembly design with many customers creating assemblies of over 100,000 parts, now takes the next step to making it even easier to lay out and document factory floors.
With new capabilities to open and work with actual machine geometry in the context of large assemblies and their associated drawings, SolidEdge further addresses the needs of industries like heavy industrial vehicles, large mechanical machinery, process plant equipment and power.
SolidEdge rel 20 is the first mid-range modeler to take advantage of zones. Zones make working with massive assemblies even more manageable and boost performance,
allowing designers to define a permanent range box to isolate areas of large designs they are responsible for at a subsystem level.
Intelligent caching allows retrieval of only the parts in the zone, without having to open component files to determine if they lie in the zone or not.
This creates a significant performance boost when switching zones or opening a massive assembly A new capability for component grouping provides even more design flexibility by allowing designers to efficiently collect
SolidEdge parts and subassemblies into organized groups,
while leaving BOM and assembly relationships intact.
Teamed with zones, component grouping speeds up selection sets for animation, move part, fasteners and query selection among other tasks- To help designers lay out factory floors and/or machine designs, a new manual component positioning capability allows existing subassemblies to be quickly copied, moved, rotated or arrayed within an assembly.
To remove any restrictions, assembly relationships to existing components are ignored, while those integral to the subassembly remain intact. Subassemblies can be simply dragged to a new location or precisely moved using coordinates, vectors or exiting components
- Automatic part unloading manages valuable system resources with no user effort by sensing automatically which parts are in use and dynamically loading or unloading their geometry from memory to improve performance.
This feature is especially helpful when working with massive assemblies
- SolidEdge’s complete 2D drawing tools are augmented with a new ‘drawing review mode’ that allows rapid opening of a drawing for reviewing, measuring or printing regardless of how big or detailed the drawing is.
Continued reductions in draft file size means drawings take up less storage space and open more quickly
- Rel 20 of SolidEdge continued support for Windows 64 bit OS architecture allows designers creating massive assemblies and their associated drawings to benefit from increased available resources
