Solid Edge version 20 - Design collaboration, plant equipment design and engineering productivity for the entire value chain

Summary

Solid Edge version 20 software continues to drive design collaboration across all points of the value chain in support of PLM.
Improvements in cPDM integration promote collaboration across multiple sites. New massive assembly design features broaden Solid Edge's footprint in the plant equipment design market.
And hundreds of user-suggested enhancements take engineering productivity to new levels.
With version 20, Solid Edge builds on its reputation as the most cost-effective, complete and open solution for hybrid 2D/3D design and collaboration on the market today.

Introduction

Solid Edge version 20 is the latest release of Siemens PLM Software' hybrid 2D/3D CAD software and the premier design-centric solution in the mid-range CAD industry.
Version 20 continues to enhance collaboration throughout the value chain, addressing the needs of midsize companies to access information from remote sites.

Version 20 extends massive assembly capabilities to the next step by making it even easier to lay out factory floors with actual machine geometry, as well as design large assemblies in industries like heavy industrial vehicles, large mechanical machinery and process and power.
Also included are innovative, practical tools for real-time problem solving that help designers and engineers become more productive and shorten design cycles.

Better Managed Collaboration Tools

Even if your company isn't global, you do business globally. Remote divisions or suppliers add to the complexity of Product development. How do you design it, review it, approve it, build it, and ship it -- on time?

New data management features in Solid Edge version 20 offer increased performance, robustness, and allow easy access to your data, regardless where it's stored in your company.
You can easily initiate a design changes, clone, and revise assemblies directly in Solid Edge version 20 or in your PDM system.

Better Massive Assemblies for Plant Equipment Design and Layout Tools

Solid Edge version 20 understands Plant equipment design. Efficiently developing machines with large design teams an massive parts counts–100,000 plus components, are just some of the challenges.

Version 20 of Solid Edge gets your design teams focused in the right Zone.
New Zones in Solid Edge version 20 boost performance allowing designers to define a permanent range box to isolate areas or subsystems of a massive assembly they are responsible for.

Massive assemblies mean massive drawings. Solid Edges' new Instant Drawing Review mode, allow just that–opening drawings regardless of size instantly. Instant Drawing Review is fast and smart, this new mode allows instant drawing access for adding dimensions and annotations.

Solid Edge version 20 has pioneered massive assembly design–a key component in plant equipment design and layout.

Better Engineering Productivity

Solid Edge version 20 understands the challenges engineers and designers face. Solving complex mechanical systems, managing and using existing data, and drawing creation are common examples.

Solid Edge version 20 now includes Goal Seeking that lets engineers solve complicated systems with an easy to understand 2D graphical approach.
Users simply set a target value and Goal Seeking efficiently solves the system to achieve the desired result.
Results can be used to drive 3D geometry in a true hybrid 2D/3D design environment.

Improvements to Feature Libraries allow users to establish complete libraries and define instructions to simplify their reuse.
New tabulated drawings make detailing family of part drawings much easier. Adding tables that list family of part parameters can be created in just minutes.

The engineering productivity continues with over 170 other customer driven enhancements that compliment Solid Edge's power in part modeling, sheet metal, assembly design, drawing creation and document management.
