Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software. It runs on Microsoft Windows and provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and 2D orthographic view functionality for mechanical designers. Through third party applications it has links to many other Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technologies.
Originally developed and released by Intergraph in 1996 using the ACIS geometric modeling kernel, it changed to using the Parasolid kernel when it was purchased and further developed by UGS Corp in 1998. In 2007, UGS was acquired by the Automation & Drives Division of Siemens AG. UGS company was renamed Siemens Digital Industries Software on October 1, 2007.
The ordered modeling process begins with a base feature controlled by a 2D sketch, which is either a linear, revolved, lofted, or swept extrusion. Each subsequent feature is built on the previous feature. When editing, the model is "rolled back" to the point where the feature was created so that the user cannot try to apply constraints to geometry that does not yet exist. The drawback is that the user does not see how the edit will interact with the subsequent features. This is typically called "history" or "regeneration based" modeling. In both ordered and synchronous mode Solid Edge offers very powerful, easy yet stable modeling in hybrid surface/solid mode, where "Rapid Blue" technology helps the user to create complex shapes in an intuitive and easy way.
The software combines direct modeling with dimension driven design (features and synchronously solving parametrics) under the name "Synchronous Technology".[2] Parametric relationships can be applied directly to the solid features without having to depend on 2D sketch geometry, and common parametric relationships are applied automatically.
Access to topic-based or project-based tutorials, online self-paced courses and interactive learning resources. Training materials can be used to learn Solid Edge on your own, or to supplement classroom learning. Students can also achieve Solid Edge Certification, a competitive edge when applying to jobs.
The UI of Solid Edge is among the top in the construction business. Solid Edge may be used for 2D and 3D sketching, as well as modelings and simulations. One amongst my fav aspects of Solidedge is its Organized design technique, which really is origin-based. Solid Edge can also convert 3D designs to draught files. This also includes a digital archive of engineered parts.
There are controls over target size (for facets), and how you want the system to maintain certain features, such as sharp edges and boundaries, as well as how the system handles areas with rapid curvature change (so the system refines the mesh, adding more facets to more accurately rebuild that area).
Solid Edge uses the Parasolid geometric kernel, also used by a wide range of CAD/CAE/CAM vendors such as Bentley MicroStation, Siemens NX, Dassault SolidWorks, Femap, Ansys Workbench, Delcam, Missler TopSolid, Onshape and many others. As such, it is an application that handles complex imported parts and assemblies, rapid instancing, tolerant geometry and heavyweight geometries including surfacing and NURBS.
Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software. It provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and 2D orthographic view functionality for engineers, designers and designers. It allows designs to be made in two different ways: By traditional modeling like other CAD systems, and modeling with synchronous technology.
Solid Edge was originally developed by Integraph until its acquisition by Siemens. The geometric modeling kernel, Parasolid, is widely used as a geometric engine in other tools such as SolidWorks, IronCAD, etc.
HALOCAD solves this challenge for CAD and PLM environments by automating Microsoft Information Protection (MIP), the unified platform for a companywide DRM and part of M365 E5 Compliance. This provides an edge over all other similar applications by:
Solid Edge was initially released in 1995 as a solid modeling software. At the time, it was owned, developed, and released by Intergraph, a portmanteau of Interactive graphics, and was oriented towards designing/creating assemblies, unlike other 3D CAD programs in use at the time, which were singularly oriented towards CAD.

In general, Solid Edge requires no more than 16 GB of RAM for simple assemblies. If you are using larger assemblies, the RAM can be as much as three times the size of your largest assembly, including all subassemblies and parts used. In perspective, we recommend 32 GB RAM (4x8 GB, DDR4) and a workstation that provides you with 8 memory banks on the mainboard to be able to easily upgrade the RAM if necessary. We load our business workstation in quad-channel mode in order to be able to call up the optimum performance for Solidedge. For more complex assemblies we recommend for your workstation the use of up to 64 GB memory with error correction code. Memory errors are automatically detected and corrected, and unpredictable system crashes are avoided. A business workstation often offers ECC support. Corresponding information can be found in the data sheet.
