Overview

Designcenter Solid Edge combines direct modeling with parametric design through synchronous technology. Users create parts, assemblies, sheet metal, frames and weldments, then produce 2D drawings with dimensioning that follows drafting standards. Electrical design adds wiring, harness, 3D electrical routing and PCB collaboration; simulation covers finite element analysis, embedded CFD and 1D thermo-fluid modeling. Available packages are Design and Drafting, Foundation, Classic and Premium, each adding capabilities; Premium adds advanced motion and stress simulation, electrical routing and pipe and tube design. A 30-day free trial is offered, and the Designcenter X Solid Edge SaaS option adds cloud data management and named-user licensing.
