Solid Edge

Best to create engineering designs.

Kommentare: The solid edge helps us to design our products in 2d and 3d. We use solid edge for doing calculations and analysis of the design.

Vorteile:

The solid edge is a engineering design software which helps to create drawings of parts and assemblies for the production. We can create design in 2d and can do analysis of the design to avoid errors during production. They have a great customer support if we hav any issues.

Nachteile:

No issues were found in our use. But the user interface need to be improved.

Great CAD software

Kommentare: I can quickly provide customer solutions, with great quality 2D drawings, 3D models, Video fly-throughs, machine animations, stress and displacement analysis and reverse engineering. This software is critical to my business.

Vorteile:

Solid Edge delivers great results quickly and design changes are very simple. The user interface is simple and clean and you do not need to sort through a hundred buttons to find the function you need. The software is great at importing and exporting other CAD formats. The drawing options are very good and quality drafts are produced in very little time. The software is more powerful and stable than some other brands and the support staff in Australia is fantastic.

Nachteile:

The software installation and updates are a big drama and require technical assistance every time. When a new version comes out I need to allow at least a day before I will be operating again.

No support in my country

Kommentare: We are users of Solide Edge ST8 (1 work place license) since 2015. Due to a hard drive crash we need to reinstall the program, but we cannot find the original DVD. We only have the SELicense.dat file
The local distributor said that they cannot give us a copy of Solide Edge ST8 for which we have a license, and we have to buy the latest version.

Vorteile:

All of the features are perfect and we have use it 9 years now without a problem.

Nachteile:

The support in my country is the worse ever

Solid Edge ST3 Review

Kommentare: Just being honest with ST3 version, there was just to many bugs. It can’t process to many features or large assemblies. This caused so much lagging. I once waited 10 minutes just to turn a DFT file into a pdf because I wanted color. I shouldn’t have to choose between color and time. Just my opinion. I wouldn’t be to proud of using this software year.

Vorteile:

Okay so just to say, this is for the ST3 Version I used to had. Not the new up to date version I now have, ST9. ST3’s strong point was definitely it’s ability to help our manufacturing shop with sheet metal work. I could make a complicated sheet metal part with good accuracy. With sheet metal factors are always causing problems, this software excells in that area.

Nachteile:

Okay so, when I used the software, the thing that absolutely really bugged me the worst when I was creating an assembly in the “ordered environment” all my features and assembles were based off my parent sketch. As you know, things changed in designs. Well when I change/update my sketch, my assembly would either not change with it, or more commonly, it would just blow up. This would cause me to seriously have to update it manually, hours of work. This happened with large assemblies. (12 or more parts)

Very intuitive and easy to use

Vorteile:

The tools are really easy to find and the visual hints helps a lot. The interface is very intuitive

Nachteile:

It uses more computational resources than other applications but it is worth it
