![]() Direct Editing modifies complex geometry with capabilities to rotate and resize topology delete holes, regions, and rounds change bend radii and angles in sheet metal models and directly offset geometry. ![]() Speaking of interoperability, Solid Edge is quite at home with data coming from its big brother, UGS NX, something that can't be said for other competitors with a sibling rivalry. Direct Editing also allows users to edit 3D geometry imported from a variety of sources without the need to import associated features and parameters-a real boon to inter-operability. ![]() ![]() This is actually a big deal because complex parametric models can be edited late in the design process, after the fact, without having to retrace, much less deal with, the history tree. Zero D lets users define a product structure before committing to any geometry.ĭirect Editing Direct Editing is an interesting aspect of Solid Edge because it lets users directly edit models without having to edit the history tree. Although I'm not crazy about the nomenclature, the previous version of Solid Edge, v16, introduced the 'Zero D' concept and capability to the hybrid 2D/3D design environment. Also, like much of the competition, Solid Edge is a so-called hybrid 2D/3D modeler that lets users combine 2D and 3D techniques to best suit the way they work. Introduced in the initial release, STREAM continues to be a productivity enhancer in the way it reduces the number of steps required to perform certain kinds of tasks, such as constraining profiles with dimensions that can be directly edited in sketch mode. ![]() Solid Edge v17 1 Aug, 2005 By: Hybrid design approach and interoperability top list of new capabililties Like its competitors, Solid Edge v17 creates parts, assemblies and drawings, but unlike them, it captures design intent through a unique combination of inference logic and decision-management concepts called STREAM technology. ![]()
