Solid Edge 2021

 Solid Edge 2021 from Siemens provides the speed you need to get the most out of your entire engineering process—maximizing your productivity while decreasing your costs.

With an emphasis on usability enhancements, Solid Edge 2021 users experience productivity gains with Solid Edge 3D CAD and Solid Edge CAM Pro. New capabilities in Solid Edge Wiring Design enable users to prepare the layout of industrial control panels, and new shape search and concept modeling capabilities make finding existing components and developing new ideas faster and easier than ever before.

New subdivision modeling: Develop distinctively unique products based on organic shapes without the need for expert knowledge with new subdivision modeling for next-generation design.

Faster reverse engineering 

Reduce time spent on reverse engineering with lightning-fast performance enhancements including deviation analysis. 

Faster performance

Faster performance and memory load time when developing large assemblies. New support for embedded components inside the assembly with no file reference, for simplified supplier data workflow.

Electrical Design

Create fast, accurate 2D layout of industrial control panels with new cabinet panel design capabilities.

Cabinet panel design: Prepare layout of industrial control panels with new cabinet panel design capabilities in Solid Edge Wiring Design that enable accurate 2D cabinet panel assembly.

Harness Design

Automate the complete design-to-production flow, including synchronization with Teamcenter, to achieve greater wire harness manufacturing efficiencies

Simulation

Optimize and validate your designs digitally with tighter integration between flow and structural simulation.

Better integration between flow simulation and structural simulation help create a more accurate digital twin. Add fluid pressure and temperatures results from Simcenter FLOEFD for Solid Edge for analysis in Solid Edge Simulation. Digitally validating and optimizing parts, assemblies and complete systems early in the design process reduces the need for physical prototypes, saving time and costs.

Manufacturing

Speed up NC programming with a searchable postprocessor database, new fast roughing and adaptive milling.

Maximize machine-floor investments by getting the most out of manufacturing equipment with a new searchable online database of postprocessors.

Technical Publications

Create high-quality documents and illustrations, faster. Directly from your 3D models.

Open, save and revise data from Teamcenter, Siemens’ powerful PLM solution, with tight integration to ensure your working with the right data, every time. Go from engineering to documentation quickly and seamlessly working directly with Solid Edge 3D models; leveraging the digital twin ensures all changes to the original design are easily incorporated into existing publications.

Data Management

Take control of your data, saving time and money, with new rapid concept modeling and shape search capabilities.

Concept Modeling

Rapidly create and evaluate multiple design scenarios with Teamcenter as the backbone.

Cloud-Based Collaboration

Next-generation cloud collaboration is here.

Synchronize files with cloud storage, while you work; view, measure and markup any computer-aided design (CAD) on any device; securely share projects with anyone; and, review designs in augmented reality (AR) on phones and tablets.
