Converting Traditional to Synchronous

We have seen many great examples of Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology in action over the past few months. Most of these examples focus on either geometry that is purely synchronous or has been imported from another 3D Design solution such as SolidWorks or Inventor. Some previous posts which are worthy of a mention include - Imported Data, PMI [...]

Making Synchronous Design Changes in an Assembly

We have seen various posts and examples that demonstrate the benefits that Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology has when it comes to initial geometry creation or making fast flexible design changes. Some of these include:-
Unified 2D & 3D
Steering Wheel
Live Rules
PMI Dimensions
Editing Imported Data
However all of these examples focus on the creation and manipulation of geometry within [...]

Training for Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology

As was mentioned in one of our previous posts Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology is now shipping.
Many existing Solid Edge users have now installed and started working with the product. As always the key to success is ensuring you have the appropriate training.
You could start using Synchronous Technology within minutes of installation, but to really [...]

SolidWorks and Synchronous Technology – Part One

If you are a SolidWorks user it is probably one of many tools that you use to perform your job. Others might include design guides and standards, reference books, analysis software and most certainly Google to name just a few.
We all have a “toolbox” containing our favourite tools but if you are like me we [...]

Find Your CAD Parts in Seconds with Solid Edge and PartBrowser

Just recently I have been lucky enough to be exposed to some fantastic new product design technology. Of course we are at the dawn of a brand new and exciting CAD age with the birth of Synchronous Technology. However we have also been involved with a great new graphical search tool called PartBrowser which makes [...]

Discover the truth – Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology now shipping

Like me you may have been following all the attention Synchronous Technology has received since its launch in May 2008. Comments and opinions have been made in various marketing medias by those that “get it” and those that don’t. Some of those that don’t have inferred that it is just hype, smoke and [...]

Editing Imported Models The Easy Way

We have seen quite a few examples of how we can use the tools in Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology in order to generate and manipulate designs which have been constructed natively in Solid Edge. So, the question is – How can we deal with imported models that were originally constructed in another CAD product? [...]

PMI Dimensions Drive 3D Geometry

Following on from my last post which focused on Live Rules, I would like to show you how easy it is to apply PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) dimensions directly to a 3D model. We have been able to generate PMI information in Solid Edge for some time now but Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology actually allows [...]

Live Rules Allow Fast and Predictable Changes

We have already seen a few examples of how Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology allows you to make fast and predictable changes to a design regardless of how the model was built. My last post focused on using the Steering Wheel to make these changes. For this post I want to illustrate how the Live [...]

Easy Design Changes with the Solid Edge Steering Wheel

The new Solid Edge Steering Wheel is a concept that allows you to very quickly and easily make dramatic modifications to your design.

To highlight this point I would like to compare how we would modify a design using history based parametric techniques to the way we can now make similar and more advanced modifications using [...]
