Solid Edge Portfolio

What do you like best about the product?

Solid Edge is easy to use, has a great UI, and is powerful enough for our company needs. I really enjoy tools like Keyshot to enhance our presentations and proposals for our potential customers.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it seems like the user needs to cancel out of commands constantly using the ESC command. I would like to be able to use mate conditions and ranges to allow showing movement in an assembly by dragging. (SolidWorks has this capability)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Solid Edge more heavily with CAM and additive printing applications within the last couple years. Really enjoy the seamless usage of Solid Edge with our Teamcenter PLM system.

What do you like best about the product?

It keeps everything in manufacturing perspective. It is relatively easy to use. Parametric features enable feature based modeling. Enables collaboration among team members.

What do you dislike about the product?

It is not very popular among engineering users. That makes it an afterthought in implementation of add-ons and new features. It is not compatible with most of the stuff that NX can work with.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a cost effective solution to deal with design in a high horizontal diversity environment. It enables engineers to create parts and assemblies quickly and effectively.

What do you like best about the product?

I use Designcenter Solid Edge for designing industrial parts and writing macros to automate the design. What I find most valuable is the programming API, which I use the most. It allows me to automate manual tasks, saving time and costs for my clients. Additionally, setting up Designcenter Solid Edge was quite easy and hassle-free.

What do you dislike about the product?

The limitations are the documentation for the API due to which exploring the API becomes a challenge.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Designcenter Solid Edge to design industrial parts and automate the design. It helps me get design iterations faster and saves time and costs with its programming API.

What do you like best about the product?

I use it for editing parts in the NX workflow before simulation such as fea or cfd. For instance, I have to modify parts before they can be used in simulation.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some aspects that are least helpful for design center solid edge is the fact the I don't seem to have a lot of tutorials on it as well as the cost for licensing is a lot.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping drastically in reducing the time it takes to refine cad. Before users would have to manually edit all parts before simulation but now it is more streamlined.

What do you like best about the product?

Powerful tool for modeling with a strong history of successful implementation and use. With many useful features and a strong user base for support. Great tool.

What do you dislike about the product?

It still has many limitations. Though Siemens is continually developing the tool to improve on the limitations, there are still regular bugs and issues that can prevent work from completing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing the creating of CAD models and CAE simulation to move products forward. The tools provide the power needed to model the product and allow the business to succeed.

What do you like best about the product?

It is easy to use and similar to other CAD products. The ability to create parts and assemblies is easy to do. Integration to Teamcenter PLM is very robust

What do you dislike about the product?

It is hard to find resources that already know the application. It does require us to send new users to training. In our current organization this is the lowest number of users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is being used to resolve large assembly issues and determining collisions. It is also be used to conduct design review both internal to engineering and externally with manufacturing,

What do you like best about the product?

I like how Designcenter Solid Edge helps us complete the detailed design of equipment for our company in the mining industry. The parametric modeling feature stands out to me because it makes it easier for us to design and reuse components in our designs. I also appreciate that everything works well for us and is continuously getting better, with much improved speed on large assemblies.

What do you dislike about the product?

minor problem is speed of large assemblies, which is getting better

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Designcenter Solid Edge helps complete detailed equipment designs for our mining company, making it easier to design and reuse components with parametric modeling.

What do you like best about the product?

Simple user face every one can easily understand, bes for design engineer for simply change or modify the the file and auto revision option and file location

What do you dislike about the product?

A few things could be improved, like part or assembly replacement. A few times it rejected file replacement when the same file name existed in different locations, but it treated them as if they were in the same location.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly used it to reduce and identify similar designs, especially when creating part codes for new products in SAP. This helped save time and maintain our library, while also reducing duplicate or copied items.

What do you like best about the product?

One of the most helpful aspects of Designcenter Solid Edge is its ability to streamline design workflows thorugh a clean and intuitive interface.The upside point is the integration of design, simulation, and drafting in a single environment improves productivity and reduces the need for multiple tools.

What do you dislike about the product?

One of the least helpful aspects of solid edge is that the UI, although improving, still feels slightly less modern compared to some competing CAD tools, and certain workflow s requires more clicks than expected. The downside point is customization and advanced automation options are not as flexible or widely documented.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solid edge helps solve key business challenges related to design efficinecy, time to market, and resource optimization. Its best for small to mid-sized businesses by providing an all in one solution for modeling,drafting, and besic simulation.

What do you like best about the product?

In my view, the biggest value Solid Edge adds is that it lets you enter the Siemens CAD/CAM/CAE ecosystem with software that isn’t expensive and is very approachable for SMEs.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don’t like that the software doesn’t include an ergonomic analysis module, but considering the software price and its target audience, I can accept that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It bridges the gap between what’s in the designer’s mind and what stakeholders can actually see—whether that’s a design manager, a manufacturer, or even a consumer.
