Best 3D Modeling Tool by Siemens!!

  • April 18, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It offers cloud ready design, which helps us in accessing the 3D CAD accross different devices and quickly share data or design resources with our client or suppliers.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Solid Edge having cloud ready design, so it will require high speed of internet to access it's full flag capabilities, which sometimes not possible in rural areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used this for creating a 3D model using it's CAD capabilities. The design elements are so perfect which made this tool as one of my favourite tool for CAD.

"All-in-one solution for CAD/CAM/CAE"

  • March 18, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Solid Edge comes with a number of solutions and tools for design and production needs. We can also get add-on features if needed. There are different packages available as per needs.
Working on Solid Edge 2D drawings is quite easy and 3D assembly too is simple if you are familiar with different commands, which can be simply mastered with practice and by exploring software in your free time.
Simulation and analysis tool also works fine and helps you with your design calculation.
Working on different parts of same project from different locations is also possible with solid edge which is a nice feature.
We can also share the drawings and designs in other formats like .dxf, .dwg, .stp and also convert to 2D and 3D pdf.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a great tool but comes with a price that is a bit on the higher side as compared to other software. Another problem is that it needs a higher PC configuration like a faster CPU, higher RAM, and Graphics card if you're working on large assemblies with more than 10000 parts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Works great for me in designing parts and creating their production drawings which include details like cutting, bending, punching, and welding. These parts can be directly transported to the customer's location and assembled there without any problems as we have already assembled them in software thus saving us precious time and manpower cost.

My Experience on Solid Edge

  • February 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Am using Solid Edge for three years, Solid Edhe has a user-friendly interface, and it is very easy to learn. It has advanced 3D modeling tools that help us to make more precise product designs easily. The best thing I found is it has advanced simulation and analysis tools that help us to perform various load tests and analyses accurately. Solid edge also has many tools in the sheet metal design part, which has unique features allowing us to make complex sheet metal designs. It has the best assembly tools for our parts mechanisms easily and also checks collision detection and interference.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a high-end graphics card and also powerful ram; otherwise, performing some operation looks slow, and hanging problems occur. Rendering options in solid edge are not up to the mark. Also, I found difficulty in creating hole and patterns in cylindrical faces. Solid edge is expensive compared to other modeling software available in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a mechanical design engineer, I used to design various components of machinery such as gear, shaft, bearing, frame, cam etc using Solid Edge. Using its simulation and analysis tools, we perform all the load tests and check the smooth functioning of all the mechanisms in that machinery. With that, accurate analyzing results are very helpful in creating our load-handling parts without any failures. Using its high-end modeling tools, I can able to design cam and spring accurately for our project and also I can be able to perform collision detection tests and interference checkings.

Top Level 3D designing tool

  • January 25, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is user-friendly and easily accessible, providing a comprehensive understanding of product design. It's powerful CAD software and well-suited for beginners due to its straightforward interface and easy-to-learn features. It allows for a seamless transition from 2D to 3D designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process takes time. Once I waited approximately 15 minutes to convert a DFT file into a PDF. The 3D to 2D conversion capabilities are average, with some features lacking when compared to other similar software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use Solid Edge to do 3D designing and simulation. Also used it to make a 2D drawing of the product from its 3D design and vice versa. Sometimes, I used it for Sheet metal design, also.

A powerful software for CAD operations

  • January 18, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SOLID EDGE is software that is continually updated by its developers; I particularly appreciate the latest versions starting from 2017. Its unique modeling method, "SYNCHRONOUS" and "ORDERED," is not available in other software. The user-friendly commands in the sketching mode, like line, circle, and pattern, are some of the features I appreciate. Switching between "SYNCHRONOUS" and "ORDERED" modeling modes in a single model is a great feature. Overall, it is good software for designers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Designers used to the SolidWorks interface may find SOLID EDGE challenging, as it requires more steps to perform a single command which increases the time needed to complete a modeling job. Additionally, the simulation tool in SOLID EDGE does not have a proper meshing system, as SolidWorks has. The pricing of SOLID EDGE is also higher than other available software. However, it can be a good option for beginners to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I currently use software to solve business problems such as sketching, modeling, drafting, detailing, simulation, and product design analysis. I have found that the graphics of the model images produced by this software are superior to those of other software, and the meshing timing in the FEA tool is faster. Additionally, the drafting interface is better than other modeling software, though not as good as AutoCAD. Overall, I believe this software is ideal for beginners and small industries.

Must have tool for mechanical component designer

  • January 18, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use Solid Edge to design and develop mechanical components and telecommunications equipment systems. I have to do electrical design for these purposes, and Solid Edge allows me to do electrical design very efficiently. I use Solid Edge software to create 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings of electrical components. For these purposes, this tool's UI is handy for me. I also like the ability of this tool to do electrical design.
What do you dislike about the product?
The FEM Tool is inadequate, and the process of converting Inventor Files to other FEM Software was previously challenging. I can not customize all the tools according to my need in this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a mechanical design engineer in the telecommunications industry, I use Solid Edge for designing and developing mechanical components and systems for telecommunications equipment and other infrastructure. I use Solid Edge software to create 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings of these components and systems and work closely with other engineers and designers to ensure the final product meets industry standards and customer requirements. They would also be responsible for testing and evaluating the performance of the designs.
