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.
