learning the basics
What do you like best about the product?
The imense availability of tools and options
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve seems to be steep, but I understand this is the consequence of it's complexity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been experimenting with 3D printing self-made objects. I did this for a while in 3D-builder (windows) but obviously ran into limitations pretty quickly. 3D builder helped me make some simple objects that I couldn't with 3D builder. At Naturalis Biodiversity centre i worked with 3D models and 3D printing for academic reasons, and for me creating some simple objects in Solid Edge was an attempt to understand the possibilities of Solid Edge for my academic work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solid Edge offers a lot of tools but the learning curve might be steep.
Great UI for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
Solid edge allows you to draw sketches with just the coordinates enabling quick sketching saving a lot of time. It also offers the ability to generate 3D parts from 2D drawings and will also generate 2D drawings from your completed 3D parts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The assembly UI could do with some improvements with respect to greater intuition while mating parts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use solid edge as my go to 3d modeling software for all projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For a beginner the UI is extremely simple and easy to learn. A more advanced user might prefer other more advanced softwares.
Solid Edge for mechanical design
What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent computer aided software which can perform 2D and 3D drawings and designs. It is easier and faster to design and make drawings. It is capable of doing 3D printing as it can combine CAD, CAM and CAE.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a good software and I did not encounter any difficult while using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for 3D printing, drafting and designing critical machine parts
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can highly recommend this software to any mechanical designs organization for it's suitability in product design
Development of new machines in Solid Edge
What do you like best about the product?
The main feature is the simplicity of the work, intuitive and productive creation of drawings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least useful is synchronous technology for standard design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Solid Edge makes complex design of new machines, supported by FEM structural analysis.
CAD for Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Solid Edge is a good software if your organization is completely integrated to Siemens Team Center PLM. As the integration helps with complete transparency and ease of doing work. It is a good computer aided software which performs 2D as well as 3D drawings and design. It is a polished software which runs very smoothly. It can handle large drawing files very capably without lag. It is faster and easier to design and draw parts, editing or rework is quite easily done. The integration of other Siemens products such as teamcenter allowed me as trainee to gain knowledge other industry leading application.
What do you dislike about the product?
High skill is required as it is not user friendly as Siemens designed it for experienced operators, but you can get used to it in time. Exposure is low in students or freshers as most are unaware of the software and have no skill to use this software. The usability does not compare with other CAD software such as Catia and Solid Works. It is quite a costly software in comparison to the feature it contains.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The integration with the PLM software helped reduce the time consumed. Reworking of old drawings are easier and can be done quite efficiently. I had only used this software as a trainee, so did not get to use this software extensively. And the benefits it did was not such realized by me during the process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you manage a small or medium scale company or for personal use, I do not recommend this software as it is costly and much better with other software integrated with it. If your company has PLM and if you are looking to integrate this with it then this is the CAD software for you.
Excellent tool for some amateur in CAD modelling to view at 3D drawings
What do you like best about the product?
I am not very good at CAD modelling and designing. But I like Solid Edge as I am able to view 3D drawings from different angles easily in it. It is very light, opens up quickly, fast and user friendly compared to other CAD softwares which are quite heavy and takes forever to load.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot measure dimensions of parts in solid edge and need the file to be in .EASM format to be able to open up in Solid Edge
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I analysis 3D drawings made by drafters and designer and give them feedback on changes that need to be implemented. I use solidedge drawings to take snap shots and prepare presentation and communicate design changes
Great drafting application for engineering
What do you like best about the product?
This application completely fulfills all of our company's needs. This dynamic application can fit any project or idea we need to design. It also gives us tools that make drafting
What do you dislike about the product?
The application is similar to solidworks. Both applications have similar functions. However, solidworks is more popular and known for engineers in the workforce. It's a barrier to transition from solidworks to solid edge. Solid edge can accomplish the same challenges that solidworks can. However solid edge has buttons and tabs in completely different places.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We design light fixtures and LED boards. The most recent benefit has been the ability to draft the wires and harnessing within solid edge.
I had opportunity to use SE for university courses and formula Student
What do you like best about the product?
It is really important for a student have opportunity to know SE thanks to student edition. About the program about 3D models it is intuitive and versatile CAD tool that give opportunity to approach the project in different way, much more than other CAD. In particular I found assembly constraints easier to use more than in other CAD.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't find it so easy to use about surfaces. I think that the 3D parts works better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I realized project for my university exams and designed part for the formula Student car
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the free version and try to follow tutorials and youtube videos they are really good for beginners
There's much better out there
What do you like best about the product?
I struggle to find many positives with this software, everything seems clunky and all of the buttons are hard to find.
What do you dislike about the product?
The full software.
I know it's a matter of opinion but to me the software seems clunky and not very user friendly, the buttes are all hard to find, completely different to somewhere like solidworks!
Drafting on edge is also difficult

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working for a contract company we solve multiple problems for multiple companies
