Solid Edge is helping me design and simulate mechanical components more efficiently, reducing the need for repeated physical prototypes. This saves both time and cost, while also improving accuracy and collaboration within projects
QUICK, USER FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT CAD SOFTWARE (SOLIDE EDGE)
What do you like best about the product?
Solid Edge interface is quite user friendly with less clutter of icons and modelling tools conviently placed on straightforward positions which can enable learning it within a few days. Solid Edge Synchronous Technology has made my 3D modelling tasks less strenuous and more efficient with less cycle time per each model as compared to the previous CAD software I have been using. Solid Edge has been a game changer in my design work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Solid Edge has actually made my design work a lot easier and efficient.I haven't experienced any observable shortcomings. Adding Built in Computational Fluid Dynamics options in the Academic and Community Editions for stress simulation will make it even more convinient for design work to the common student and/or early career reasearchers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solid Edge is greatly assisting me in my design work with engineering communication from product conceptualisation to fabrication drawings and product realisation. Stress simulation features help to do Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and help validate designs for stress and failure before fabricating the real product as fabrication/manufacturing of product before validation for failure modes can turn out to be costly if changes are required. Synchronous technology also helps to quickly make changes and updates to existing designs thereby reducing lead time from the product conceptual phase to fabrication.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solid Edge helps me solve the problem of integrating design, simulation, and manufacturing in one platform, which eliminates the inefficiencies of using separate tools. Its simulation features allow me to test designs virtually before manufacturing, reducing costly errors and rework. The sheet metal and assembly tools simplify complex mechanical design tasks, while the built-in data management ensures version control and smooth collaboration across the team. These capabilities allow me to produce accurate, high-quality designs more efficiently.
Good experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy interface, easy to use for designing parts, assembling different parts of a system, the person can easily train themselves on the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are plenty of files that make the software a little heavy to use. It is necessary to make the software less heavy for users, especially for those who do not have high-performance computers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solid Edge actually facilitates the design of mechanical parts, especially for an assembly system where each part can be designed separately and then all these parts are assembled. Additionally, it is very easy to use and understand the interfaces, and one of the best things is the shortcuts that can be used either with the mouse or the keyboard, which then speeds up the design process.
It was easy to master and has a lot of prototyping posibilities
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that for students we got a free version to use that had all the functions was a huge plus. You can also link it with already designed prototypes of various siemens machines and electronics. Esay to intergrate with siemens logosoft.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some users dislike Solid Edge because it can feel less intuitive than competitors like SolidWorks, has a smaller user community hence has fewer tutorials/resources since it it used mostly by big companies, and sometimes faces compatibility or stability issues with very large or complex assemblies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
for me as a mechatronics student I get to prototype my models and simulate before attempting to build the real thing, for example when we desinged a robot hand we built the model to scale using solid edge and imported the actuators we used into solid edge then simulated the movement and adjusted the measurements accordingly.
strogn cad software, but it has learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Solid Edge is its robust 3D modeling capabilities. The parametric design tools are highly advanced, allowing me to create complex parts efficiently. The assembly module is particularly impressive - managing large assemblies is seamless and intuitive. The dedicated sheet metal design tools are extremely useful for manufacturing workflows. Additionally, the Siemens integration provides excellent compatibility with PLM systems, making it ideal for enterprise environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software has a steep learning curve, especially for users transitioning from AutoCAD or other platforms. The interface can feel overwhelming at times, and accessing certain functions isn't always intuitive. The rendering quality lags behind competitors like SolidWorks in terms of photorealistic output. License costs are quite high for smaller companies or individual users. Performance can be sluggish when working with large files, and occasional crashes during complex operations can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solid Edge is solving our complex 3D modeling and assembly design challenges in mechanical engineering projects. It streamlines our product development workflow by providing integrated parametric modeling, assembly management, and manufacturing preparation tools. The software significantly reduces design iteration time and improves collaboration between engineering teams. Its synchronous technology allows us to modify imported models without losing design intent, which saves considerable time when working with supplier components. The sheet metal tools have been particularly beneficial for our manufacturing processes, automatically generating flat patterns and bend calculations.
Rendering is not so good , evene though it is easy to use and friendly for first time users
What do you like best about the product?
Solid Edge has some seriously impressive features, but if I had to pick what stands out most, it’s the Synchronous Technology. It’s a game-changer for design engineers—allowing you to edit 3D models quickly and intuitively without the constraints of traditional history-based parametric modelling. That means faster iterations, easier changes, and way less frustration when tweaking designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
User Interface Complexity Some users find the UI less intuitive compared to competitors like SolidWorks. Features can feel buried, and the learning curve is steep for newcomers2.
Click-Intensive Workflow Tasks often require multiple steps or clicks, which can slow down productivity—especially for users transitioning from more streamlined platform
