Support for Massive Assemblies

Confidential -- For UGS & Reseller Internal Use Only -- Do Not Copy or Distribute
Large Assembly Design – SE V18
Display States – Solid Edge give the user the ability to control how the
parts are displayed. Plus with Assembly configurations give the SE
user the ability to load/unload parts/subs in and out of memory, this
gives the user flexibility and performance when working with Large
Assemblies.
SolidWorks does not have the ability to load/unload parts with the
use of configuration/display status
Linked Viewports – This was nice back in the day when rotation was
hard and we did not have tools to help see all around the part. Solid
Edge has always give the same results.
Solid Edge is the leader when it comes to Large Assembly
management. With the myriad of selection and display tools, Solid
Edge gives the user the productivity tools he needs to get the job done.

Systems Design – Solid Edge V18
This is functionality that has been in Solid Edge for
Three Years
Solid Edge is the innovator of combining
parts/subassemblies along with all mating and
mounting features into one complete solution
for ease of creation and reuse.
Solid Edge is the innovator with Capture Fit
which enables the user to capture how a
part/subassembly is correctly placed into the
assembly, while they are placing it into the
assembly, rather than guessing what mate
relationships are need for that part.
Solid Edge can save the System Library in a
shared location on a network for all users.
This help the user understand where ALL
System Libraries are.

Systems Design
Simplify Assembly
Assembly Simplification – Only looks at the small
features in a part file and does not look at any
Assembly features. Also when they simplify an
assembly the user has to ignore feature that affect
an assembly mate. If they don’t then the
relationships will fail!! This is NOT the case with
Solid Edge.
Only works on these part features
Chamfers
Extrudes, Boss, Boss-thin, cut-thin. (Base extrudes
and extrudes that are not Blind or Mid-Plane are not
found)
Fillets; Simple, multi-radius, face (without the holdline
parameter), variable radius. (Full round fillets are not
found)
Holes; Simple and Hole Wizard.
FeatureWorks
Miter Flange Support
Additional Hole Wizard
Recognition – SolidWorks can not recognize holes

Items to remember
Tightly intergraded with eCAD systems,
don’t have to deal with Excel files. We can
write the .cmp and .con file out of Solid Edge
and back to the eCAD System. Also
functions with or without eCAD connection
Import and export net list files from
Cim-team, ECT Promis-e, VeSys
Electrical, Zuken
Cut length information is also included in the
ECAD file when saved out of Solid Edge
UI is a wizard based which gives the user
the constant feedback they need in order to

Large Assembly Drafting – SE V18
In a recent look at Solid Edge V18 and Solid Works 2006, we tested drawing view
creation of an assembly with 10,895 Parts, 306 Unique Parts and 101,659 Bodies.
Solid Edge excelled in all cases!!
To show the greatest benefit and plug in a hourly cost to the time savings with SE
Draft and show how much money we can save them.

User Productivity- Drawings
Spell Check – Limited…Only works with English
and will not check tables including BOM.
Text in a Box – Solid Edge has had this since V1
General Tables –
3D Drawing Views – This tool is to aid in knowing
how far a user can cut into a component when
using the Broken out section view. It lets the user
rotate a drawing view out of its plane so that they
can select how far to cut. This is very cumbersome
and the Solid Edge step method is more intuitive.
Also the result of the broken view remains in the
view in which it was drawn.

Section View

dimensional value on how far to see past the

Completely Transparent UI
Virtually all PDM systems today are “bolt on”
Separate set of “PDM-aware” commands due to “arms length”
relationship between CAD and PDM vendor
Dual command set is confusing and counterproductive
In contrast, Solid Edge Embedded Client…
No bolt-on commands or unique toolbar
Teamcenter user identified through log-on credentials
Solid Edge commands launch Teamcenter-specific functionality
Teamcenter User flag
Implicit operations improve productivity
Automatic Check Out on Edit
Automatic Check In on Close (unless requested)
