Add-On Applications

Different manufacturing industries face their own unique design challenges, and it is neither acceptable nor practical for a CAD system to deliver a generic collection of tools and expect users to adapt them to their own needs. Solid Edge recognised this from the start, and has long been focused on providing tools and workflows that offer specific solutions to these challenges.

Solid Edge Add-On Applications:

Wire Harness Design

Solid Edge Wire Harness Design is a dedicated process driven environment for the efficient creation, routing and organisation of wires, cables and bundles in a Solid Edge assembly. Wire Harness Design allows electrical and mechanical design teams to collaborate on designs to create complete and accurate digital mockups containing both mechanical and electrical components, and removes the need for expensive physical prototypes.

Web publisher

Solid Edge Web Publisher is an additional software module that makes it extremely fast and easy to share design information over the Internet or company intranets. Web Publisher is seamlessly integrated with Solid Edge, so you can publish web pages with Solid Edge 3D models and related data in seconds, directly from your Solid Edge design session, without any web publishing expertise. Using industry-leading technology developed by Immersive Design, Inc., Web Publisher facilitates access to design engineering data throughout the manufacturing enterprise and to customers and suppliers.

XpresRoute

Solid Edge XpresRoute eases the design of mechanical routed systems. A comprehensive set of industry-specific design tools helps designers quickly route and model piping and tubing in Solid Edge assemblies. Fully integrated with Solid Edge, XpresRoute utilizes process-specific workflows that match industry best practices and work the way that you want to work. With XpresRoute, you not only accelerate your design process for mechanical routed systems, you also enjoy improved BOM accuracy and lower costs through standardisation.

Standard Parts

Solid Edge Standard Parts is a powerful parts management system that allows designers to define, store, select and position commonly used parts — like fasteners, bearings, structural steel members and pipe fittings— quickly and efficiently, enabling rapid and precise completion of 3D assemblies. With Solid Edge Standard Parts, companies establish and share their own standards, so designers can concentrate on creative design and not on redundant modelling tasks.

Mold Tooling / Electrode Design

A complete solution for mold design Solid Edge Mold Tooling is the cornerstone of a complete mold design solution that helps transform ideas into deliverable products faster and at lower cost by addressing challenges that are unique to the industry. Solid Edge helps both OEMs and dedicated mold shops overcome these challenges by combining industry-leading capabilities for data import, cleanup and shape modelling with a proven set of mold design automation tools, unparalleled documentation capabilities and seamless integration with best-in-class analysis and manufacturing solutions.
