The improvements in the software Solid Edge of Siemens accelerate significantly the design of products

The last version of the software Solid Edge (Solid Edge ST7) of Siemens include new functionalities that accelerate significantly the process of design of the product. The improvements in the modelling 3D and in the renderizado of images allow that some tasks realizar until five faster times that with the previous version. And a greater productivity and additional efficiency attain through the improvements in the management of the design and in the interface of user of Solid Edge. In conjunction with the launching of Solid Edge ST7, Siemens PLM also has expanded his portfolio of own applications and of third that extend in a lot of areas the capacities of fundamental design of Solid Edge. These applications, for example, improve Solid Edge with integrated solutions for the libraries of standard components, the simulation, the manufacture and the support in mobile devices.

“In Siemens develop software thinking in our users”, explained Karsten Newbury, senior vice-president and general director of Mainstream Engineering Software of Siemens PLM Software.”Solid Edge ST7 facilitates significantly the interaction with the user; his new improvements guarantee a faster learning and easy to the new users and optimise the work to the most experienced. This does that our exclusive technology ‘Synchronous Technology' was even more accessible to all the world. These advantages, together with our increasing ecosystem of complementary applications, allows us give the opportunity to our users to go back to imagine what is possible”.

The new functionalities of renderizado incorporated in Solid Edge ST7, offered by the technology KeyShot of Luxion, allow to create easily images and animations fotorealistas from the surroundings of modelling. These new functionalities provide a significant improvement in the quality of the image in general and accelerate until 5 times the renderizado fotorealístico in real time of models 3D.

“The new capacities of renderizado in Solid Edge ST7 provide an enormous advantage for the development of our business” ensures Ricardo Espinosa, engineer of design of Kimball International. “During the meetings with the customers, will be able to answer to his requests of personalización of our products, taking into account his contributions, when can modify easily the model with Synchronous Technology and generate on the fly realistic images for an instantaneous review”.

Besides, the new functionality ‘Outline 3D' of Solid Edge ST7 improvement the efficiency in a lot of stages of modelling, allowing to the designers complete his processes of design until twice faster and with greater flexibility. The important improvements in the interface of user provide to Solid Edge ST7 the operative surroundings more intuitive attained up to now. And also it has a new page of start, focalizada in showing the options of learning and with more tools of visual aid, simplifying the curve of learning for the new users and improving the efficiency of the expert users.

The functionalities of management of the designs of Solid Edge ST7 based in SharePoint, improve even more his approach of ‘management of visual design' with a new function for the flows of work that provides all the interaction with the user from an alone location. This does easier to create and work with projects of complex design, complete the changes of engineering more quickly and improve the productivity in general.

As I complement to the improvements of Solid Edge ST7 exists a wide family of new and powerful applications. These new applications of Solid Edge provide capacities wider of design, manufacture and collaboration, that allow to accelerate all the process of development of the product. At present there is more than 500 available applications for Solid Edge that help to the customers to obtain a greater value added.
