Siemens PLM revolutionizes the CAD design with Solid Edge ST
March 19, 2009
Imagine what would reduce the size of the files of designs up to 7 times. This would drastically reduce the need for storage space on the servers of the company and reduce traffic generated by the CAD in the network. This will mean that the designs have a faster manageability, which is a tangible competitive advantage which is already now a reality for users of Solid Edge ST.
Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology opens the door for the wide MultiCAD as so far no one had done. And do it with new capabilities provided by the new technology of Siemens, able to get any 3D model, whatever their origin, all the geometric features of the design. To recognize them, it is easy for the user to make all necessary modifications, preserving if you want original design intent while running the modifications.
Edit 3D models as complex as the of the image without needing to know what operations was created or was your tree, simply locate the geometry that you want to modify and stretch with the 'steering wheel controller' or simply insert a bound 3D where neededto get the most accurate changes.
You have a system with which to edit practically any existing design or even to use it a former Solid Edge ST CAD software, is now easier than ever.
The advantages of the ST Multicad in figures
In the next chart you can see some comparative examples of that improvement in editing times and file sizes comparing traditional technology with synchronous technology.
Traditional | Synchronous Technology | Improvement | ||
Change radio | 85 seconds | 1 | x 85 | |
Move reinforcement | 15 seconds | < 1 second | > x 15 | |
Size file | 8 mb | 2.1 mb | a quarter of the size |
The change of a single radio or a bound edition would be the recalculation of the entire model, happens as well with technology synchronous that simply by not need recálculos get improvements to 85 that multiplying the speed of change.
Also the file size is reduced to a quarter due to the deletion of the parent-child dependencies and dependency of rigid tree operations.
