Siemens PLM Software is driving PLM to help smaller customers become more responsive through the introduction of the latest version of Solid Edge. Last year synchronous technology was launched to rave industry reviews. Now see the latest enhancements to the part & assembly environment, as well as a new sheet metal design module. Plus, we’ve incorporated finite element analysis directly into the CAD environment with Solid Edge Simulation. And Insight now works directly on the latest Microsoft SharePoint platforms.

In his blog on the subject of barriers for simulation entry and adoption, Al Dean, editor of Develop3D magazine, refers to Solid Edge Simulation as an example of how simulation tools should be integrated within a CAD system to promote rapid design iteration.
not only are these tools [Solid Edge Simulation] powerful, but they don’t restrict what can be done, don’t restrict the fine tuning and optimization of a simulation task

Kenneth Wong of Desktop Engineering pens Part 2 of his series on Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2 on simulation. Titled "Stress Relief", Kenneth explores meshing and solving and provides a short video of his work with Solid Edge Simulation.
For more, read Part I of the series, “First Encounter” (March 2, 20110). To watch animation clips of analysis results, visit DE Exchange and search for videos tagged SE with ST2.

Desktop Engineering’s Kenneth Wong reviews Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2 on his blog, Virtual Desktop. In addition to the written review, he includes a five minute demo.
Here is an excerpt:
Years of tech reporting makes me allergic to marketing slogans. I take into account the possibility that a technology works flawlessly during a demo only because the presenters have used sleight-of-hand tricks to impress me over WebEx. But having used Solid Edge with ST, I can wholeheartedly agree with Siemens’ claim that it “combines the best of constraint-driven techniques with direct modeling.

If you like cars, then the word “electric” is probably becoming more and more common. According to Wikipedia, “electricity is one of the oldest automobile propulsion methods still in use today. In 1897, electric vehicles found their first commercial application as a fleet of electrical New York City taxis, built by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia, was established.”
Siemens PLM customer from Holland, Spjkstaal is following in the innovation footsteps by recently designing an electric specialty vehicle in Solid Edge using synchronous modeling. The “Binkie” is the first electric garbage truck with a field press container on its end. Its performance is so good that it can easily compete with gas fueled garbage trucks and can pick up as many tons of garbage as a conventional garbage truck. It’s clean, quiet, and economical.
