Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2

Early indicators are positive

Jun 03, 2009 - 12:45 PM

We've received feedback from press, analysts and most importantly, the users, that Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2 is going to be a great release. Dora Smith, our roving reporter from Nashville this week at PLM Connection, has met up with some users that are "test-driving" the latest release. Derrek Cooper had this to say via Twitter:

Derrek did a nice summary of the new Solid Edge Simulation on his blog, The Virtual Engineer. Even though he is an ex ANSYS user, we will convert him yet!

Here are a few recent articles that you should check out:

Kenneth Wong's Virtual Desktop: Synchronous Technology, Take Two

Ralph Grabowski's UpFront.eZine: Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2

Jeff Rowe's MCADCafe: Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2 Announced

Jeff's article hits home on a couple key points:

· one of the biggest advantages of a non-history based approach is that it lets you make changes late in the design process, so they are not bound by the constraints and complications that a history tree can impose

· another one of the biggest advantages for a non-history-based approach -- 3D model data can be imported from just about any source for editing without the need for a translator/converter.

· The “synchronous” part of Synchronous Technology comes into play as the technology is intended to synchronize engineering relationships, features, and parameters through more direct model creation and editing. In other words, Synchronous Technology will synchronize feature recognition and constraint solving with geometry and topology. The non-history-based method does work especially well for working with pure geometry. Maybe a better way to go is “parametrics on demand,”

· So, while some of my peers may tend to look at the parts that are still missing with regard to Synchronous Technology, I’d rather dwell on the fact, that although my comments above are based on a single demo, Solid Edge has made definite progress since the first time around, and the company is committed to making it more comprehensive with future releases

And if you haven't done so already, download the FREE white paper from CPDA. The paper is a more in-depth look at Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2.
