Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2

Synchronous Technology 2 Applied to Solid Edge Simulation

Jul 20, 2009 - 04:00 AM

With the release of Solid Edge ST last year, you likely saw a lot of press about the new Synchronous Technology. With the upcoming ST2 release of Solid Edge this technology was expanded to new areas, especially sheet metal.

However, did you know the new Solid Edge Simulation application is also integrated with Synchronous Technology? This is important because when you do finite element analysis you are not always just validating the existing design. Sometimes you want to do some model preparation or simplification of the geometry to improve results or cut down the analysis time. At times you want to modify the product design based on the results to make it lighter or stronger or better. These things require being able to manipulate the geometry.

The video below shows how Synchronous Technology can be used in a relatively simple analysis carried out in the upcoming Solid Edge ST2 release. If you use another CAD system, an FEA application, or even an older version of Solid Edge, think about how you might do the same things there. Do you have to transfer data between different applications? Do you need to understand how the designer put together the design in the history tree or worse, like below, do you just have a "dumb" part? Even if you have an integrated product from a high-end CAD system, is it this easy to do?
