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

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.

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.

Beth Stackpole writes “Sporting synchronous technology, the CAD tool melds the flexibility of history-free modeling with the control of feature-based systems…Perhaps no 3-D CAD company did as much to advance the trend as Siemens PLM Software with the introduction of synchronous technology.”

Manufacturing Business Technology Magazine recently selected Solid Edge for a 2009 Innovation Insight Award in the “Most Innovative Product” category.

Manufacturing Business Technology’s Innovation Insight 2009: "Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology impresses product designers…impresses for its speed, power, and flexibility."
