Download the Solid Edge 2021 with new features!

Check out the newly released Solid Edge 2021 Shining 3D Edition, packed with some hefty improvements in the areas of Reverse Engineering and Part Modeling functions, as well as a more adaptive UI. ​

Reverse Engineering

Performance
​
The reverse engineering functions of Solid Edge underwent a serious makeover in terms of performance improvement. Users will be able to benefit from an increased performance efficiency of functions like mesh deletion, hole filling and automatic region detection.​

Solide Edge 2020 vs. 2021 Comparison

​Deviation Analysis

Deviation Analysis is a new function in the Reverse Engineering toolkit of Solid Edge 2021 Edition.
As new tool in the roundup of Solid Edge functions, Deviation Analysis is a routine form of troubleshooting. A deviation detection system allows seamless collaboration across the manufacturing workflow chain and quick identification of the initial causes of production issues. When speed is of utmost importance, a robust deviation detection system, along with a good process for analyzing the resulting data, is essential for instant problem solving. This inspection method based on point-by-point comparison of two objects will help users of Solid Edge 2021 edition to thoroughly compare and evaluate the differences between B-Rep and Mesh models, or between two Mesh models. Initial features include:

• Bodies can be design, construction or surface bodies
• Mesh bodies can be bodies imported from STL or JT
• Reference and test bodies can be switched

​Deviation Analysis ​Setting Functions

• Maximum Deviation Checking Distance: Specifies the maximum distance the analysis will compute. Objects or parts of objects farther from the target objects than this value are not included in the results. Black color is displayed in the areas beyond this value.
• Color Bar Settings: Controls to specify the style, location and decimal places of the color bar.
• Absolute Value: Specifies if the results of deviation should be shown in absolute values or positive (outside) or negative (inside).
• Tolerance: Specifies the user defined deviation tolerance.
• ​Results Information: Specifies how the deviation results should be shown on screen.

​Solid Edge 2021 edition adopts the color coding of simulation results to deliver an understandable visual delivery of inspection results. Inside and outside deviation are shown as positive and negative values.

Deviation Analysis

The following deviation locations can be seen

• Max deviation in the model
• Min deviation in the model
• Max deviation within the deviation distance selected

The results of the report can be conveniently copy pasted as text format.

Brush & Box selection

​A new Brush and Box selection tool has been added

​Smooth Mesh

Delete Mesh

Part Modelling

​Subdivision Modelling
​
​Subdivision Modelling is a modeling technique that generates  stylized body using a polygonal cage to control its shape. The body is generated through a set of rules that is repeatedly applied to each polygonal face/edge/vertex to generate the next level polygons’ vertices and their connectivity.

Adaptive UI

Solid Edge 2021 Edition User Interface

​Introducing the concept of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) with its Adaptive UI, Solid Edge 2021 Edition will change the ways of working fundamentally. A new “Predict Commands” toolbar has been integrated above the graphics area. The Predictive UI will learn the designer’s usage behaviour of the software and then predict the next command that the user will need, giving them 10 choices to select from.

Possibility to select from 10 different options on how to proceed in the workflow, made possible through ML and AI in Solid Edge 2021 Edition.
