These low-cost solutions are easy to use and deploy, and provide excellent security Material removal operations as well as for your critical design data. We call this rounds and chamfers span multiple “cloud on your terms” because you have bodies within parts, delivering more the flexibility to decide if and when to intuitive modeling. add these capabilities to your design environment. Fast and flexible 3D modeling Whether you’re a professional designer, maker or student, industry-leading core modeling tools deliver exceptional productivity. Synchronous technology enables users to design the way they think. You can work intuitively within the product structure at hand without being con- cerned with the modeling environment. SOLID EDGE

The new design manager utility builds on the proven capabilities and popularity of the existing revision manager tool and adds capabilities for release management to the existing revision management capabilities. Using this tool you can easily clone assemblies as the starting point for a new design project, and then take the assembly and linked drawings through a simple release process. Repetitive actions can slow down your product development process, but using Solid Edge ST9 minimizes the impact with quick duplication functions in part, sheet metal and assembly environ- ments.

And for files that you store and share on the cloud, Solid Edge can be used to lock these files for read-only access while they are being modified, and make this change in status visible to users at other sites. These capabilities enable you to secure and control access to your critical design data, but also make it available anywhere it is Scalable data management needed so you can work more effectively Solid Edge ST9 includes built-in data when using distributed design resources.
