Avantages

Solid Edge enables real-time project collaboration amongst teams, enabling teammates to work on the same file at once.

Inconvénients

Although Solid Edge is user-friendly, it can take some time to become proficient with all of its features and functions.

Avantages

Solid Edge delivers great results quickly and design changes are very simple. The user interface is simple and clean and you do not need to sort through a hundred buttons to find the function you need. The software is great at importing and exporting other CAD formats. The drawing options are very good and quality drafts are produced in very little time. The software is more powerful and stable than some other brands and the support staff in Australia is fantastic.

Inconvénients

The software installation and updates are a big drama and require technical assistance every time. When a new version comes out I need to allow at least a day before I will be operating again.

Avantages

Its intuitive design streamlines my workflow, making it easier to bring intricate designs to life and ensuring precision in each and every project. This software has been a pillar as a professional toolkit, enhancing productivity and creativity.

Inconvénients

Solid Edge has a Simulation tool within it, which is not used to its full capability. This may be due to less focus towards Simulation. Solid Edge should enhance its Simulation capabilities to enable users to quickly perform checks and comprehensive analysis. Improvements could include faster meshing, better structural analysis, and enhanced interoperability with other simulation tools.

Avantages

The tools are really easy to find and the visual hints helps a lot.
The interface is very intuitive

Inconvénients

It uses more computational resources than other applications but it is worth it

Avantages

All of the features are perfect and we have use it 9 years now without a problem.

Inconvénients

The support in my country is the worse ever

Avantages

what is best and easy i like it in solid Edge is 2D drawing cad tools , 3D tools , Selecting plane and surface and assembling

Inconvénients

I dislike error message without troubleshooting or giving more information to solve

Avantages

Solid Edge has many good things like user-friendly and having a wide range of functions, but it actually I most liked was the integration with Siemens peripheral tools

Inconvénients

Solid Edge has a limitation with file types.

Avantages

It is easy to use and futures are good to experience

Inconvénients

It should be more effective in visualization and graphicaly

Avantages

The software efficiently designs and models components and assemblies, and it operates quickly and smoothly. Solid Edge is simpler to use and learn to use when compared to other CAD software.In order to prevent mistakes during production, we can generate designs in two dimensions and analyze them. If we have any problems, their customer service is excellent.The drawing options are excellent, and quick, high-quality sketches are created. The support team in Australia is excellent, and the software is more robust and stable than some other brands.The finest CAD software for beginners is Solid Edge because of its user-friendly interface and simple-to-understand functionality. You can create 2D to 3D designs with ease.

Inconvénients

The thing that definitely truly bothered me the most when using the software was that all of my features and assemblies were based off of my parent sketch when I was constructing an assembly in the "ordered environment." As you are aware, designs have changed. My assembly would either not change when I updated or changed my sketch, or, more frequently, it would just explode up. I would have to update it manually, which would take hours of labor. This occurred during sizable assemblies.

Avantages

The User is allowed to do geometry constraint while sketching. The measurement standard can be selected before creation of the sketch. Recording option is helpful to make a video of the workspace. 3D drawing is easily done. 3D model drafting into 2D sheets are done easily with all detailed views. Intelligence in selection of line is helpful when there is difficult in selection of line in sketch.

Inconvénients

We need to purchase the software from a reseller. Customer support need to improve problem-solving skill. The software doesn't run smoothly in a low configured workstation. User interface need to be improved. The software should not proceed for next design steps if there is error in sketching.

Avantages

A facilidade de utilização, as poderosas ferramentas de superfícies, o modo chapa que é o melhor do mercado, a Tecnologia Síncrona e o excelente modo 2D.

Inconvénients

Não existirem tantos recursos disponíveis na net.

Avantages

This is a powerful software for designing parts and creating design assemblies. I have used this software extensively for creating designs of parts for lab setups, and I find the software to be very capable. One of the best things about Solid Edge is the richness of details it provides, which allows for a high level of precision in design work. The software also offers a large number of features, which can be very helpful in creating complex designs.

Inconvénients

One downside of Solid Edge is that the learning curve is steep. Since the software has so many features, it can be a little difficult to use at first. However, with some experience, Solid Edge becomes an excellent tool for designing parts and assemblies

Avantages

The software is easy to use, very intuitive, even if you switch from another programming. A lot of options that facilitate fast drawing.

Inconvénients

Some options could work better. For example, cutting several shapes at once in the model - when using the cut tool. Maybe I don't like it because I used to work with other software before and it worked differently.

Avantages

Es fácil de utilizar, maneja comandos o procesos muy sencillos, una muy buena biblioteca de objetos.

Inconvénients

Es límitado en muchas formas, se deben realizar varios pasos para elaborar procesos sencillos.

Pourquoi passer à Solid Edge

Avantages

the syncronous module is the best. the design process is faster

Inconvénients

Maybe, Solid edge is the most complex software to use compared to its competition

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

1. The drawing tools are very good and quality drafts are produced in less time.2. The interface is very user-friendly and easy to learn.

Inconvénients

With some complex designs, one can experience too much lag.

Avantages

it is very good in 3D modeling for machine design and part drawing. Also it can be used for simulation and stress analysis which is very good feature that add to the value of the application.

Inconvénients

2D drawing is not good. I think it is specialized in modeling so it is not concerning the civil drawing and 2d drawings.

Avantages

I own it. Yes it needs a maintenance fee for upgrades, but if i had no intention of ever upgrading the software then there are no ongoing fees. Inventor is a 365day user license. I am not a fan of those programs.

Inconvénients

If you do want to upgrade from say ST8 to ST11 or some thing like that, they make you pay the maintenance fees for the years you didn't use it. That to me is outrageous. They should treat you like a new customer and just pay a one off new software fee.

Avantages

Solid Edge is reasonablly priced software. It has excellent integration with next high end software called Unigraphics. Hence designing using a easy interface of Solid Edge one can take the same data into Unographics for advance functionalities like creating digital manufacturing data, high end analysis, live simulation, Aesthetic presentation.

Inconvénients

It lacks few surfacing functionalities. It the 3D solid model becomes large it demands hgiugh resources to function properly.

Avantages

Okay so just to say, this is for the ST3 Version I used to had. Not the new up to date version I now have, ST9. ST3’s strong point was definitely it’s ability to help our manufacturing shop with sheet metal work. I could make a complicated sheet metal part with good accuracy. With sheet metal factors are always causing problems, this software excells in that area.

Inconvénients

Okay so, when I used the software, the thing that absolutely really bugged me the worst when I was creating an assembly in the “ordered environment” all my features and assembles were based off my parent sketch. As you know, things changed in designs. Well when I change/update my sketch, my assembly would either not change with it, or more commonly, it would just blow up. This would cause me to seriously have to update it manually, hours of work. This happened with large assemblies. (12 or more parts)

Avantages

1. Easy to learn
2. Designer with basic designing knowledge can grasp the features of software quickly
3. Assembly of CAD models is easier and convenient as compared to other softwares
4. Very fast software which helps in quicker designing of models.

Inconvénients

1.3D to 2D converter is moderate with few features missing in comparison with other softwares of this caliber.
2.Supported file formats are also no great in comparison with other softwares
3. User interface with menus are a little too cramped up and completely user friendly

Avantages

The solid edge is a engineering design software which helps to create drawings of parts and assemblies for the production. We can create design in 2d and can do analysis of the design to avoid errors during production. They have a great customer support if we hav any issues.

Inconvénients

No issues were found in our use. But the user interface need to be improved.

Avantages

The ease of use, the possibility to paint the surfaces with colors and materials, and many other different functions.

Inconvénients

The parts for advanced drawings require a professional course to be able to use.

Avantages

When working on 3D CAD workspace, controls and buttons are the average among other solutions, navigation on workspace is good.

Inconvénients

The poor compatibility with other software at the time to export and import parts, also cost is a little big high between CAD solutions.

Avantages

Es igual de básico que de fácil de usar.

Inconvénients

Software limitado en cuanto a las funciones disponibles. Operaciones muy básicas como una rosca están muy limitadas. Es el hermano pequeño de SolidWorks.
