![]() SolidDesigner- A Design Based On Experience
Powerful Dynamic Modeling CapabilitiesSolidDesigner's powerful design techniques maximize productivity from the conceptual design stage to the fully detailed and documented 3D model. Flexible model creation and refinement concepts allow designers to capture ideas and detail models quickly, without focusing on the models' underlying history. This dynamic modeling technique is the foundation for the broad acceptance of solid modeling in any engineering team. Working with SolidDesigner is a simple process. Using professional 2D drafting functions, designers create a profile on a freely positionable workplane, similar to a sketch on a draft board. Engineers then choose from a complete set of modeling commands, all based on well-proven model-creation concepts, and apply them to the 2D profile. Change is Easy - and PredictableDesign refinements are done "on-the-fly" at any stage in the design cycle. Designers can explore alternatives quickly from design evolution to co-creation. All changes are clearly defined and predicted, reducing the amount of time involved in evaluating the impact of the change. Designers can choose from a wide variety of modification tools, including variable blending, shelling or tapering. Modifications can be done dimensionally or dynamically to models, faces and user-defined or automatically-recognized features. Communicate With Your Design EnvironmentExtra modules for 3D viewing, annotation, and conferencing enable engineers to gather feedback from everyone participating in product development. SolidDesigner is also available with Product Data Management capabilities, which ensure the management of all relevant data. WorkManager configured for the engineering desktop and tightly integrated with SolidDesigner, adds 3D efficiency for assembly modeling, version management and model configuration management. SolidDesigner also accepts feature- or history-based 3D models as if they were SolidDesigner models. ME10 Annotation and Dimension AdvisorME10 Annotation provides standard compliant documentation. Changes, updates, revisions and modifications made to design models in SolidDesigner are accurately reflected in ME10's corresponding technical drawings. With the Dimension Advisor, users have an entire set of intelligent tools, called Advisors, that dramatically reduce the time it takes to add dimensions to drawings. Groups of dimensions can be automatically created and placed with a single keystroke. ADU Completes the LinkLink up for the last step with Associative Documentation Update (ADU), which allows the use of 3D information in 2D documentation. ADU links SolidDesigner and the ME10 2D Design and Drafting system. This link guarantees a seamless transfer of layouts for the creation and update of fully associative standard technical drawings. It speeds the 3D modification process and eliminates repetitive 2D documentation work. With ADU, SolidDesigner and ME10 leverage each other's strengths. Together they form an unbeatable team.
