Solid Edge ST3 - the most full-featured hybrid 2D/3D CAD system that uses synchronous technology to accelerate the process of designing and editing, as well as expanded support for re-use of imported geometry. Solid Edge is a key component of the portfolio Velocity Series T, and has excellent tools for modeling parts and assemblies, design drawings, transparent data management, built-in finite element analysis, which helps to cope with the growing complexity of future product New version of Solid Edge ST3 offers enhanced functionality based on synchronous technology, which greatly accelerates the process of product design, easy modification, importation and use of data created in different CAD systems. The latest version includes improvements in the finite element analysis, data management, design, as well as more thousands of changes to specific users. Implementing the concept of synchronous technology company Siemens PLM Software has expanded the possibility of using synchronous technology throughout the system. Furthermore implemented in previous versions support for modeling components and sheet metal, the synchronous model can be applied directly to the assembly - for example, when designing pipelines, farms, wiring and other products. First introduced the associativity between synchronous parts, which allows the user to create and modify his plan before, during or at the end of the process of designing an assembly. Solid Edge ST3 provides an opportunity to work with both synchronous and conventional (ordered in the tree construction) design elements in a single integrated design environment. Users can use synchronous design elements to accelerate the process of designing and flexible editing models, and elements of the tree building - for design of cast parts and components, obtained by machining. Elements of the tree construction in the existing models can be selectively converted into synchronous, which gives the designer greater flexibility and ease of use of the system. Since the number of enterprises making the transition from other 3D systems to the Solid Edge and take advantage of synchronous technology is growing, there was the possibility of merging with the existing 2D drawings to 3D models - another way to improve performance. Technological dimensions in 2D drawings can now be automatically transferred to the relevant imported 3D model. Obtained as a result of "manufacturing
