Today I am excited to introduce and share with you a myriad of new features and updates in Solid Edge 2021. In the coming weeks I will be highlighting various topics in depth, and I will host a webinar to demonstrate the new features and capabilities live. Some of the topics will include the addition of new tools to the Sheet Metal environment, improvements for working with Large Assemblies, the Frame environment, Subdivision Modeling, Reverse Engineering, and a host of other improvements that will improve the User Environment and increase productivity.
The new Multi-Edge Flange tool will streamline a complex workflow into a single command. Large assembly users will love that parts can now be located to inactive parts, as well as measured to. To some this may seem like a minor change, but to those that work with large datasets, it is a game changer. The Frame environment will allow for weld gaps and report out mitering angles. Subdivision Modeling is a new working environment for creating complex geometry. Designers and engineers with experience in the workflow will be impressed with the flexible and intuitive interface. Other users will benefit from the complex surface geometry creation and the world it opens for industrial and product design. All users of Solid Edge 2021 will benefit from the improvements to the user interface and the under-the-hood enhancements that will truly make this version more productive than ever before.
Stay tuned for next week’s post where we will cover enhancements in Sheet Metal, specifically Multi-Edge Flange. We will also dive into the advancements made in large assembly performance.
