1. Solid Edge V15 Design with Insight

2. Solid Edge: Design With Insight
Solid Edge is the premier value-based mainstream solution delivering practical, more efficient, Design Centric solutions for mechanical engineers and designers
Insight into Design Intent is required by all designers and associated personnel who use design data
Design Management provides design intent and is therefore a prerequisite part of the design process
Design Management is a built into Solid Edge via Microsoft .NET, not bolted on
This is the Solid Edge Philosophy on Design
Solid Edge is first and foremost
Design Centric
Capture and reuse of Design Intent is required by all designers
Solid Edge is committed to capturing and reusing design intent throughout the process starting with design management as an integral part of the process
“The benefits of Solid Edge’s solution is simplicity.
… while it’s invisible to the designers, Solid Edge Insight technology performs all of the critical functions our organization needs to insure the integrity and efficient access of our Solid Edge data. "
Ken Grundey, Pella Corp

3. Solid Edge Value Proposition
By providing insight into design intent throughout the organization, complementing Solid Edge’s superior core modeling and process workflows, Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and their related rework can be reduced by 50% or more.
With Solid Edge and Insight the value proposition is clear. Everything we do is targeted at reducing ECOs.
Everyone strives to shorten time to market, reduce costs and improve quality, but how does Solid Edge help you to do that?
Solid Edge specifically reduces the number of error related ECO’s and their related rework.
No one likes to do it over – and in these tough economic times – getting it right the 1st time is critical
Companies have been known to justify Solid Edge based on reduced rework alone…
One company, Gem City Engineering, reduced its error related ECO’s from 200 to just 2 on similar projects by implementing Solid Edge
“The bottom line is that we came in ahead of schedule, under budget and with ECO's at only 10 percent of what we considered normal before Solid Edge.”
Roger Wentworth, Gem City Engineering

18. Insight Into Design Intent - Systems Design - Intelligent, Productive Drafting - Evolve to 3D

19. Systems Design Capturing and Maintaining Design Intent
Part and Sub Assembly Fit and Function Automatically Captured and Reused
Correct Motion and Physical Contact Captured and Automatically Maintained
Define, store and reuse cohesive sets of parts, features and constraints
Sensors Monitor Critical Distances and Variables
And… Insight Manages the Whole Process
A system is a group of interacting parts and sub-assemblies, each containing sufficient knowledge to describe how it needs to perform in order to meet the design intent of the product

20. Systems Design Progression
V10 Sensors
Monitor critical distances and variables
V11 Insight
Establishes control of assembly structure
V12 Capture Fit
Ensures correct placement of parts and Assemblies
V14 Introduced Systems Libraries
Define, store and reuse cohesive sets of parts, features and constraints
Speed up assembly design and improves confidence by storing and using design knowledge in other assemblies
"Grouping parts in the System Library instead of in sub-assemblies will let our design engineers focus on components as functional systems“ Chris Oesterle, CADD Support, Liebert Corp.

21. Systems Design Interactive Physical Analysis of Assembly Mechanisms
Automatic simulation of mechanisms and assemblies under the influence of forces and mechanical devices
Enabled by the mass and center-of-gravity of the parts in an assembly
Desired part to part interaction is captured and maintained

Physically realistic behavior analysis reduces need for physical prototypes

22. Systems Design Capturing Design Intent
Assembly Context is the Framework for Capturing Design Intent
Assembly Features
Designed in context; only relevant in that assembly
Assembly Driven Part Features (ADPs)
Designed in context; driven down into individual parts for reuse in other assemblies

23. Systems Design Capturing Design Intent
Assembly Context Defines Differing Applications for Same Subassembly
Adjustable Assemblies
Under-constrained DOFs are defined in higher level assembly
Each occurrence may have different constraints and relative positions
Adjustability captured and maintained in Systems Library
“The machinery we design for the beverage industry performs many complex functions, such as automated filling, packaging, labeling, cleaning and inspection. New adjustable design capabilities in Solid Edge Version 15 will enhance and speed our ability to understand multiple positions and avoid collisions within our assemblies which routinely top 10,000 parts each.” Thomas Philipp, Krones AG

24. Systems Design Capturing Design Intent
Increased Control over Relationships Speeds Design and Evaluation of Design Alternatives
