UGS Launches Solid Edge 19

SE 19 includes "hundreds of enhancements requested by our small and mid-size customers," says spokesperson.

New relationship types between gears and motors as well as new explode and motion simulation capabilities are some of the enhancements in Solid Edge 19 that UGS Corp. (Plano, TX) highlights. (See Al Dean’s SE 19 review in the September 2006 issue of DE).

Solid Edge v19 offers full-motion simulation capabilities. Here, engineers can now define relationships between different motion drivers, such as gears, pulleys, hydraulics, and cylinders. Next, engineers can send their suppliers and customers motion studies of their design, showing how it is intended to function. Additionally, v19 offers dynamic documentation tools that let engineers capture, modify, and animate how parts are assembled and disassembled.

Solid Edge v19 "includes hundreds of enhancements requested by our small and mid-size customers," said Adrian Scholes, director of Solid Edge marketing for UGS in a briefing with DE. Further, Mr. Scholes pointed out various features and capabilities that enable designers, manufacturers, and global partners to create, share, and manage design information.
