Solid Edge ST6 Has Arrived!

Industry-leading Solid Edge ST6 has just been released, which will help you Design Better products, complete projects quicker and minimize costs.  ST6 features:

- Advances in assembly, stylized surfacing and sheet metal design expand the breadth of 3D models

- Automated design optimization helps minimize material use and product weight while improving part fit and function

 - Solid Edge for SharePoint provides advanced, visual design management tools implemented on existing IT infrastructure

 - New bulk migration tool facilitates adoption of synchronous technology for existing competitive data

Solid Edge ST6 satisfies over 1,300 customer requests, confirming its position as the industry leading design solution.  The new release includes: 

- Efficient assembly modeling
- Stamped metal part design
- Expanded tools for stylized surfacing

- World-class drafting and faster design optimization

Solid Edge ST6 provides seamless transition from competitive systems by promoting the re-use of much of the Inherent Intelligent model data.

Solid Edge ST6 allows you to:

-Maximize product efficiencies
-Take product development to a new level
-Reduce costs

“The enhancements in Solid Edge ST6 Drafting will be a great time saver. I can see significant productivity improvements with the ability to snap balloons to an alignment line or bounding box.  One of the biggest time savers in Solid Edge ST6 might be the ability to auto-arrange 2D detailing dimensions that were retrieved from the 3D model.”-- David Iverson - Drafting Checker - Ariel Corporation

A Quick Peek Inside Solid Edge ST6

 Solid Edge University 2013 will be upon us soon.  Solid Edge ST6 will be officially announced by the director of Solid Edge Development, Dan Staples.

Ally PLM is offering up a Solid Edge Lunch Bytes: What's New in ST6 Part 1 webinar, a 30-minute web session dedicated to making you a better Solid Edge User, along with providing you a FREE Subway lunch!

A few new attributes like a New Relfective Display mode and Dimension auto-arrange will be unveiled.  Surfacing looks to be a focus for ST6, with new tools such as the Reflective Plane and Ruled Surface.

Check out the video on both:



As you can see from the Ken Grundey's video above, he says the Reflective Plane doesn't need an overhead geometric mirror to showcase the second half of the part previous to completion.  Usually you would model one half of the symmetric molded part and mirror the body of the other half when completed.  ST6 uses zebra shading tools for analyzing and inspecting the surface quality.   Ruled Surface uses existing geometry to to provide multiple options in order to create the surface.

Ken's video below shows the drafting process and how to make prints presentable and simpler to create.  According to Ken, Arrange Dimensions allow the user to automatically arrange dimensions to the standard defined by your template.  When using the Retrieve Dimension command to pull 3D model dimensions into 2D drawing and when updating a 3D model with an existing dimension drawing, dimensions don't always come in or update in a neat fashion.


Solid Edge ST6 will be upon us soon.  It will provide you with an elaborate amount of new tools and enhanced productivity.
