Introducing Solid Edge X …

Access all the Solid Edge software features you love in a flexible, secure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment. With automatic updates and built-in cloud data management, Solid Edge X is designed to reduce IT complexity and costs. You can seamlessly collaborate across disciplines and connect globally with colleagues and customers. New AI-powered tools offer real-time assistance and help minimize disruptions to your workflows.

Simulation

A built-in finite element analysis (FEA), allowing design engineers to digitally validate part and assembly designs within the Solid Edge environment. Based on Femap finite element modeling and NX Nastran solver technology, it reduces the need for physical prototypes, which lowers your material and testing costs, and saves design time.

Simulation

FloEFD

FloEFD for Solid Edge is the only frontloading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool—fully embedded in Solid Edge.

Moving CFD simulation early into the design process helps design engineers examine trends and eliminate less desirable design options.
