What’s new in Solid edge 2019?

Solid Edge® software is a portfolio of affordable, easy-to-use software tools that advance all aspects of the product development process, including mechanical and electrical design, simulation, manufacturing, technical documentation, and data management. Solid Edge 2019 adds best-in-class electrical and printed circuit board (PCB) design technologies, new requirements management capabilities, fully integrated simulation analysis, the latest tools for subtractive and additive manufacturing, and free secure cloud-based project collaboration. The expanded portfolio makes it even easier for customers of all business sizes to realize innovation by taking advantage of the end-to-end digital twin.

The latest release of Solid Edge provides new modular plant design capabilities, with Solid Edge P&ID Design and Solid Edge Piping Design. Providing 2D flow diagram and symbol support for P&ID creation. The latest features in Solid Edge Piping Design can help reduce design errors and ensure efficient piping design in industries such as Oil & Gas.

The new design for additive manufacturing capabilities enables manufacturers to produce low production lots very quickly and inexpensively. Also new in Solid Edge 2019 is Solid Edge CAM Pro, a comprehensive, highly flexible system that uses the latest machining technology to efficiently program CNC machine tools helping confirm parts are manufactured as designed.

“The global market requirement to develop and deliver increasingly complex products in shrinking timeframes has created many new challenges for our customers, as well as new opportunities to differentiate,” said John Miller, senior vice president, Mainstream Engineering, Siemens PLM Software. “I’m confident that the integration of leading technologies from Mentor and the next-generation design capabilities delivered in the Solid Edge 2019 portfolio will empower our customers to innovate in the new era of digitalization.”

Can you please tell us about the Subscription model for Solid Edge?

“We started subscription model in 2013 for certain countries and in November 2017 for India. Our plan is to roll it out country by country”, said Mr. John Fox.

“If you see the used cases of the subscription model globally, it naturally fits. We don’t see any overlap, rather what we see is an overall expansion. Since we have launched this model, our reach is increasing in the market. The overall reactions in the market have been favorable. In India, we still have to promote it more as we have done in other countries, said Mr. Fox”.
