History-Free, Feature-Based Design Environment from Siemens PLM

Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division, announced the introduction of Solid Edge software with synchronous technology, the first version of Solid Edge to incorporate Siemens PLM Software's history-free, feature-based design technology for digital product development. Solid Edge with synchronous technology is a core component of the Velocity Series portfolio.

"I have not seen anything as exciting and innovative as Solid Edge with synchronous technology since the introduction of parametric modeling in the late 80s. Solid Edge has crafted a dramatic breakthrough by combining direct modeling, parametric modeling and a new user interface," said Ray Kurland, president, Technicom.

"Siemens PLM Software has re-thought how users can more easily model in 3D. Users should love the ease of building and editing models -- all without any need to pre-plan how models might be used in the future. Solid Edge's competitors will be scrambling for years to catch up."
