Fast, Accurate and Easy Fluid Flow Analysis for the Design Engineer

Visualization of fan assisted cooling of electronic components is one of the many capabilities of FloEFD for Solid Edge.

The new integration of Mentor Graphics’ FloEFD analysis solution with S…

Milestones in CAD Features and Techniques

No. This is not another me too article on the brief history of CAD nor a foresight into the future of CAD over the next 20 years. In this write-up I attempt to discover through retrospection the most…

Modern Designs Bring New Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Challenges

Examples of product designs where heat transfer and fluid flow analysis is essential to optimize performance
As consumer products evolve, so do the heat source, heat transfer and aerodynamic eng…

Design Optimization in Solid Edge

I guess you can say this is an “oldie but goodie” in Solid Edge Simulation.  Well not that old, introduced in ST6, we bring to you the advantages of design optimization.  Do you need to opt…

New in ST9 – Pack and Go

One of the latest new features added in Solid Edge, and much requested functionality, is the Pack and Go command.  This command allows you to quickly and easily collect a set of project document…

Plan it or Wing it?

When you start a new model (this can mean either a complex single part or an assembly), do you plan out your approach to the model, or do you just start working? And if you plan it, is it a formal pl…

PLM plus …

My last article talked about whether CAD is growing more specialized or more generalized. My opinion is that it is moving in both directions at the same time. It is becoming more specialized in that …

Is CAD Moving Toward Specialization or Generalization?

 
A lot of CAD users get really passionate about our work because CAD itself enables us to bring our imaginations to life. See it in your head, make it in CAD, then everybody can see it on the…
