Solid Edge 2021 brought us powerful performance updates to make our working flow more efficient in the areas of Reverse Engineering as well as Part Modeling, and this year, it moves further, launching the promising and practical next generation design functions, Subdivision Modeling and Convergent Modeling.

Let´s take a look at the detailed updates of Solid Edge 2022 and discover its advantages and innovations.

 

Subdivision modeling Enhancements

Subdivision Modeling makes it easier to generate a stylized body and control its shape by using a polygonal cage. Solid Edge 2022 introduces new modification functions.

Bridge

• In the Subdivision Modeling environment, you can use the new Bridge command  to create a loft-like feature that connects edges or faces selected on a single cage or two separate cages.

Open bridge, with edges as input	Two section bridge, with shape curve	No shape curve, linear bridge	One-sided bridge

Offset Cage Faces

• Offset allows users to select faces of a cage and offset them along their normal direction

Split with Offset

• Allows adding local detail to model without having to split the entire model, use the new Split with Offset command to add detail to a face by offsetting the new faces inward by a user-defined amount.

Align to Curve

Use the new Align to Curve  command to fit the vertices of body cage faces to one or more existing curves or to curves you interactively sketch. You can undo and redo each curve edit until you achieve the desired shape.

Convergent Modeling

Solid Edge now supports mixed mesh modelling (a.k.a Hybrid Convergent modelling). Mesh and Classical faces are in one body, this is extremely helpful when you do assembly reverse engineering and 3D printing.

 

The new Show Facet Edges command controls the display of facet edges within a model. When selected, the command displays the facets; when deselected, the facet edges are not displayed.

Reference Point Cloud

• New capability to insert .asc point cloud scan files into Assembly
• Visualize & evaluate Solid Edge models in the context of point clouds
• Support 3D Measure

“There are many challenges for a startup – but none that cannot be solved.”

– Siemens Virtual Startup Day

Under this slogan the Virtual Startup Day hosted by Siemens took place introducing the benefits of digital product development for the efficient conversion of ideas into products. The free event was intentionally tailored to give an elaborate overview about digital product development, the concept and advantages of the digital twin and how to design, optimize and manufacture prototypes.

Eric Rudolf The, Founder and CEO of Evolusi3D, SHINING 3D´s sales partner in Indonesia held one of the three expert workshops, tailored give an overview of the capacities of 3D scanning and 3D printing for Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping. Evolusi3D´s mission is taking education, business and industry in Indonesia to the next level by means of 3D scanning, 3D printing and 3D software.

Next Generation Manufacturing Workflow: 3D Scanning – Solid Edge – 3D Printing

The world we are living in today is becoming more and more complex. In the course of digital transformation, offering customizable products has become a huge advantage for businesses across industries. Therefore traditional methods like manual measuring or physical design methods using wood, clay or wax for prototyping are continually decreasing in use. The rise of 3D digital technologies has played a crucial role in the course of these developments.

3D Scanning: More Efficient – More Affordable

3D Scanning has become more efficient and more accessible with the rise of high-quality reliable 3D digitizing solutions provided by SHINING 3D. Especially the widely renown EinScan series covering a broad field of scanning technologies, suitable for diverse application scenarios has helped businesses across the globe to enter into the era of digital manufacturing. It has never been easier to create authentic digital copies of any object one could ever imagine. The user friendly product design, the intuitive 3D scanning software and the smooth operation of the hardware make EinScan 3D Scanners the ideal tools for Product Design and Reverse Engineering workflows for 3D scanning beginners and professionals alike.

Solid Edge: Mechanical Design – Reverse Engineering

Solid Edge enables users to edit 3D scanning data and modify products efficiently by means of enhanced Reverse Engineering capabilities in the software. The improved performance of the Reverse Engineering Module boosts the efficiency of product development and enhancement tasks for limitless application scenarios. The latest Solid Edge software is included with every EinScan 3D Scanner to assist SHINING 3D customers in their digital design and manufacturing endeavors.

Reverse Engineering

Performance

The reverse engineering functions of Solid Edge underwent a serious makeover in terms of performance improvement. Users will be able to benefit from an increased performance efficiency of functions like mesh deletion, hole filling and automatic region detection.

Deviation Analysis

As new tool in the roundup of Solid Edge functions, Deviation Analysis is a routine form of troubleshooting. A deviation detection system allows seamless collaboration across the manufacturing workflow chain and quick identification of the initial causes of production issues. When speed is of utmost importance, a robust deviation detection system, along with a good process for analyzing the resulting data, is essential for instant problem solving. This inspection method based on point-by-point comparison of two objects will help users of Solid Edge 2021 edition to thoroughly compare and evaluate the differences between B-Rep and Mesh models, or between two Mesh models. Initial features include:

• Bodies can be design, construction or surface bodies
• Mesh bodies can be bodies imported from STL or JT
• Reference and test bodies can be switched

Deviation Analysis: Setting Functions

Deviation Analysis: Results

Solid Edge 2021 edition adopts the color coding of simulation results to deliver an understandable visual delivery of inspection results. Inside and outside deviation are shown as positive and negative values.

The following deviation locations can be seen

• Max deviation in the model
• Min deviation in the model
• Max deviation within the deviation distance selected

The results of the report can be conveniently copy pasted as text format.

Brush & Box selection

A new Brush and Box selection tool has been added

Part Modeling

Subdivision Modeling

Subdivision Modeling is a modeling technique that generates  stylized body using a polygonal cage to control its shape. The body is generated through a set of rules that is repeatedly applied to each polygonal face/edge/vertex to generate the next level polygons’ vertices and their connectivity.

Adaptive UI

Introducing the concept of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) with its Adaptive UI, Solid Edge 2021 Edition will change the ways of working fundamentally. A new “Predict Commands” toolbar has been integrated above the graphics area. The Predictive UI will learn the designer’s usage behaviour of the software and then predict the next command that the user will need, giving them 10 choices to select from.

Combined with the accessible and user friendly high performance 3D scanning solutions from SHINING 3D, Solid Edge 2021 Edition can improve your 3D digital workflow significantly, no matter if you are an engineer, a designer or a doctor.
