The drawing options are very good and quality drafts are produced in very little time. The software is more powerful and stable than some other brands and the support staff in Australia is fantastic.
The user interface of this software is bit messy which makes its user to get bored soon. The software is very confusing to learn and operate.
It is easy to understand, the user interface is wonderful and is very easy to use. It gives an in depth knowledge of designing of products.
The software should not proceed for next design steps if there is error in sketching.
Solid Edge is Simple yet Advanced CAD Software, It is best for beginners because its interface is simple and features are also easy to learn. You can easily Perform 2D to 3D designs.
For example, cutting several shapes at once in the model - when using the cut tool. Maybe I don't like it because I used to work with other software before and it worked differently.
I would recommend Solid Edge to anyone looking for robust and capable design software.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or stress simulation cannot be done in this software.
The ability to perform CFD analysis is amazing and it is very similar to the Ansys Fluent.
I noticed a restriction on exporting files to only discovery file format.
I like the powerful and capabilities that are built into the software.
Symmetry planes, contact types, convergence reports (in my case) 'on the fly analysis' were completely missing.
I like the combination of a 3d direct modeller with the super easy simulation feedback. Design iterations are made instantly.
Installaing on a remote server without GPU is slightly painful.
Ansys discovery is a great tool for easy and quick simulation.
Too many features can be difficult to navigate.
