Solid Edge(r) 3D CAD, Version 16
UGS


UGS, Plano, TX, has launched Version 16 of Solid Edge(r) 3D CAD software that includes new system design features such as adjustable parts, fastener systems, and dynamic families of assemblies. It also offers increased familiarity for AutoCAD(r) users, a new capability to create 3D parts from 2D assembly layouts, and new tools for hybrid 2D/3D design, including a new "Zero D" capability that allows the definition of product structure before any geometry is committed to paper. Virtual Studio+ is a photo-realistic rendering solution that includes a new artistic, sketch-based rendering capability for early-stage representations and concept reviews. For machine design, the new version adds frame design and piping capabilities, and the Solid Edge Mold Tooling feature is enhanced to automate the design of features such as runner bars, slides, inserts, and water channels.
