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.
