Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature (history based) and synchronous technology solid modeling software. It runs on Microsoft Windows and provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and 2D orthographic view functionality for mechanical designers. Through third party applications it has links to many other Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technologies. Originally developed and released by Intergraph in 1996 using the ACIS geometric modeling kernel it later changed to using the Parasolid kernel. In 1998 it was purchased and further developed by UGS Corp (the purchase date corresponds to the kernel swap). In 2007, UGS was acquired by the Automation & Drives Division of Siemens AG. UGS company was renamed Siemens PLM Software on October 1, 2007. Since Sep 2006 Siemens also offers a free 2D version called Solid Edge 2D Drafting. Solid Edge is available in either Classic or Premium. The "Premium" package includes all of the features of "Classic" in addition to mechanical and electrical routing software, and powerful engineering simulation capabilities for CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). Solid Edge is a direct competitor to SolidWorks, PTC Creo, and Autodesk Inventor. == History == *Solid Edge 1 1995 (was first release) *Solid Edge 2 1996 *Solid Edge 3 1996 *Solid Edge 3.5 1997 (In October 1997 the Sheet Metal environment was introduced) *Solid Edge 4 1997 *Solid Edge 5 1998 (UGS Corp switched from the ACIS modeling kernel to Parasolid kernel) *Solid Edge 6 *Solid Edge 7 *Solid Edge 8 *Solid Edge 9 *Solid Edge 10 *Solid Edge 11 *Solid Edge 12 *Solid Edge 14 *Solid Edge 15 *Solid Edge 16 2004 *Solid Edge 17 2005 *Solid Edge 18 2006 *Solid Edge 19 2007 *Solid Edge 20 2008 *Solid Edge ST1 2008 with Synchronous Technology *Solid Edge ST2 2009 *Solid Edge ST3 2010 (was released on October 13, allowing both Synchronous and Ordered mode to exist in all modelling environment). *Solid Edge ST4 2011 *Solid Edge ST5 2012 *Solid Edge ST6 2013 *Solid Edge ST7 2014 (older Virtual Studio renderer replaced with Keyshot; 64-bit only) *Solid Edge ST8 2015〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tenlinks.com/news/siemens-releases-solid-edge-st8/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solid Edge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
