Considered Both Products	DYNSIM Dynamic Simulation No answer on this topic	Solid Edge AH Alex Humphrey Principal Development Engineer Chose Solid Edge Solid Edge was excellent at sheetmetal and fabrication design as well as having a good Teamcenter integration Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Solid Edge Better usage, especially when using NX as CAM software as well. Incentivized Helpful? DR Daniel Rehn Admin and Software Dev Chose Solid Edge FreeCAD is often better than Solid Edge 2021 when converting files, but I hope this changes with 2023 NX is overall more powerful, but that is to be expected (and you cant add it above because it is too short for whatever reason). Incentivized Helpful? AJ Amit Javiya Process Engineer Chose Solid Edge First, we were using Autocad in our industry then we switched it to Solid edge. Autocad isn't well suited for 3D drawing and it takes very much time to make 3D in Autocad. In Solid Edge, you can create 3D drawings and convert them into 2D instantly without much effort. You can … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Solid Edge What makes Solid Edge better than any other of the previously mentioned software is the Synchronous technology feature. This is the ability to integrate 2D and 3D sketching. Without planning ahead you can start modeling from a simple sketch. This makes this software a better … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Solid Edge Solid Edge is an old technology of design. It is a pioneer of designing features. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Solid Edge SOLIDWORKS has a really intuitive interface for a traditional CAD package. It is easy to use, easy to learn and is perfectly suited for any user. Solid Edge lacks this ease of use. Autodesk Inventor is great for personal use as well as in small businesses. It is easy to learn, … Incentivized Helpful? Alan Urbina Profesor Chose Solid Edge I have used several programs to model but the one that I liked the most is Solid Edge. With this program you can do anything you need, you can also make assemblies very easily and make plans. Something that it does not have in comparison to others are the commands, if it had … Incentivized Helpful? David Breitstein Owner Chose Solid Edge It's actually simple Solid Works wins the popularity contest, AutoCad has so many years of user base Solid Edge wins the functionality portion of any comparison ($ to performance) to any product. eventually, companies realize this after the barrage of marketing. As the owner of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Solid Edge I would say it is on par with DraftSight, and better and worse than TurboCAD in performance. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Rodgers Mechanical Engineer Chose Solid Edge Solid Edge and SolidWorks can be very similar in the resulting output of parts, assemblies, and drawings. The difference lies in what goes into getting those results. SolidWorks is held back by slower editing as the parts gain more and more features, and becomes dangerous when … Incentivized Helpful? John T. Winter Senior Mechanical Engineer Chose Solid Edge I've used both SOLIDWORKS and Solid Edge. I prefer Solid Edge over SOLIDWORKS due to the ease of use. They are pretty similar, but the performance is the same as long as you have a good workstation. The price is less since Siemens owns the Parasolid kernel. It may just be a … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Smith, MBA CAD & Motion Media Design Instructor Chose Solid Edge Synchronous technology stands above the rest by a large margin. Having the ability to perform direct or parametric modeling in the same application is a huge benefit. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	For simple steel construction, it is great. When you want to do other stuff like electrical wiring, factory planning, etc. it's not great, and the solution you can buy does not fit our needs so we need to develop our own. Incentivized DR Daniel Rehn Admin and Software Dev Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Allows designers to work as they choose and not have to acclimate their work for the product's requirements. This results in productive use of Edge, thus an ROI for the company. Manage large (high count of components) assemblies very well. Users spend little to no time trying to overcome speed issue with respect to assemblies. Synchronous Design! This highly productive design process is unique to Edge and very addictive David Breitstein Owner Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Being used to 2-key and 3-key commands from the keyboard, it would be nice if this was more robust in Solid Edge. The capability of programming keystroke commands exists in Solid Edge, but it would be more user friendly in that regard. Editing hatches can be a challenge. I'm not a fan of the ribbon bar, but that seems to be a feature across software platforms in Windows. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	As mentioned previously, Siemens Solid Edge is not the most user-friendly of products at all. It requires intense training to make sure that the basics are understood, and after that, there are numerous other training interventions needed to be able to perform expert-level CAD functions. The GUI is not intuitive, as many other packages are, and the features built-in are not well defined. The process to use many of these features is counter-intuitive and requires a mind-shift.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I have been involved with support and training of Solid Edge for 24 years. Given that I based my business model on support, and have been successful for all these years, I know excellent support. Siemens support for Solid Edge, "GTAC", is the definition of support for a product in every aspect. David Breitstein Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	SOLIDWORKS has a really intuitive interface for a traditional CAD package. It is easy to use, easy to learn and is perfectly suited for any user. Solid Edge lacks this ease of use. Autodesk Inventor is great for personal use as well as in small businesses. It is easy to learn, produces great models quickly and is very reasonably priced. My personal favourite, Onshape has redefined what CAD is meant to be, as well as the way in which it is meant to be used. It is highly functional, intuitive, and changes the way in which CAD is perceived by the user. It is much more interactive than traditional CAD packages.

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	We have purchased a server version of solid edge so for one license 6 people can operate it at a time which is economically all viable. We have integrated it with PLM Teamcenter so we can share drawings and other files across other factories. Solid edge is less famous than Solid Works so sometimes you have to convert it into step files. It is very productive and easy to lean application for everyone.
