What is Solid Edge?
Solid Edge, a core component of the Velocity Series™ portfolio, is the most complete hybrid 2D/3D CAD system that uses synchronous technology for accelerated design, faster change, and improved imported reuse. With superior part and assembly modeling, drafting, transparent data management, and built-in finite element analysis, Solid Edge eases the growing complexity of product design.
Announcing Solid Edge ST7: Re-imagine What’s Possible

Solid Edge ST7 includes hundreds of customer requested enhancements and delivers fast and flexible 3D modeling, streamlined design management, powerful new apps and an amazing user experience that empower you to re-imagine what’s possible. Take your designs to the next level with faster, more flexible 3D modeling and beautiful photo-realistic rendering. Get more productive with powerful new apps for design, manufacturing, and collaboration. Unleash your creative potential with easier access and our most intuitive user interface yet.

Solid Edge FREE Viewers
The Solid Edge Viewer is easy to download and install, and will allow you to view assembly, part, sheet metal, weldment and draft files as well as DXF and AutoCAD DWG files.
Add-On Application
Different manufacturing industries face their own unique design challenges, and it is neither acceptable nor practical for a CAD system to deliver a generic collection of tools and expect users to adapt them to their own needs. Solid Edge recognized this from the start, and has long been focused on providing tools and workflows that offer specific solutions to these challenges.
Solid Edge and Femap Apps
No one can do it all, which is why the Solid Edge and Femap applications have an open architecture that supports the creation of specialized “apps” on top of our products. Partners, customers and developers have access to APIs, allowing them to extend Solid Edge and Femap and create entirely new functions or integrations with existing technology.
