EDS Awards "Certified Select" Status on Solid Edge Version 11 to 33 Complementary CAD/CAM/CAE Software Solutions

With this certification, the applications join Solid Edge to provide integrated solutions for creating, capturing and sharing digital product knowledge

PLANO, Texas - EDS today announced it has awarded "Certified Select" status to 33 complementary CAD/CAM/CAE software solutions on Solid Edge Version 11. 

Available immediately, all 33 applications join Solid Edge, a leading 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software product from EDS PLM Solutions, to provide high-performance integrated solutions that assist manufacturers in designing, simulating, managing, and producing mechanical parts and assemblies. Each earned the "Certified Select" status within the Solid Edge Voyager Program by delivering the highest levels of integrated solutions to meet the diverse needs of mechanical designers engaged in every stage of the product development process.

"Our Solid Edge philosophy of delivering a whole product solution is key to the success of our customers," says Bill McClure, vice president of the MCAD (mechanical computer-aided design) business unit at EDS PLM Solutions. "In addition to the successful launch of Solid Edge Version 11, we're very pleased to have our first 33 Certified Select solutions available. These products effectively leverage the design work of Solid Edge users worldwide, enabling us to work closely with our Voyager partners to deliver the best possible productivity-rich solutions to meet our customers needs."

Solid Edge, in combination with Certified Select products, provides complete engineering solutions for development of products such as machinery, electro-mechanical equipment and automotive tooling. Currently there are more than 150 complementary solutions available from the Voyager Program that cover disciplines such as finite element analysis, computer-aided manufacturing, product data management, kinematics, standard parts, and much more.

Testing Benefits End Users Voyager Program testing procedures are designed to provide the highest quality applications for Solid Edge. Program members receive early access to both development tools and documentation to keep in sync with new Solid Edge functionality

"The release of Solid Edge Version 11 and new levels of integration among our Voyager Program members continue to enable our customers to improve their design processes," said McClure. "A perfect example is how Mechanical Dynamics takes advantage of Solid Edge Insight technology in Version 11 by using new built-in engineering data management capabilities. Solid Edge users with their Dynamic Designer program can now manage motion analysis studies and further streamline the product development process."

Solid Edge Voyager Program members that have already passed the thorough product testing and integration measurement standards for Solid Edge Version 11 include: Alamar Systems with ASAP, ALGOR with InCAD Designer/Solid Edge and InCAD/Solid Edge Extender, Ansys with DesignSpace, BCT Technology with 3D Pool for Solid Edge, CADENAS with PARTsolutions, CADExtend with MD/Fasteners for Solid Edge, CAD-Partner with SMAP parts and organizer, CN Industries with Goelan, DP Technology with Espirit, Eigner and Partner with axalant for Solid Edge, EMT Software with SE PartsXL, Feature Recognizer, gedas with SAP and Matrix Integrations, Gibbs and Associates with GibbsCAM, Immersive Design with IPA and Web Publisher, ISAP with CAD Manager, Part Manager, and Solid Manager, Mechanical Dynamics with Dynamic Designer, MechSoft.com with Engineering Handbook and Intelligent Parts, MSC Software with MSC.visualNastran 4D and MSC.visualNastran Motion, Pathtrace with EdgeCAM, SmarTeam with SmartEdge, Structural Research & Analysis With COSMOS/DesignSTAR, Theorem Solutions with Cadverter, TLD with PCBto3D, and Varatech with SigmundEdge.

Solid Edge customer case studies affirm the values and benefits of integrated Voyager partner solutions:

"Compatibility with other programs was guaranteed by the Solid Edge Voyager Program, which ensures the highest level of compatibility between Solid Edge models and program member applications", says Chris Paap, CAD system manager at A&E Manufacturing based in Racine, Wisconsin.

"We estimate that productivity for the overall design and manufacturing process has increased by around 20% as a result", said Seitaro Hirano, Supervisor at the Media Network Division at NEC Engineering in Japan.

"The tools and capabilities the company gained when it adopted Solid Edge and solutions from the various Voyager Program members precisely fit the company's needs to update the product line for the future," says David Amormino, engineering manager at Micro-Vu Corp. in Windsor, California.

"The fact that companies [Voyager Partners] stay current with the latest revision of Solid Edge is important in the next phase of White-Rodgers' process development and increases the value of Solid Edge even more." Says Andy Geimer, computer-aided engineering systems manager at White-Rodgers in St. Louis, Missouri.
