Solid Edge ST5. Design Better. Solid Edge ST5 - Why ST5? Siemens PLM Software has a long history of listening to customers’ needs and delivering capabilities to help you design better. Over 1300 enhancements in ST5 prove real value in your choice of Solid Edge. Learn more about the new features and enhancements, including more flexible synchronous design, thermal simulation, world-class drafting, and more. Read some case studies to see how companies that use Solid Edge are getting real productivity gains. Plus see how you can also manage projects and data faster and easier with a new Microsoft SharePoint App, Insight XT. Flexible Synchronous Modeling Flexible Synchronous Modeling Solid Edge ST5 takes synchronous design to a new level with multi-body modeling. With this integrated approach, imported assemblies can be consolidated into a single part file to better represent purchased components. Parts can be split or merged, giving you a flexible way to adapt designs to different manufacturing processes. With this and many other new capabilities, you can accelerate design, speed revisions, and improve imported 2D and 3D data re-use. Built-In Thermal Simulation Built-In Thermal Simulation Simulate designs involving steady-state heat transfer with Solid Edge ST5. Using proven Femap technology, designers or engineers can analyze thermal conditions on mechanical or electro-mechanical assemblies. When combined with other built-in solvers, designers have more tools to help shave material costs and reduce the need for physical prototypes.
