The decision to buy Solid Edge

After months of research, bench marking, trails, discussions etc, Buff Design decided today to purchase Siemens PLM Velocity Series SolidEdge V21 with Synchronous Technology from Oldbury based value added reseller (VAR) Solid Application Ltd.

Our reasons to choose SolidEdge over its competitors, such as Solidworks 2009 , Pro Engineer Wildfire 5.0 or Autodesk Inventor 2009 were as detailed below

• Synchronous Technology, allowing the user to make rapid changes to the CAD model without fear of history tree collapse, whilst maintaining intelligence


• Best in class surface modeling


• High quality rendering with the Virtual Studio + rendering engine from Lightworks


• Industry leading, Femap Express Finite Element Analysis package


• Interoperability with other CAD data


• Seamless integration with Teamcentre Express cPDM and Microsoft Office 2007
