Here we post customized or filtered resource materials for our customers to access.  Not everything on this page may apply to what your company does, but often you will find Best Practices in the form of a custom made PDF Manual or a Training Video that can be useful to your design, engineering, machining or manufacturing process.  With Synchronous Technology, Solid Edge redefines the rules for 3D modeling by combining the speed and flexibility of explicit modeling with control and parameterized design of a history-based system. Let us know if you have any ideas for resource material that might benefit your business.

Large Assemblies Best Practices with Solid Edge  
When we first saw a 1,000-part assembly from one of you, our Solid Edge customers, we thought, "Hey, now THAT’S a large assembly." Soon after, one of you had a 2,000-part assembly. Now, 3,000 and 4,000 have been surpassed, and there is even a 14,000-part assembly on record. None of these milestones happened over night and along the way Solid Edge has improved to better accommodate your large assembly requirements – eliminating inefficiencies, introducing new technologies, and adding tools that help you work more efficiently with large assemblies.  This document was prepared by collecting and condensing materials and resources for large assemblies in Solid Edge. Credit is given for Siemens documentation, Summit Tool and Geometric Solutions.
