Play Video Faster performance and memory load time when developing large assemblies. New support for embedded components inside the assembly with no file reference, for simplified supplier data workflow. Synchronize files with cloud storage, while you work; view, measure and markup any computer-aided design (CAD) on any device; securely share projects with anyone; and, review designs in augmented reality (AR) on phones and tablets. Solid Edge manufacturing solutions provide fast and easy feature-based machining, allowing you to automatically determine the machining process for a wide range of features. Reduce time spent on reverse engineering with lightning-fast performance enhancements including deviation analysis. Open, save and revise data from Teamcenter, Siemens’ powerful PLM solution, with tight integration to ensure your working with the right data, every time. Go from engineering to documentation quickly and seamlessly working directly with Solid Edge 3D models; leveraging the digital twin ensures all changes to the original design are easily incorporated into existing publications. Better integration between flow simulation and structural simulation help create a more accurate digital twin. Add fluid pressure and temperatures results from Simcenter FLOEFD for Solid Edge for analysis in Solid Edge Simulation. Digitally validating and optimizing parts, assemblies and complete systems early in the design process reduces the need for physical prototypes, saving time and costs. See more screenshots & videos

Play Video Perhaps the greatest strength of Altium Designer's 3D PCB editor is the ability to perform 3D collision testing as well as catching general component-to-component collisions. Now you can confidently position one component under another, or test if the loaded board fits correctly into the enclosure. ActiveBOM is a powerful Bill of Materials management editor that brings comprehensive BOM management tools together with Altium Designer's powerful part information aggregation technologies, helping you manage the component selection challenge. Cross-probing allows users to jump between and select objects in both the logical schematic and physical layout domains. With Altium Designer you can escape the problems of a mixed-tool system and rely on a unified data model to make circuit board design and layout easy. This means you can design schematics, use schematic capture to create a new PCB, route printed circuit traces, and prepare for PCB assembly in a single program. The PCB layout design features make component placement and routing easy. The Interactive Properties panel for schematics includes several functional improvements as well as productivity enhancements. The entire layout has been refined to optimize efficiency, icons and graphical previews have been improved, and there is now a smart parameters filter both for schematic lists and components. Differential pair PCB routing is a design technique employed to create a balanced transmission system able to carry differential (equal and opposite) signals across a printed circuit board. Typically this differential routing will interface to an external differential transmission system, such as a connector and cable. Altium Designer ensures that your differential pairs are coupled together whether you’re entering or leaving a pad or just navigating around obstacles on your board. See more screenshots & videos
