Having the choice between direct modeling and ordered is perfect. This is a robust CAD tool with many built-in advantages with their standard license such as: FEA, data management, reverse engineering, generative design and advanced rendering with KeyShot
Eventually, I would love this program to be in the cloud. I think that's where it's all going in the future.

I have used for simple to mid level of designing mainly. For high end desiging I moved to Unigraphics. Solid Edge was very easy to create assembly manuals for servicing, prodcut catralogs etc. It is a excellent tool for creating individual components of a complex assembly.
Solid Edge is reasonablly priced software. It has excellent integration with next high end software called Unigraphics. Hence designing using a easy interface of Solid Edge one can take the same data into Unographics for advance functionalities like creating digital manufacturing data, high end analysis, live simulation, Aesthetic presentation.
It lacks few surfacing functionalities. It the 3D solid model becomes large it demands hgiugh resources to function properly.
Chanderkiran, thank you so much for your honest review of your Solid Edge experience! We're so excited that we have been an asset in your design process and the ease of use with Unigraphics have helped you. For further help with the surfacing portion please refer to this tutorial as it may be of some interest for you: - https://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/training/se/en/ST5/pdf/spse01560-s-1050_en.pdf

It was average when comparing to other CAD software, only upside using this software is that if you have all the SIEMENS suite , working in the corporate is pretty easy and useful.
When working on 3D CAD workspace, controls and buttons are the average among other solutions, navigation on workspace is good.
The poor compatibility with other software at the time to export and import parts, also cost is a little big high between CAD solutions.
Thanks so much for your honest review on your experience with Solid Edge! We are happy to hear that you've had an easy time using the Siemens Suite. We hope in the future we can provide something that exceeds your expectations compared to other platforms.
