Quick personal comment on one of the feature Multi-body.

Since the launch of Synchronous Technology, Siemens have made great efforts to avoid disruption in your workflow. Ordered ( what i call linear modeling) was,  is and will be part of the design solution offer by Solid Edge. With Multi-Body many will probably say that it exist and it is a copy of what it is found in other CAD and it is not new. What we need to understand, Siemens want to minimize disruption for  those who want/make a leap forward. CADnosaure were able to work with Solid Edge for five years  and now they become Trynosaure.

Of course Solid Edge will not become a duplicate of any CAD,  new users from other CAD platform will need to adjust. But Siemens have shown that he is willing to make the necessary commitment without sacrifice it’s true nature and continue to promote industry best practices to keep your design as healthy as possible. So if you want to leap forward….

Write this in larger letters and it came from Tony Affuso presentation and it is the modo of Siemens PLM Software  ” We never let a customer fail“*

Tony hope i do not put to much pressure on the organization.

*Please keep in mind that a massive migration of nearly 1.8 million users may cause some delay
