Solid Edge
Generative Design Pro
Using advanced software and computing
power to optimize designs
Benefits• Use advanced software and computing power to optimize designs• Realize the value of additive
manufacturing• Improve machine efficiency withlower component weight• Reduce component cost by using lessmaterialSummary
The Solid Edge® software Generative
Design Pro module provides advanced
software and computing power so you
can optimize designs. By using Solid
Edge Generative Design Pro, you cancreate attractive organic-looking
designs. Once the designer inputs
requirements like design space, material, loads, target weight, safety factor,manufacturing constraints, etc., Solid
Edge Generative Design Pro applies
finite element methods (FEM) andcomputing power to analyze hundredsof potential solutions; then offers theoptimum shape that meets the design
requirements. The resulting high-quality
output is a mesh (or facet) based 3D
computer-aided design (CAD) modelthat can be edited further or sent
directly to a 3D printer.
Features
Solid Edge Generative Design Pro is a
powerful solution that enables quick
creation of optimized, lightweight
product designs. It provides the latest
topology optimization technology forfast and accurate design optimization.
This allows you to run multiple weighttargets, load cases and constraint
scenarios simultaneously when needed.

• Create highly aesthetic products• Reduce multi-part assemblies to single components

Solid Edge Generative Design Pro leverages Convergent Modeling to enable the use of mesh data
downstream.

Solid Edge
Generative Design Pro
Solid Edge Generative Design Pro also
integrates with your current productdevelopment process. By using
Convergent Modeling™ technology andsynchronous technology, meshedmodels are seamlessly integrated into
the normal model editing process. With
standard Solid Edge commands, you canadd features to integrated components
like cutouts, holes and bosses. You cancreate 2D drawings from the 3D model,
or directly manufacture the component
using additive manufacturing. With
today’s high-resolution 3D printers,
parts with such complex shape are easy
to work with, which can lead to an
overall faster time-to-market for new
products. Furthermore, Solid Edge
Generative Design Pro can be used tocreate shapes suitable for traditionalmanufacturing methods.
What is included
Solid Edge Generative Design Pro is an
add-on product for Solid Edge Design.
You must currently be running a Solid
Edge base license to be eligible foradding Solid Edge Generative
Design Pro.
Extending value
Solid Edge is a portfolio of affordable,easy-to-deploy, maintain and use software tools that advance all aspects ofthe product development process —mechanical and electrical design,
simulation, manufacturing, technicaldocumentation, data management andcloud-based collaboration.
