Solid Edge is a multi-faceted software portfolio and includes a wide range of applications and features that make it the preferred choice for professionals across industries and companies of all sizes.
However, this can make it complex for first-time users, regardless of their prior CAD knowledge.
We offer a variety of self-guided tutorials to help you get up to speed with Solid Edge, including the Solid Edge GUI (Graphical User Interface) and basics of 2D/3D modeling, and more. New users can learn the basics in a little as 1 hour.
For users making the switch from SOLIDWORKS, the Command Finder in Solid Edge allows users to enter a familiar SOLIDWORKS command and it will return the equivalent command in Solid Edge.
Most CAD companies use the “File Open” method for working with non-CAD data. Solid Edge can open up data from a lot of different systems, including SOLIDWORKS, STRC, ProE, Inventor, CATIA, and AutoCAD. There are drawbacks to this method, however, which is why we recommend using the SOLIDWORKS Data Migration Tool.
Benefits of using the SOLIDWORKS Data Migration Tool include:

Many companies are making the switch to Solid Edge
According to Matt Lombard, an online CAD blogger and influencer, Solid Edge has something for everyone, especially SOLIDWORKS users looking for an alternative. Read his full article here for a third-party perspective.
We operate solely on the Parasolid kernel for all of our CAD products, including Solid Edge—a first in the industry from a single provider. This enables us to provide varied capabilities, at different price points, in a cost-effective, scalable package. Both Solid Edge SOLIDWORKS operate on the Parasolid kernel which is essentially the operating system for any 3D CAD software platform. Whenever you draw a line or make a calculation, it is Parasolid that does the heavy lifting for you.
And because we own, develop and openly share Parasolid, we’re able to provide unmatched protection for your company’s data and technology investments, while ensuring easy data migration from other CAD products that operate on Parasolid.

Solid Edge delivers unmatched performance for large, complex assemblies. While you may have become accustomed to frequent crashes and 20+ minute load times to open an assembly using your current CAD system, Solid Edge handles assembly operations faster than other professional CAD solutions on the market today.
As designs become more complex, the number of parts in an assembly often grows. Solid Edge helps you quickly and easily create and manage even the largest assemblies, without lags or crashes. Create exact representations of all components—including tubes, pipes, wires, weldments, and sheet metal—in a complete digital mockup that allows for more accurate design and analysis. Solid Edge helps you quickly detect and fix clash and interference issues, generate assembly instructions, and conduct customer reviews—reducing the need for costly prototypes.

Solid Edge provides users with a complete portfolio of affordable, easy-to-use software tools that address all aspects of the product development process–3D design, simulation, manufacturing, data management and more. Solid Edge combines the speed and simplicity of direct modeling with the flexibility and control of parametric design – made possible with synchronous technology.
Software adoption is a key ingredient for success in any organization. When employing new CAD users, you want the best for your business. A common driver for customers switching from other CAD software is the difference compared to Solid Edge. Solid Edge is used by thousands of colleges and universities and businesses worldwide who have existing experience with Solid Edge products.
With the Siemens Xcelerator Academy, new users can master Solid Edge and other key elements of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to become leading experts in Siemens software. Training and learning opportunities include live training, online certification programs, guided learning programs, and dynamic learning maps.
Solid Edge is updated every year as part of an annual update, with a focus on delivering new features and enhancements that our customers value most. But unlike many other CAD tools, Solid Edge ensures that your legacy data is protected.
An integral part of the comprehensive Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services, Solid Edge is a great entry point for small- and medium-sized manufacturers with flexible options to access different Siemens products as your business grows.
