Did you know that Solid Edge can be customised to automate repetitive tasks and practices, or extended to provide bespoke applications?
Whilst Solid Edge as an out of the box solution is an extremely competent and extensive product there are many tasks and processes that can be streamlined.
Over the years our team of developers have worked on many bespoke development projects with clients in order to help improve their workflow and ultimately save them time and money.
This has resulted in the creation of a suite of Solid Edge Utilities that are available as commercial applications. These solve many different problems from eliminating repetitive tasks through to simple and easy to use reporting and data management.
These utilities include:
- File Control - helps you to easily and quickly search, manage, and control your design data even if your file management is a total disaster right now. It can also generate bespoke reports from Solid Edge to suit most requirements. File Control is an easy to use, quick, and efficient data management application for Solid Edge. It has been designed to be simple to install and requires virtually zero configuration. It's an invaluable tool for any user who plans to use Solid Edge Insight or Teamcenter.
- Border Control - is a Solid Edge utility that automates the task of replacing background sheets in your Solid Edge draft files. You may need to modify your background sheets to satisfy: changes in corporate branding, changes in intellectual property ownership, the requirements of your clients, the need for additional information on your drawing sheets, or the availability of additional background sheets for files in your existing drawing library.
The value of these utilities in licensing costs alone is almost $500 per annum.
As a Gold or Platinum member of Solid Mastermind you'll have complimentary access to both of these valuable Solid Edge utilities.
... important information to consider about developing your own utilities:
- Applications are costly to develop.
- In-house development is not the most effective use of resources.
- Most utilities or applications require updating with each new release of Solid Edge.
- Changes in operating hardware or software can negatively impact applications.
- In depth knowledge of Microsoft development applications and frameworks is required.
- In depth knowledge of Solid Edge and it's API (Application Programming Interface) is required.
- The testing and quality assurance of applications is very time consuming.
... which means that you can benefit immensely from using Solid Mastermind:
- You get immediate access to proven, tried, and tested Solid Edge utilities.
- You get an instant increase in productivity from using these tools.
- You save a huge amount of money compared to licensing them directly.
- You gain the peace of mind that these applications will be maintained to operate with the latest version of Solid Edge.
