Designcenter Solid Edge Design Configurator fact sheet

This three-page fact sheet describes Designcenter Solid Edge Design Configurator, a design automation application embedded in the Solid Edge environment. It focuses on configure-to-order and engineer-to-order work, where each customer order needs its own model, drawings and bill of materials, and explains how engineering rules are captured once and then reused for every order.

What the document covers

• The rule types supported: engineering formulas, geometry rules mapped to model parameters, drawing automation rules, BOM rules, user interface rules and truth tables
• Rule authoring through a guided, step-by-step process that needs no programming, with rules tested directly in the current Solid Edge session
• Guided configuration inside Solid Edge or in a web browser, plus batch automation of design jobs
• Automatic drawings from templates with dimension retrieval and scaling, and custom assembly configurations that control component visibility
• Sales engineering outputs such as a costed BOM, 3D visualisations and sales drawings to support quotations
• Preconfigured datasets for ladders, conveyors and enclosures, and the minimum system requirements

Who it is for

Engineering and sales engineering teams at machine builders and makers of customisable products. It also explains why a built-in configurator can replace home-grown spreadsheet or API-based solutions that are hard to maintain.
