Designcenter Solid Edge Standard Parts fact sheet

This three-page fact sheet explains Designcenter Solid Edge Standard Parts, the parts management system used to store, find and place common components such as fasteners, bearings, structural steel members, pipes and fittings in Solid Edge assemblies. It focuses on how a company sets up its own approved standards so designers do not model the same parts again and again.

What the document covers

• The standard parts wizard included with Solid Edge and how it is used to populate a library with approved components
• Navigation by classification, with 3D previews, 2D graphics and section views showing parameters such as bolt length and nominal diameter
• Intelligent filtering that shows only valid size combinations, plus favourites for frequently used parts
• Capture fit technology, which lets a part know how it should be placed and prompts for the matching mating part
• Structural steel profiles for frame design, and pipes and fittings used within XpresRoute
• The optional Machinery Library (fasteners, bearings and pins to ANSI, DIN, ISO, JIS, GB, GOST and other standards) and the optional Piping Library

Who it is for

Design engineers, CAD administrators and engineering managers who want consistent part usage across assemblies, and purchasing teams interested in reducing part variety.
