Many companies in the manufacturing sector cannot cope with the growing demand for attractive product aesthetics, which greatly increases the complexity of design and implementation.

This difficulty is driving many companies to seek increasingly advanced assembly modeling to increase productivity, reduce costs, and speed time-to-market.

Currently, the key challenges of advanced assembly modeling fall into three main categories that engineers face in building and visualizing product designs quickly and cost-effectively.

What are the three main challenges?

• Performance: Engineers need smart tools to effortlessly select the best components to work with and, more importantly, "deactivate" parts not needed for the task at hand
• Usability: The CAD tool has a direct effect on the productivity of technical teams. Engineers require applications that have a wide range of functionality to successfully develop models of complex assemblies
• Productivity: Engineers need the right tools to create models of complex assemblies that meet the tight time and budget constraints of each project

Siemens Digital Industries Software's Solid Edge software addresses complex assembly modeling requirements by providing advanced capabilities to accelerate the product development process currently demanded by the market.

In this e-Book, we will examine cross-industry trends that are driving companies to seek increasingly advanced assembly modeling features.
