Renewed and smarter interface
Renewed and smarter interface
Solid Edge 2026 introduces a new user experience designed to enhance everyday productivity:
- Dark Mode to reduce eye strain
- Scalable SVG vector icons
- Newly redesigned vertical command bars
- Show/Hide commands with Undo/Redo support
- Configurable colums for advanced library management
User environment settings are now saved in the cloud, allowing you to restore your personal configuration on any device
Designcenter X: design anywhere, collaborate in real time
Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 in natively integrated with Teamcenter X, Siemens' cloud platform for product lifecycle management. This means:
- Always-available data access, even in hybrid or remote environments
- Named-user licensing and centralized control
- Integrated management of revisions, workflows, and document release
- Intellectual property protection with selective sharing
In just a few minutes, you can launch a fully cloud-based, collaborative, and secure working environment.
Model Based Definition
Speed up and simplify the creation of the definition based on the MBD modelImprovements in Model-Based Definition (MBD) provide advanced tools to detail 3D models more precisely and efficiently. With the new hybrid annotations, dimensions and feature control frames can be inserted into drawings with an integrated and streamlined workflow. Updated feature control frames and surface texture symbols allow users to adhere to evolving standards, while the automatic dimensioning è functionality has been expanded to ensure further consistency and minimize errors.
Ai and automation: draw less, design more
Solid Edge 2026 leverages intelligent algorithms to accelerate key daily design operations:
- AI-powered Magnetic Snap Assembly for rapid mating
- Automatic generation of 2D drawing from 3D models
- Automatic hole recognition for CAM operations
- Smart suggestions during milling workflows
Design becomes smoother, and repetitive work in drastically reduced.
Data reuse and migration
Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 streamlines the reuse, sharing, and migration of design data—regardless of its source or destination.
Import architectural models from Autodesk Revit, export only the geometry required to protect intellectual property, and simplify steel fabrication with direct DSTV export.
For teams transitioning from other CAD systems, the new integration with Elysium CADFeature ensures high-fidelity data migration with built-in quality checks. Whether you are collaborating across disciplines or transferring decades of legacy data, Designcenter Solid Edge gives you the tools to stay connected, accurate, and in control.
Advanced modules for simulation, CAM, and product configuration
The Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 suite includes optional modules that can be activated through value-based token licensing:
- Solid Edge CAM Pro: automatic machining, smart suggestions, and improved machine support
- Solid Edge Simulation: enhancements in meshing, quality checks, and visual results
- Design Configurator: automated product configuration with parametric rules
- Additional modules: Piping Design, DSTV Export, MBD, Automatic Drawings, Inspector
Advanced assembly management: more flexibility, less complexity
Managing complex assemblies has become easier. You can now create multiple display configurations without duplicating files, allowing you to switch quickly between views for design reviews or documentation.
Advanced part-copy tools simplify precise geometry reuse, while new exploded-view options help break down assemblies for clearer communication and planning.
These updates provide greater flexibility and control, enabling faster and more efficient work from concept to production.
Solid Edge CAM Pro automates CNC programming with intelligent, user-behavior-based suggestions, automatic hole machining, and machine-limit awareness, ensuring optimal execution on the shop floor.
Create smarter sheet metal parts and design better components
From precise part modeling to preparing sheet metal for production, the new enhancements enable faster and more confident design. You can create interlocking joints in seconds using tab-and-slot automation. Generate thin-walled features quickly with integrated wall-thickness controls built into the main modeling commands.
Expanded support for engraving and smarter flange trimming simplify detailing and improve manufacturability. And with the new Fill Pattern tool, you can easily apply repeated features to surfaces—whether you’re simulating textures or reducing weight.
Step inside your design for an entirely new perspective
With the new Walkthrough command, you can navigate assemblies as if you were physically inside them, using your keyboard, mouse, or even an Xbox® controller. Explore large models from a first-person perspective, capture fly-through paths, and reuse them in animations or stakeholder presentations.
Whether you’re reviewing complex layouts or showcasing your work, Walkthrough turns every design review into an engaging, interactive experience—without the need for additional tools.
Avaiable versions: choose the configuration that best fits your needs
Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 is available in three modular versions:
- Standard: solid modeling, assemblies, sheet metal, 2D drawings, and cloud workspace
- Advanced: reverse engineering, generative design, cost analysis
- Premium: simulation, electrical routing, point cloud
The versions can be expanded with VBL tokens to activate additional features as needed
