I like the information about modern direct modeling trends. :) Deelip, many product development companies are seeing the benefits that approaches like explicit modeling and direct modeling can bring to their product development process.

You need to “qualify” to receive the Solid Edge DVD, whatever that means. Then someone will come personally to give it to you. Obviously, Siemens or its resellers cannot send people to every Tom, Dick and Harry's place. So, not any and everyone can get access to Solid Edge. Moreover, Kenneth is a member of the CAD media. What more “qualification” do you need?

Anyone can pick up SolidWorks or Inventor just by going through the tutorials. What is do different with Solid Edge?

I understand that for doing advanced stuff, you may need training. But just to get a hang of the product (first impressions), the tutorials are more than enough.

Fact is, Siemens PLM is rather strict about who gets access to its software. Whereas I (or anybody, for that matter) can simply download a trial version of Inventor Fusion or Alibre Design and start writing about the experience, it's not so with Solid Edge or NX with Synchronous Tech.

I'm highly impressed by what I've seen of Synchronous Tech in product briefings and demonstrations, but not being able to personally run the software limits what can say about the software.

Come to think of it, maybe I should do a comparison of a few features of the three mid-range MCAD systems. Probably thrown in Alibre Design as well. I need to find the time to do all that first.

I'm just an SE user. :-) These articles (ST) were written more than 1 year ago. :-( I think SE offer a good technology, but you never compare it to other products.

Anyway I like to read these posts and comments!

Do I hate Siemens PLM? No way. I love them. My company has been a Solid Edge Voyager Partner for years and developing add-ins for Solid Edge. Maybe you missed my series on Synchronous Technology (http://www.deelip.com/?p=192).

As far as NX is concerned, I have asked Siemens PLM for access to the product. But somehow that has not happened till date. Not exactly sure why.

Do you hate Siemens PLM?

You never write about Solid Edge ST2 or NX! :-(
Do you boycott these products?
