Pro Cad Inc., of West Caldwell, N.J., is selling Solid Edge as its flagship product along with associated training, consulting services and a new series of independent Solid Edge books and training materials authored by Pro Cad's president, Walt Silva. "Choosing Solid Edge as our flagship product was an easy decision," said Silva. "It boiled down to four key advantage points: product momentum, ease of use, industry-leading modeling functionality and Solid Edge's complementary fit within the comprehensive mechanical CAD strategy of its strong parent company (Unigraphics Solutions). That combination provides a strong business case for Pro Cad's future." Silva, a 30-year veteran mechanical CAD designer, is also well known in the industry as the author of Doctor Walt's series of CAD books. In addition to selling Solid Edge, Silva plans to launch a series of Solid Edge books beginning in January 2000. Silva holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology Stevens is known for its rigorous engineering, science, and technological management curricula. Among the prominent research centers of Stevens is the Davidson Laboratory, Wireless Network Security Center, Keck Geotechnical Laboratory, Plasma Physics Laboratory, Nicoll Environmental . He has more than 30 years of industry experience in the design of plastic parts, molds and fixtures as well as machinery development. "Pro Cad's staff represents the type of strong technical resource that adds value to Solid Edge," said Bill McClure, director of the Solid Edge line of business at Unigraphics Solutions. "Walt Silva's dedication, experience and unique training skills enhance the experience mechanical designers have with Solid Edge. The combination provides the most productive mechanical CAD solution available in this market." The Solid Edge Advantage Solid Edge provides advanced 3-D part modeling, large assembly design and powerful drafting, as well as process-specific features for sheet metal, plastics and tubing design. Solid Edge is the ideal CAD solution for design engineers moving from 2-D drafting to 3-D solid-based design. With fully integrated 2-D and 3-D design functions, Solid Edge provides a risk-free path to solid modeling design techniques, while getting the most from existing 2-D CAD. The Solid Edge Voyager Program includes more than 130 downstream engineering software applications in such disciplines as finite element analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. , manufacturing, kinematics kinematics: see dynamics. kinematics Branch of physics concerned with the geometrically possible motion of a body or system of bodies, without consideration of the forces involved. and dynamics, electro-mechanical, rapid prototyping, standard parts, product data management, translation, view/redline/animation and hardware solutions.
