Solid Edge AI Logo

The AI boost for maximum performance and flexibility

Solid Edge 2026 is here - and brings with it an impressive combination of performance, flexibility and state-of-the-art AI technology. Under the guiding principle „Performance meets flexibility, powered by AI“ Siemens presents a version that is noticeably more productive, more intuitive and more future-oriented. We at Datasolid are pleased to present the most important innovations.

1. AI-supported automation: construction on a new level

Solid Edge 2026 gets serious about artificial intelligence - and shows how useful AI can be in everyday design.

Magnetic Snap Assembly

When inserting components, the AI automatically recognizes suitable connection relationships. This eliminates the need to manually define many constraints and allows you to build assemblies faster than ever before.

Automatic drawing

Up to 80 % of the 2D drawing views - whether orthogonal or isometric - are created automatically. This reduces routine work enormously and speeds up the path to the finished documentation.

Design Copilot

An integrated AI chatbot supports you directly in the design environment. The co-pilot understands the context and provides helpful answers, commands or suggestions in real time.

2. more productivity in assemblies and sheet metal constructions

There have also been significant improvements in day-to-day work with large assemblies and sheet metal parts.

Assembly management

  • New display configurations
  • Improved exploded views
  • More control over complex structures

Sheet metal parts

  • Automatic creation of tabs and slots
  • Intelligent trimming of flanges
  • Improved wall thickness control

3. immersive visualization: experiencing the model from a first-person perspective

With the new Walkthrough mode you feel as if you are walking through the digital model - just like in a video game.

  • Control via mouse, keyboard or even Xbox controller
  • Ideal for large installations, architectural models or presentations

Saved Flythroughs enable impressive sightseeing flights for customers or internal reviews

4. improved documentation & drawings

Documentation becomes smart and efficient:

  • AI-supported 2D documentation and automatic revision tables
  • Support for section views (PMI) in the 3D PDF
  • User-defined symbols and shaded decals in drawing views

This means that technical drawings can be created more quickly and still conform to standards.

5. modernized user interface & cloud integration

Solid Edge 2026 focuses on a modern, pleasant user experience.

  • New Dark Theme
  • Scalable SVG icons
  • Revised command bars
  • Cloud synchronization for personal settings

Siemens is also introducing a flexible Value-based licensing token-based and perfect for companies with varying tool requirements.

6 Designcenter X: Solid Edge as a fully-fledged SaaS solution

Solid Edge is now also available as a cloud version - with the full range of functions.

  • Browser-based working everywhere
  • Seamless integration with Teamcenter X
  • Version control, check-in/check-out and release workflows
  • Real-time collaboration with comments and markups

This makes access to CAD data more scalable and future-proof.

7 Data management & interoperability

Solid Edge 2026 attaches great importance to open interfaces and secure data exchange.

  • Import of architectural models (e.g. Revit)
  • Protection of intellectual property through geometry-only export
  • Direct DSTV export format for steel and sheet metal production
  • Integration to Elysium CADFeature for high-quality CAD data migration

Solid Edge 2026 sets new standards

Solid Edge 2026 is a milestone for design teams who want to work faster, more precisely and more collaboratively. Thanks to AI tools, cloud integration and a modern user interface, the entire product development process is made more efficient - from the initial idea to the final documentation.
