What do you want to know? Choose one of the functional areas below to go directly to the help article that best explains how to do something. This gateway content is curated especially for you if you are new to QY CAD, or if you just want to get started with a new capability in your CAD product development lifecycle.

• Mechanical & Electrical Design, for example:

  • Solid Models: Part, Sheet Metal, and Assembly

  • Mesh Models: Scan or import, reverse-engineer, generate optimized shapes, and 3D print

  • Electrical Systems: Wiring and harness design, diagrams, and nailboard drawings.

  • Process Design: Piping, Tubing, and Hoses

  • Fabrication and Welding: Structural frames, Weldments, and Standard Parts

• Simulation, for example:

  • Validate the physical operation of your assembly.

  • Analyze structural or thermal integrity with Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

  • Analyze the flow of fluids and gasses on your design with computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

  • Explode, animate, and render photo-realistic images.

• Manufacturing & Technical Publications, for example:

  • Document your design with Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and 3D sections.

  • Generate detailed drawings with parts lists.

  • Use computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to program machine tools.

  • Publish illustrated work instructions, operations manuals, and parts catalogs.

• Cloud Ready:

  • Install cloud-enabled QY CAD on your local device, and access it from anywhere using any device.

  • Share your project for review and markup in Xcelerator Share.

• Document Management:

  • Managed—Use the Teamcenter Integration for QY CAD (SEEC). Find tools for preparing your unmanaged documents for import into Teamcenter.

  • QY CAD data management—You can use the default QY CAD data management if you are not licensed for Teamcenter.

  • Unmanaged—You are not licensed for Teamcenter, and you choose not to turn on Solid Edge data management.

  • Track project requirements in managed or unmanaged.
