What does synchronous technology in Solid Edge allow for?

Synchronous technology in Solid Edge is designed to enhance the modeling experience by combining the advantages of both parametric and direct modeling techniques. This allows users to make design changes more flexibly and efficiently. By integrating these two approaches, users can take advantage of the strengths of parametric modeling, such as parameters, relationships, and constraints, while also enjoying the intuitive and rapid alterations offered by direct modeling.

For instance, in a scenario where a designer needs to modify a geometry that was initially created using parametric modeling, synchronous technology allows them to move faces or features without having to redefine the entire model, making the design process much more agile. This capability is particularly beneficial in fast-paced environments where design iterations are frequent and time-sensitive.

The other options do not accurately reflect the capabilities of synchronous technology. Exclusive use of parametric modeling would limit the flexibility that synchronous technology provides, while only allowing non-parametric adjustments would fail to leverage the powerful features of parametric design. Similarly, static designs that cannot be modified would contradict the very essence of what synchronous technology aims to achieve—dynamic and adaptable design capabilities.
