A PWD file may also be a Solid Edge Weldment Document used by Siemens Solid Edge, a 3D CAD software application. It contains weldment designs and detailing assemblies of welded metal parts for manufacturing. Engineers and designers use these files to create, save, and load specific design details for various welded structures.
More Information
