Description
Solid Edge Essentials course that covers 3D solid modeling, assembly creation, and drafts. This class teaches users how to create 2D parametric sketch designs which drive 3D feature-based models and then use those models in both ordered and synchronous environments, then using these parts to create assemblies and drafts.
Expectations and Goals
- To understand how to create a 2D parametrically constrained sketch
- To create a 3D model using sketch driven features
- Create a 3D model using Synchronous driven features
- Combine individual parts into assemblies and build a BOM
- Create a 2D draft file driven from part and assembly files
Intended Audience
Our Solid Edge Fundamentals course is inviting to both CAD users and Non-CAD users alike. This includes both existing Solid Edge users on older versions as well as CAD users on different software.
