Description
Solid Edge Fundamentals 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.
