Solid Edge Essentials

Description

The Solid Edge Essentials course covers modeling, assembly creation, and drafts. This class teaches users how to create and manage features, parts, assemblies, and ensuing drafts. Advance your ordered design skills while harnessing the power of Synchronous Technology!

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 nn-CAD users alike, including seasoned Solid Edge users as well as non-Solid Edge users.
