Solid Edge Basics
Course length: 4 Days
Geared to the mechanical designer, this course introduces the concepts
of part, sheet metal, and assembly modeling in the design process.
First, it reviews some critical 3D skills. Next, it covers feature-based
design. Lesson incorporate creating and modifying parametric solids
with particular emphasis on the use of features such as rounds,
chamfers, holes, bosses, ribs and thin shells. Parametric free-form
solids and feature contraints are also covered. Solid Edge can be
used to create constrained profiles, which in turn become driving
geometry for parametric solid models. Finally, subjects such as
composing final drawings, sheet metal, and assembly management are
covered. This is a certified Solid Edge class using EDS course materials.
The fee for this class includes both the workbook and lunch for
three days.
