Fundamentals

Here are all the Solid Edge Fundamentals training videos. This course will give users a good understanding of Solid Edge covering - sketching, part modelling, sheet metal, assemblies, drawing creation and revision management.

Exploring Solid Edge – Fundamentals

The purpose of this module is to introduce you to the Solid Edge interface and its different environments. You will learn how to create, save and open different Solid Edge document types as well as manipulate the 3d model with the viewing tools.

Solid Edge Modelling Overview – Fundamentals

The purpose of this module is to introduce you to the basic process of constructing a 3D parametric solid model. You will learn how to evaluate the basic shape of a part which helps in deciding which tools need to be used in order to construct it's geometry as well as which reference planes are best used in order to control the parts orientation and take advantage of symmetry.

Reference Planes – Fundamentals

The purpose of this module is to introduce you to the different reference plane types in a Solid Edge part model and how they are used to aid the construction of sketch and profile geometry.

Sketching – Part One – Fundamentals

The purpose of this module is to introduce the concept of sketches and look at how they are used to generate 3D geometry. You will also learn about the different drawing tools, The use of IntelliSketch, profile / sketch manipulation tools and the use of construction geometry.

Sketching – Part Two – Fundamentals

The purpose of this module is to continue looking at the sketching tools available in Solid Edge and cover the different dimension commands, geometric constraints and Relationship Assistant.

Sketching – Part Three – Fundamentals

The purpose of this module is to continue looking at the sketching tools available in Solid Edge and build on the concepts covered in the first two sessions. This time you will learn how to define a formula between different sketch dimensions as well as drive a Solid Edge design using an Excel spreadsheet.

Part Modelling – Part One – Fundamentals

The purpose of this video tutorial is to introduce some of the part modelling tools and profile based features. You will learn how to use some of the more basic features such as extrude and revolve along with their options. As well as the helix, loft and sweep commands. The unique Solid Edge concept of open profiles will also be introduced and you will learn how to edit parametric features.

Part Modelling – Part Two – Fundamentals

The purpose of this second Solid Edge fundamentals part modelling session is to carry on looking at profile based features. You will learn about some of the more specialized features and super features such as holes, ribs, web networks, and mounting bosses amongst others.

Part Modelling – Part Three – Fundamentals

The purpose of this third Solid Edge fundamentals part modelling session is to introduce treatment features. You will learn how to add rounds, chamfers, draft angles, thin walls, threads and more.

Part Modelling – Part Four – Fundamentals

The purpose of this forth and final Solid Edge fundamentals part modelling session is to introduce the concept of reusing features and geometry. You will learn how to use the tools to perform Patterns, Mirror, Cut / Copy and Paste, Feature Libraries and Insert Part Copy.
