Goal Seek

  Training Objectives

Solid Edge’s Goal Seeking capabilities allow you to combine the excellent parametric capabilities of Solid Edge with 2D sketches in order to easily visualise your design and efficiently calculate your desired design parameters.

Goal Seek capabilities will let you perform what if calculations by finding a target value in an engineering calculation. You are able to define critical parameters and vary other factors in order to arrive at your desired design goal. The fact that the Goal Seeking tools automatically iterate the dimensional values means that all the hard work is done by Solid Edge which enables you to arrive at your design goal quickly and easily. For example you might have a sequence of belt pulleys and need to adjust one of the pulleys into a location that gives you a desired belt length. Once these parameters are fed into the Goal Seek tools – Solid Edge will do the rest.

This Solid Edge video tutorial will cover how to use the Goal Seek tools in both the 2D and 3D environments.
