Siemens Solid Edge Training & Certification - Part 2 - 2021

Learn to create a symmetric draft with a 22-degree angle on a 100 by 55 rectangle, then apply round edges and thin wall hollowing, comparing draft to loft or sweep.

Create circular and rectangular patterns in Solid Edge by using the pattern tab, locking to the Z axis, setting counts and spacing, applying dimensions, and using suppression to control visibility.

Explore fill pattern options in the pattern command, creating a six-sided polygon with a center hole, switching to metric units, and trying pattern layouts like rectangle, staggered, and radial.

Master pattern along curve in Solid Edge by creating symmetric offset with width 30, extruding, drilling a 20 mm hole, and applying circular and curved patterns along the Z axis.

Learn to detach a feature, apply a 15 millimeter round to the top edge, then reattach the cutouts using the select command and mirror.

Demonstrates the lofted protrusion command in Solid Edge by lofting between aligned edges, tuning normal to section previews for a smooth blend, and applying thin wall settings.

Explore the loft command by applying live adjustments to a three circles setup on reference planes, locking to planes, and sculpting a wine glass loft and hourglass by thin walling.

Create a table using the loft round and thin wall commands by sketching squares, selecting the same corner for the loft to prevent twisting, rounding edges at 22, then hollowing.

Create a lofted ball by sketching, applying fillets and arcs, and using the loft command with twist and normal to s, then hollow with a thin wall.

Use the lip command on a thin wall, identify the inside edge, set a 1.5 by 1.5 lip, and push to remove material or add material for a fit.

Learn to create a twisted swept protrusion by sketching in the yz plane, applying 300 and 100 dimensions, adding 35 fillets, and enabling multiple-path cross sections.

Create a simple core and cavity in Solid Edge by copying a part, repositioning it, subtracting the middle block, and adding a lip on the edge with finish view.

Create a dimensioned box, rename dimensions to length and height, lock relationships so changes drive one from another, and use the variable table to edit sizes and set formulas.

Build assemblies by dragging parts from the parts library, and apply mate, planer line, and axial aligned relationships to create a complete 3D assembled model.

Open and modify a part from an assembly by editing in the part environment, sketch a 40 circle on the top face, extrude down 20, then return to assembly.

Open a new assembly, drag in the housing and fan blades from the library, and align their cylinders to complete the assembly.

Add motion to an assembly by spinning the fan blade around the center cylinder, simulate the motion, and save a high quality movie with a 360 degree limit and repeat.

In Solid Edge, the first part dragged into an assembly is automatically grounded; delete the ground relationship (right-click delete relationship) to free parts and allow proper placement.

Build a valve assembly using insert relationship, combining mate and axial aligned constraints, with flash fit, mirroring parts, and bolt pattern replication.

Explore using the align option with a floating plane to align a part face to a different plane, then adjust size and lock faces using the magic wheel.

Create an exploded view of a valve assembly using explode tools, render animated and green checkmark explodes, then adjust part positions and turn off flow lines for high quality image.

Create a beam engine assembly in a new metric assembly, drag parts from the beam engine folder, mate and align slider, rocker, cylinders, crank, and connectors, then run the simulation.

Use the center plane relationship to center two elements in an assembly. Align crankshaft, cylinder, and piston assembly, switch to double center plane, and verify 0.5 mm gaps.

Create an assembly motion for a hinge by aligning faces and cylinders, set a 180-degree rotational limit with a motor, and duplicate the timeline to mirror open and close.

Create a new assembly using a stepper to illustrate physical motion, align parts, and test motor movement; switch to physical motion to detect collisions and drive motion.

Maintain parallel motion in a Solid Edge assembly by adding a constraint that keeps a floating part parallel to its top face, preventing twists during simulation.

Explore the connect constraint in Solid Edge by assembling a base and bowl, attaching a ball to an inside face, and observing coordinated movement via free-hand drag.

Create a new part in place inside an assembly using graphic input, borrow circles to ensure correct size, extrude the piece, and adjust for realism.

Enable dynamic clipping to reveal cross sections, measure thickness, detect gaps and tolerances, adjust clipping planes, toggle on/off, and modify color and opacity while navigating the part.

Master assembly section cuts to view interior details. Use the front reference plane, draw a cut line, and apply cut selected parts to remove sections while the rest stays intact.

Create precise 2D drawings from a 3D model by adding multiple views and dimensions to reveal the full manufacturing details, placing front, side, and iso views.

Learn how to set and switch drawing standards in Solid Edge, choose third-angle or first-angle views, adjust ISO orientations, and place or separate 3D parts in the view wizard.

Explore auxillary views and how to create, cut, and detail drawings and drawing sheets in a metric model, using cutting planes, sections, and hidden-edge controls to improve dimensioning clarity.

Explore view updates and shading options within the master model, save changes to propagate to drawings, and manage colors and hidden lines while preparing to add dimensions.

Place an exploded view on a drawing sheet by exploding the model and saving a display configuration named explode five. Then update the view and apply color changes if desired.

Learn to generate a parts list from an assembly, customize columns, and update part properties—such as aluminum 10 60—to reflect in the draft file and assembly.

Use the magic wheel to manipulate 3d geometry in synchronous technology by selecting faces, dragging along axes, and rotating to create precise shapes and compound angles.

Open bulk, view from the front, select the part, and rotate it 90 degrees with the magic wheel, locking to the axis to move multiple features at once.

Work with foreign CAD data formats such as iges, parasolid, and step by opening and editing parts in solid edge using box pick and axis rotations.

Create a tool cutter using the magic wheel in solid edge, lock to the top face, rotate a face, and build compound faces, then add and modify dimensions.

Discover design intent, the relationship recognition in synchronous modeling that automatically locates relationships and uses smart dimensions, like locking at 50 during moves or rotations.

Explore design intent options in Solid Edge by applying symmetry, aligned holes, and concentric relationships to move and constrain circles and arcs within a sketch.

Use face relationships with the horizontal vertical face relate command and 3-D constraints to center a hole to an edge, keeping it centered independent of persisted or temporary design intent.

Use the tangent face relate command to keep a face tangent to a cylinder and arc, and apply concentric relationships to preserve design intent on the geometry rather than sketches.

Explore parallel face relate command and design intent in Solid Edge, adjusting faces in parallel, maintaining face area with the tip option, and using orthogonal to base and synchronous techniques.

Open DXF and DWG files in Solid Edge to convert 2D data into a 3D model using DSF geometry and region tools.

Convert AutoCAD 2D data to a 3D solid by extruding 2D drawings, selecting front and side views, applying metric units, and cutting features to form the final part.

Convert a 2D draft to a 3D part in Solid Edge by box-picking front, side, and top views, extruding, hollowing, and adding holes.
