Basic Solid Edge ST Tutorial

Introduction

This tutorial introduces you to the Solid Edge Part environment and various feature-based modeling techniques, such as:
1. Drawing and dimensioning profiles
2. Using geometric relationships
3. Constructing and editing features
4. Ensuring model symmetry and stability
The tutorial does not demonstrate everything Solid Edgecan do. Its purpose is to show you how powerful and intuitive the modeling environment is, and to get you started so you can learn more on your own.
During this exercise, you will construct the model shown in the illustration above.

Select Units and Type of Operation

The first tasks are to change the units to millimeters, and type of operation available. The standard units used with thedefault installation of Solid Edge are ISO (millimeters), but some installations may have used ANSI (inches) instead. If so, you need to change to millimeters for this tutorial. Once you have started execution of the Solid Edge program in Windows, you will see a screen similar to the one shown below. If the options in Create are the ones shown, you will need to make two changes before you canstart the tutorial. If the option Traditional ISO Part is available, select it and go the next part of this tutorial labeled Start the Extrude command.

Otherwise, select the icon in the upper left corner of the screen, which will bring up the following window.

Select the Solid Edge Options at the bottom of the screen which will bring up the following window.

Within thiswindow, select User Profile, then use the down arrow next to User type and select Traditional and Synchronous. Select OK. This will change the start up screen to be the following, which will allow you to select “Traditional” part construction.

The next step is to change the units to ISO. Select the icon in the upper left corner and then select New as shown.

This will bring up thefollowing window.

Within this window select More and then iso part.par and then OK. Now you can start the construction of the model.

Select the Extrude command

On the command menu, along the top of the Solid Edge application, choose Home tab>Solids group, and select Extrude to start the Extrude command.

An Extrude command bar is displayed on the left side of the application:

The Extrude command, like all the feature-creation commands in Solid Edge, uses a command bar to guide you through the feature construction steps without limiting you to a strict linear workflow—you can move back and forth among the steps as you work.
The prompt in PromptBar displays instructions for completing the currenttask. The reference plane option that is displayed in command bar on your computer may be different than the illustration. In the next step, you will set the proper option.

Prepare to construct the base feature

The first step in drawing any new part is constructing a base feature. The base feature defines the basic part shape that you modify to construct the finished part. You will use theProtrusion command to extrude a 2-D profile along a straight line, creating a 3-D feature as show below.

In the next step, you will select a reference plane on which you will draw the profile. For this feature, you will draw the profile on a reference plane that is coincident to one of the three base reference planes.
On the Protrusion command bar, in the Create-From Options list, select theCoincident Plane option.

Select a profile plane

Move the cursor to the edge of the horizontal reference plane shown in the illustration. Click when the plane is highlighted.

What is the profile plane for? The profile plane is a 2-D surface you draw profiles on. When you select a profile plane, Solid Edge reorients the profile plane parallel to the computer screen so you...
