Duration: 3 days – (optional 4th day for Sheet Metal)

Version: ST4

Course Description

This course is designed to teach synchronous modeling to existing users of Solid Edge’s ordered or traditional modeling. Students will learn how to construct and edit models in the synchronous paradigm. They will also learn how to use integrated models (synchronous and ordered features together in the same part model) and how synchronous models can be used in assemblies.

Prerequisites

Here are the standard pre-requisites for the training course. Potential students should have completed the following prior to the class:

• Completed the Solid Edge Fundamentals class
• Have a good understanding of ST3 or ST4 ordered modeling.

Course Content

Course consists of;

• PowerPoint's to support the Instructor’s lecture.
• Instructor lead demonstrations.
• Independent practical activities to reinforce the lessons.
• Student and Activity manuals and support documents.
