Solid Edge 2019 for Designers, 16th Edition

Book excerpt: Solid Edge 2019 for Designers book introduces the readers to Solid Edge 2019, one of the world's leading parametric solid modeling packages. This book consists of 15 chapters structured in a pedagogical sequence, covering the Part, Assembly, Drafting, and Sheet Metal environments of Solid Edge 2019. Both Synchronous and Ordered environments are discussed throughout this book. In this book, 3D Sketching is also discussed in both Synchronous and Ordered environments. 3D Sketching combines the speed and flexibility of modeling with precise control on dimension driven designs, thereby providing tremendous productivity gains over traditional methods. Additionally, in this book, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling and editing techniques that enhance the productivity and efficiency of the users. Also, chapters are provided with tutorials that are created using the commands discussed in the chapter. This approach allows the users to use this book initially as a learning tool and then as a reference material. Salient Features: Consists of 15 chapters that are organized in a pedagogical sequence. Comprehensive coverage of Solid Edge 2019 concepts and techniques. Hundreds of illustrations for easy understanding of concepts. Self-Evaluation Tests and Review Questions at the end of the chapters to help the users assess their knowledge.
