Getting Started Solid Edge Sheet Metal

To convert a solid part to a sheet metal part.

Getting started solid edge sheet metal.

The conversion process adds solid edge sheet metal attributes to the model so it behaves as though it was created using sheet metal features. Solid edge enables users to start a design from anywhere create a virtual prototype and have a new part ready when they need it. Create the solid part. Effortlessly create sheet metal models from 2d sketches and work directly with geometry.

When working with a sheet metal model imported from another application you should first use the convert to sheet metal commandin the sheet metal environment to convert the model to a sheet metal part. Click convert to sheet metal sheet metal toolbar or insert sheet metal convert to sheet metal. Develop sheet metal models with fewer steps. In this tutorial we will learn about the basics of solid edge software s sheet metal functionality by creating a model named cover.

In solid edge sheet metal modeling is easy. This includes looking at how flat patterns are now handled. To meet unique sheet metal design challenges like manufacturability solid edge streamlines the entire sheet metal product development process from cad design through flat pattern and drawing development. With synchronous technology in solid edge unlike in history based cad features can be edited independently.

The purpose of this solid edge st3 sheet metal update video tutorials is to look at the enhancements which specifically affect the sheet metal environment in st3. With the ability to design faster solid edge provides you the freedom to decide on a change when previously there might not have been enough time which means that speed in design can ultimately mean speed on manufacturing and delivery. Select use gauge table. In select table select a gauge table to use or click browse and browse to a gauge table.

The session covers how the new integrated modelling environment impacts working with sheet metal.
