Developed by Australian design and technology education company Technically Speaking, for a limited time www.solidedgetutorials.com is offering free tutorials for Solid Edge versions 17 through 20. Three free tutorials range from the first video that teaches beginner users some of the basics of the software, to the last video, where the users learn more of the complexities of Solid Edge.
More specifically, the beginner tutorial is seven minutes long and is an excerpt from the full-length tutorial titled “Basics in the Part, Assembly and Draft Environment, Volume 1.” According to Cain Sanchez, industrial technology educator at solidedgetutorials.com, users will see how to use the Revolve Cut, Axis of Revolution, Includes, Trim, Circular Pattern and Mirror Copy tools. It will show users how to remove material from a model, make dynamic cut outs and mirror copy features.The intermediate 13-minute free tutorial is taken from the full-length versions of “‘Advanced Features in the Part Environment’ and ‘Fundamentals in the Sheet Metal Environment, Volume 2.’” Users learn about creating a game console and how to use the surfacing tool, Blue Surf. “Blue Surf allows users to create a surface by adding cross and guide curves. Users will also look at the powerful function of the dynamic edit tool to quickly and easily adjust the surface to the desired shape. This is combined with the Boolean subtraction tool to create a really interesting and ergonomic surface,” said Sanchez.
The third and most advanced tutorial is taken from the full-length video, “Fundamentals in the Assembly Environment.” The shortened, free version is five minutes long. Users are introduced to full motion simulation in assemblies. “This is a truly remarkable feature of Solid Edge that is quite complex to use effectively,” said Sanchez. Users will also learn about the Move Part tool to animate their moving parts.
The free tutorials are for anyone needing to learn more about Solid Edge, but specifically “cater for new users of Solid Edge who need to develop their skills in the program as well as users who might not be familiar with the wide range of features and environments in the program,” said Sanchez.The full-length tutorials are available for purchase on the Solidedgetutorials.com website. The three free offerings from the full-length tutorials will be available for viewing over the next few months. There is no direct instructor, but Sanchez encouraged users to submit questions via email to solidedgetutorials.com.
People who are interested in the free tutorials may sign up on the solidedgetutorials.com website, and soon after will receive an email with the tutorials. “Access to view the video tutorials is sent to their inbox. Users can choose to download the videos or start streaming straight away from a dedicated stream server,” said Sanchez. Users can also watch the videos as many times as they like.
For more information about the free tutorials or the full-length videos, visit www.solidedgetutorials.com. Technically Speaking is developing and will then be releasing tutorials for Solid Edge Synchronous Technology Version 21 in the near future, according to Sanchez.
