Solid Edge 2021 for Designers book introduces the readers to Solid Edge 2021, one of the world's leading parametric solid modeling packages. Consisting of 15 chapters, the book covers the Part, Assembly, Drafting, and Sheet Metal environments of Solid Edge 2021. Both synchronous and ordered environments are discussed throughout this book. Also, 3D sketching is 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. The author emphasizes on the solid modeling and editing techniques that enhance the productivity and efficiency of the users. In addition, chapters have tutorials and exercises that are based on the tools discussed in the chapter to help users initially learn the tools and concepts and then understand their practical usage and working.
