This video demonstrates how Model Based Definition in Solid Edge enables the production of a complete digital definition of parts and/or assemblies using 3D models. Model-based definition reduces the need for traditional 2D drawings because the information required for manufacturing is included in the 3D model. Instead of relying on the traditional method of supplying a 3D model with a 2D drawing that must be interpreted, model-based definition conveys geometric information and annotations in a

The Variable Table in Solid Edge sports a familiar spreadsheet layout and can be used to define and edit functional relationships between the variables and dimensions of a design. Using the variable table also allows you to link values from an Excel spreadsheet to your model dimensions, by just copying and pasting. Check out this new Tips and Tricks video to learn how to use Excel and the Variable Table to drive CAD dimensions in Solid Edge. | Designcenter Solid Edge
