Solid Edge ST for Designers introduces the reader to Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology. With Synchronous Technology, Solid Edge redefines the rules for 3D modeling. It combines the speed and flexibility of modeling with precise control of dimension-driven design, thereby generating tremendous productivity gains over traditional methods. It is one of the world's leading parametric solid modeling packages. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling and editing techniques that enhance the productivity and efficiency of the user. This textbook consists of 16 chapters structured in a pedagogical sequence, covering the Part, Synchronous Part, Assembly, Synchronous Assembly, Drafting, and Sheet metal Design workbenches of Solid Edge ST. Every chapter begins with a command section that provides with detailed explanation of the commands and tools in Solid Edge ST. The command section is followed by tutorials that are created using these commands. This approach allows the user to use this textbook initially as a learning tool and then later use it as a reference material.

Following are the additional features of this book:
� Detailed explanation of Solid Edge ST tools
� More than 60 real-world mechanical engineering designs as tutorials and projects with step-by-step explanation
� Emphasis on Why and How with explanation
� Tips and Notes throughout the textbook
�  720 pages with heavily illustrated text  
� Self-Evaluation Tests, Review Questions, and Exercises at the end of each chapter
