Steering Wheel basics
One of the fundamental tool inside the Synchronous Technology, is the steering wheel.
In this article you will explore the steering wheel basics
The steering wheel is an important element of the Synchronous design, it help you move and orient surfaces of your model.
Conditional formula
Add conditions to your design
New Virtual style answer in the question corner
Hello to all Solid DNA reader’s
Many of you have heard about the new Solid Edge Virtual Training coming soon, if not take a look at this preview page and spread the word around you, so people in the CAD business can experience training like nothing else before.
Conditional formula
For those who need to create conditional formula, i have place a document in the tutorials section.

New tutorial file
Hi all
Look in the tutorials section. I upload a tutorial about basic part creation under ST. I also answer a question how to move part body around the Base Coordinate System.
SEwST 2 keynote detail – hole alignment
This next article highlight one of the command see at PLM world, Hole alignment. This command came from a workflow develop under ST1 that make its way into a single command for ST2
Last PLM file presentation
Hi All
See the tutorials section for the last file relate to my presentation.
SEwST 2 keynote detail-Persistent symmetry and other
In the first release of Synchronous Technology symmetry was recognize by Live Rules when the part was model around the main plane.
If symmetry was need in a offset position we had to use the manual symmetry place in the advance Live Rules.
ST2 enhance the symmetry capability.
PLM World presentation file
I add another file tutorial from my presentation at the PLM World.
This will probably interest users and non solid edge users, has i show a part create in a linear way and non-linear way.

Update: DVD tutorials below can be order, but are replaced by Solid Edge Virtual Training
HI all
Has many request, a new version of the DVD tutorials showing the fluent interface and the Synchronous Technology is on it’s way.
Keep visiting the blog and spread the word.
I’ve been quiet these days has i prepare myself for the user conference and finish some professional obligation.
When return from the conference, i will look forward to post new stuff. If you have special things you would like me to write, send your request
Here two preview of the update DVD tutorials
New tutorial available
Check the tutorials section, a new tutorial regarding a concrete block with a drain at it’s center.

Variables table
At the heart of any design we can found an idea.
From that idea design intent is born
Design intent is then strip down to rules that are reduce to simple expressions or variables.
This is where the Variables Table takes its meaning.
In this article I will introduce in a depther way this essential tool need to create parametric model.

New Camera tutorial
Hi everyone
Sorry if i have taken long to post new stuff
Look in the tutorials section, a new one is available in three parts. I admit i was inspire by an external source.
https://soliddna.wordpress.com/tutorials/
Enjoy
Multiple solutions
I do not intend or pretend to resolve all problems with this article, but if I can give you some good guidelines to develop good practices, the travel will be less chaotic
Spherical ramp
Question ask thru newsgroup lead to this proposal to create some kind of spherical ramp.
Look in the Tutorials section, top right corner of the screen.
Hope you enjoy, if you have a different version just send it, will take a look.
Pattern traditional and Synchronous
In a recent discussion in a newsgroup, question was ask about hole alignment. Portion of the discussion where about placing hole in a circular pattern. So I produce a small video, this not answer all questions but give an idea of the concept.
The initial idea was to show a little bit more about Pattern. However, I realize interesting facts.
1- Word was spread that 2D cannot control 3D. So people reading about Synchronous where leaving with this impression. I confess I am part of this miss leading information. Especially where the 2D is move in the used Sketches bin, when we show extrusions. However, for pattern this is not applied.
2- I use more often pattern along a curve in ST.
Why?
Because the concept of procedural feature. Procedural feature inside Solid Edge is like an evolution of what we commonly call feature. Common procedural features are hole, shell and round. You can easily identified procedural feature, when select a small handle is available. By trying to reproduce this concept inside each of my actions, it seems easier to control a Synchronous model.
3-The build time of this simple part was roughly 30 percent less. 1:30 versus 1:00.
This is not the most rigorous scientific test ever, but I believe enough accurate to see the potential.
4- Users have the same controls and more flexibility when it comes time to apply changes on the part versus a traditional part, even if less constraint.
5- Has you see, this is done while evolving inside Fluent Interface….
Not bad for a first release. What could we expect in the next coming releases?
If you take time to read on the net those who blog about ST you can find interesting clue
«….Workflow — Here, I think the whole story wasn’t quite made clear. Yes, it’s true that history-based modeling and Synchronous Technology are quite different and you don’t mix and match the modeling styles within the same part design. But we DO allow and encourage mix/match at the assembly level – you can create models using either technology (both are included in Solid Edge even in the base package) and create assemblies of both types mixed. With the next release of Solid Edge, ST2, we will continue to expand this notion, allowing even more flexibility with assemblies with mixed part types. In general, you will continue to see us evolve and merge the two technologies to continue to leverage the best of each….»
«…Just in the modeling arena, they differ quite a bit in how they handle features (procedural features – a lot more on this coming in ST2) and dimension driven editing…»
