Solid Mastermind Reveal The Secrets Of Solid Edge Surfacing

Solid Mastermind the community for Solid Edge professionals announce the immediate availability of online training video tutorials covering Solid Edge Surface Modelling. These sessions reveal the hidden gems of Solid Edge Surfacing.

Solid Mastermind’s online video training educates new and existing users how to use the surface modelling tools. Solid Edge is nowhere near as powerful as it can be without great training demonstrating how to use the product successfully.

Solid Mastermind’s Surfacing course teaches users how to take advantage of the flexible surfacing tools that solid edge offers. Equivalent to a 2 day classroom training course, the 7 sessions cover the following: An introduction to surfacing highlighting the differences between solid and surface modelling, 2D curve creation and editing, 3D curve creation with commands such as Keypoint Curve and Contour Curve, surface creation with commands such as BlueSurf and Bounded Surface, surface manipulation and surface / curve inspection tools. The course is then finished off with a session that illustrates the complete workflow from start to finish and uses an example model that combines the curve and surface tools that were covered in all the other sessions.

With the demands of the current economic environment, it’s not always practical to attend live training and some training courses are actually better when they are pre-structured and pre-recorded.

Solid Mastermind’s streaming video training sessions can be viewed at any time to suit any situation and can be replayed time and time again. Each video is enhanced by a downloadable goal sheet and in many cases sample files to be used in the tutorials and assignments. Quizzes test knowledge at the end of each session to ensure that the content has been understood.

Jon Sutcliffe Technical Director of Ingenea, the developers of Solid Mastermind, comments: “The surfacing tools in Solid Edge are often overlooked as they are not typically covered during fundamental training sessions. They are however, extremely capable and flexible at the same time. As good as these tools are, they are only useful if users know how to deploy them effectively. The video training courses we have developed for Solid Mastermind help users learn the surfacing concepts and workflows quickly and efficiently and at minimal cost. The added benefit with this kind of training material is that there is a superb reference library to look back on when additional help is required in the future. This is something that is very difficult to achieve with more expensive classroom based training”.

The Solid Edge Surfacing training material is included with every Gold and Platinum Solid Mastermind Subscription.
