EX. No. 01 INTRODUCTION TO SOLID EDGE
Date:

Solid Edge, a product of Siemens, is one of the world’s fastest growing solid modeling
software. Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology combines the speed and flexibility of direct
modeling with precise control of dimension-driven through precision sketching, region selection,
face selection, and handle selection. Solid Edge ST4 integrates the synchronous modeling with
the traditional modeling into a single environment. It is an integrated solid modeling tool, which
not only unites the synchronous modeling with traditional modeling but also address every
design-through-manufacturing process.
In Solid Edge, the 2D drawing views can be easily generated in the drafting environment
after creating solid models and assemblies. The drawing views that can be generated include
orthographic views, isometric views, auxiliary views, section views, detail views and so on.
The user can use any predefined drawing standard file for generating the drawing views. The
user can display model dimensions in the drawing views or add reference dimensions whenever
he wants. The bidirectional associative nature of this software ensures that any modifications
made in the model is automatically reflected in the drawing views.
To make the design process simple and efficient, the software package divides the steps
of designing into different environments. This means, each step of the design process is
completed in a different environment. Generally, a design process involves the following

Steps:

 Sketching by using the basic sketch entities and converting them into features or parts.
These parts can be sheet metal parts, surface parts or solid parts.
 Assembling different parts and analyzing them
 Generating drawing views of the parts and the assembly. Solid Edge supports data
migration from various CAD packages such as IDEAS, AutoCAD, Mechanical Desktop,
Pro/E, Inventor, CATIA, and NX documents. As a result, all files and documents created
in this software into a Solid Edge document.

Solid Edge Environments

To reduce the complications of a design, this software package provides you with various
design environments.

a. Part Environment
This environment is used to create solid as well as surface models. The part environment
consists of two environments namely Synchronous Part and Ordered Part. Synchronous is the

14
default environment in ST4. In this environment, there is no separate environment to draw
sketches; rather the sketching tools are available in the Synchronous Part environment itself.
b. Assembly Environment
This environment is used to create an assembly by assembling the components that were
created in the Part environment. This environment supports animation, rendering, piping, and
wiring.

c. Draft Environment
This environment is used for the documentation of the parts or the assemblies in the form
of drawing views. The drawing views can be generated or created. All the dimensions added to
the component in the part environment during its creation can be displayed in the drawing views
in this environment.

d. Sheet Metal Environment

This environment is used to create sheet metal components.

e. Weldment Environment
This environment enables you to insert components from the part or the assembly
environment and apply weld beads to the parts or the assembly. This environment is associative
with the part and assembly environment.

User Interface of Solid Edge

Prompt Line: If the user invokes a tool, the prompt line is displayed below the command bar.
This line is very useful while creating a model, because it provides the user with the prompt
sequences to use a tool.

Path Finder: The Path Finder is present on the left of the drawing area. It lists all occurences of
features and sketches of a model in a chronicle sequences.

Docking Window: The docking window is available on the left of the screen and remains
collapsed by default. It has different tabs on the top. These tabs can be used to activate the
feature library, family of parts etc.

Ribbon: The Ribbon is available at the top of the solid edge window and contains all application
tools. It is a collection of tabs. Each tab has different groups and each group is a collection of
similar tools.

15
Quick Access toolbar: It is available on the top-left of the title bar of the solid edge window. It
proves an access to the frequently used commands such as New, Open, Undo, Redo, Save and
Print.

Application Button: It is available on the top left corner of the solid edge window. It is present
in all environments. On choosing this button, the Application menu containing the options for
creating, opening, saving, and managing documents will be displayed.

Status Bar: It is available at the bottom of the solid edge window. It enables the user to quickly
access all the view controls like Zoom Area, Zoom, Fit, Pan, Rotate, Sketch View, View
Orientation, and View styles.

Quick Bar: It provides the command options for the active tool.

Radial Menu: Radial menu is a set of tools arranged radially. To invoke a tool from the radial
menu, press the right mouse button and drag the cursor. Keeping the right mouse button pressed,
move the cursor over the tool to be invoked. The user can add or remove tools from the radial
menu.

There are several tabs in the Ribbon that can be invoked in the part environment.

2 shaft Fe -410 w 2
3 Taper key Fe - 410 w 2
4 Hex.bolt Fe - 410 w 4
5 Hex.bolt Fe - 410 w 4

Description:
 A flange coupling usually applies to a coupling having two separate cast icon flanges. Each
flange is mounted on the shaft end and keyed to it.
 The faces are turned up at right angle to the axis of the shaft. One of the Flange has a
projected portion and the other flange has a corresponding recess. This helps to bring the
shafts into line and to maintain alignment. the two flanges are coupled together by means
of bolts and nuts. The flange coupling is adopted to heavy loads and hence it is used on
large shafting. The flange couplings are of the following three types.
1. Unprotected type flange coupling
2. Protected type flange coupling.
3. Machine type flange coupling.
4. In main type flange coupling, the flanges are forged integral with the shafts.

Commands used:
The following commands are used in the creation of components and assembly of flanged
coupling.
 Protrusion
 Coincident plane
 Cutout
 Revolved protrusion
20
  Revolved cutout
 Mate
 Axial align
 Panel align
 Trim

PROCEDURE:

1. Using sketch protrusion, fillet, contour and pattern command as flange is created.
2. Using sketch protrusion and cutout command shaft end is created.
3. Using sketch protrusion command a taper key is created.
4. Using sketch &protrusion command a hexagonal bolt is created. Similarly hexagonal nut
is created.
5. Using axial align, planar align command flange and shaft are assembled.
6. Using mate command, taper key is positioned.
7. This assembly is inserted twice in an assembly window and mated together by mate
command.
8. Bolts and nuts are assembled by using axial align and mate command respectively.

RESULT:

Thus the 3-D model of Flange coupling is generated Solid Edge software.

5 Shaft Fe 410 w 1
6 Body Cast iron 1

Description:
 When a long shaft is to be supported at intermediate points, bushed bearing are not used
due to their limitations. In such cases plummer blocks are used.
 In the plummer block bearing, the body is split horizontally along or near axis of the shaft.
This will enable to overcome the disadvantage of the bushed bearings.
 The bottom of the body is relieved leaving a narrow machined strip all rounds and it reduces
the extent of preparation and leveling of the bearing area relatively.
 Split bush is fitted in the body, the projecting snug of the split bush fits into the
corresponding hole drilled in the body. This prevents the rotation of the bushes along with
the shaft and axial movement of the split bushes are prevented by collars.
 After assembling a small clearance will be left between cap and the body. This clearance
enables to provide the necessary clamping grip.

Commands used:
The following commands are used in the creation of components and assembly of flanged
coupling.
 Protrusion
 Coincident plane
 Cutout

a small angle.
 The inclination is transmitted from one shaft to another.
 The main application of the universal coupling is found in the transmission from the gear
box to the differential or back axle of the automobiles.
 In such a case, we use two universal couplings. One at each end of the propeller shaft
connects the gear box at one end and the differential at other end.
 The universal coupling is also used for transmission of power to different spindles of
multiple drilling machine.
