Our Challenge
Design challenges to be solved
Design and model a sheet metal enclosure in the context of an assembly
How Solid Edge meets the challenge
Solid Edge is the best solution for modeling sheet metal parts. Thesynchronous tools and
process specific sheet metalcommands make modelingsheet metal parts quick andeasy in Solid Edge!

Hands-on Sheet Metal Modeling
Pulling Flanges from the top level
In Solid Edge ST5 you can drag flanges fromthe assembly level on synchronous sheet metal parts
Switch to Face Priority (CTRL + Spacebar)
Select the four thickness faces to drag all flanges at once
After selecting the first face, press the spacebar for add/subtract mode
No need to hold down theCTRL or Shift keys to multi-select
