Feature modeling

Feature modeling is the process of constructing parts in Solid Edge. Two modeling environments exist for creating features. You can create a model using synchronous features only, ordered features only, or a combination of synchronous and ordered features.

You begin the modeling process in Solid Edge by constructing a base feature (1). You then complete the model by adding material to (2) or removing material from (3) the previous features.

If you use the same shape as the base feature for many parts, you may want to store it in a template so that you can reuse it easily.

Feature-based workflow

Solid Edge provides a feature-based modeling workflow for construction of features. A wide range of feature types are provided to making modeling parts easy and intuitive.

To speed the synchronous feature modeling process, two methods are provided for constructing features: feature modeling commands or the Select tool. In either approach, the instructions in PromptBar guide you through the feature construction process.

The ordered feature modeling process uses only the feature modeling command approach.
