Understanding Synchronous Technology (ST) Part 1

20 December 2012 Alan No Comments
Parts, Synchronous Technology, Tips

This video shows that using mixed mode modelling (ST and Ordered) can improve the ability of being able to modify faces. Having rounds of varying sizes on a face can make it hard for ST to manage geometry, but placing these rounds into ordered can leave faces free of “clutter” leaving ST free to do

Sheet Metal, Synchronous Technology, Tips

Synchronous Technology can give big benefits in modelling sheet metal to allow you to quickly design  from the ground up and none more so that when some of your flanges are at an angle. I was asked recently how to have two flanges that were not at the traditional perpendicular (90°) measure the same from

Parts, Synchronous Technology, Tips

In this example, we will create a semi-circular groove on the circumference of a 50mm diameter shaft by revolving a circle as a cutout. The 50mm shaft is located at the centre of the coordinate system and the circle is placed on the x-y plane. Select the region created by the circle and move the

An Overview of ST and when to use Ordered

31 May 2012 Alan 1 Comment
Parts, Synchronous Technology, Tips

Synchronous Technology (ST) has been around for four versions now and people are still a little unsure of how and when to use it. With Solid Edge ST1 and ST2, users were forced into using either totally Synchronous or Ordered (Traditional) modes and, I believe, that this limited the use of synchronous technology to items
