The Introduction to Siemens Solid Edge software will enable you to learn basic design concepts in both 2D and 3D environments using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. The concepts include 2D sketches, basic shapes, 3D models, and simple assemblies. You’ll gain experience using commands such as extrude, revolve, rounds, blend, and thinwall to more efficiently design solid models. Additionally, you’ll learn about drafting concepts such as detailing, drawing view, section cuts, and design intent. Finally, you will learn how to rapidly edit CAD files imported from other software applications. This course provides an introduction to Solid Edge that will also help you to prepare for the Solid Edge Mechanical Associate certification exam.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
