In this Solid Edge ST9 Tutorial we will describe how to build the model of a ‘Gimlet’. How to cutting thread along with sketch profile on the cylindrical surface and taper cylindrical surface (Part1) by sweeping a cross section along a helical path with ‘Axis length & Turns’ and ‘Taper by Angle’ option by using ‘Helical Cutout’ command. It is a part modelling and assembly modelling tutorial, first of all create a ‘Gimlet’ and afterward create a Handle in context of an assembly with the help of ‘Create Part In-Place’ command.

In part modeling topic we will learn about basic sketching, Extrude Boss/Base Feature, Extruded Cut, Revolved Cut, Chamfer, Helix and Spiral Curve, Swept Cut etc. From Assembly modeling section we will learn about Beginning a new assembly with a previously created component, Inserting additional components, Move with Triad Command, Application of Mates etc. Addition to this some detailed topics like creating Global Variables and using them over sketches and 3D Features, relating two features with equations, using previously created sketches in the current files etc. So let’s start the tutorial and watch everything in action……..
Transcription
Creation of Bolt…
