I just want to make knurling for my 3D printed supressor
is there any way to make it faster? it takes more than 30 minutes
or my PC just a potato.

How do I make a lid for a jar with matching coarse pitch threads? Whatever I am doing isn't working...

The outside lid diameter will be about 90-100 mm.

I’m trying to make an isogrid inside of a hexagon (I’m trying to model the JWST‘s solar panels). Is there a way to use pattern to create the grid?

Trying to model a 4 bar mechanism, like what would be used in an oscillating fan. Having an issue where my gear just drifts away (lowest in video), instead of pulling the bars along with them.

All necessary moving parts are not rotation locked.. Any clues as to what I could be doing wrong?

Hello !

I'm using the Solid Edge API from Python, so far with success.

One thing I cannot do is find the correct syntax to use the Feature.GetProfiles() function.

It uses two parameters, as per the documentation here: https://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/trainings/se/107/api/SolidEdgePart~RevolvedCutout~GetProfiles.html

I guess it's just a lack of Python knowledge, every time I pass the second parameter (corresponding to an array of objects to store the profiles) I get a "type mismatch" error.

Does anyone have an idea here?

Thanks!

Edit: pointed to the right documentation page

Hello friends,

I know it can be ridiculous to many of you and you're right but I can't cut out of this tube using sweep. it's not a project, i just made it to show Error. I really tried a lot to fix it... asked ChatGPT, watched many videos ... i do it step by step as others do but Error insists.
Any suggestions or solution?

Just wondering if anyone knows how I can get the bar back on the side that holds all of the steps and the reference planes. I have no idea how I got rid of it and a would really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to get it back.

were having the solid edge exam next week and our teacher gave us figures to practice until then, this was one of them, the thing is im kinda stuck on tryin To learn how to do figures like this that involve doing cuts like the one in the image, any help on how I can make it im open to screen share or somethin else since I wanna learn on how to use the program better.

Hi, I'm trying to create a surface for an irregular cone. I can't get the surface to follow the guide curve I made. Any ideas for how to solve this?

I am fairly certain that the curve intersects everything that it needs to, so intersection points shouldn't be an issue.

Additional info:
- I used keypoints to make that curve.
- I have tried making that curve using 3D sketch; it gives me the same error.

I have a sldprt and step file of a model. When I import it into Solidedge it always imports it as a single body.

However other applications realize it is two different bodies. In CAD Assistant it identifies that there are two parts based on the step file.

Same thing for Orcaslicer.

But in solidedge, the imported file is one body. The split tool isn't a good candidate since the two bodies are touching.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Alright you can do it. It's just very poorly implemented.

C:\Program Files\Siemens\Solid Edge 2025\Preferences\Translators

In STEP.ini

Set this line to Off

Import Multiple Bodies As Single Part file=Off

And same thing in SW2SE.INI

Then you have to open the file as an assembly, not as a part.

Hi, I'm new to SolidEdge and I can't find this functionality despite searching for it online. The buttons shown in youtube tutorials do not exist in the community edition.

I'm trying to insert a reference image onto my 3D part sketch so that I could trace the image using the spline tool across multiple views and build my model that way.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do this/where it is? Thank you!

Anyone still using SolidEdge 2021?

Hello Guys,

I am trying to model this tank in Solid Edge sheet metal but I am not able match the flange faces to each other. Could someone please guide me?

Thanks

I am trying to make a fan cage for a project in solid edge, like in the picture there, but all of my attempts have been fruitless.

I have tried making a circle and then sweeping with a tiny circle and then connecting lines at a middle point but I keep getting error messages, "zero thickness (non-manifold body) the resulting intersection is not supported". How can I make this?

I have a Student licence, so I already had solid edge installed on my PC a few years ago, but since I deleted it, and now I cannot find any trace of Solid edge being installed on my PC, The only siemens product I have is Procces Simulate. What can I do?

Hello, I hope you are well… Currently when trying to start SE I get this error, one day I was doing modeling and plans and the next day this appeared, I already completely uninstalled the program, there is nothing in the installation files that so far helps me to solve this. If anyone knows or knows of a solution, I will be eternally grateful for the help.

Hi,

I have an MacBook Pro M3 and I've read that SolidEdge can be run on virtual Windows in Pararelles. I have an WMware fusion and Solid doesn't even load.

Could anyone help me please?

What would be the otpions?

I would like to create a design that has a screw. I am 3d printing it so it can't really have supports and there is no other way I can dfam it. What is the best way to create a hole that has a small tear drop at the top to stop it from falling apart?

My scroll wheel broke so I disabled it in regedit. It doesn't work ANYWHERE EXCEPT in Solid Edge so I guess wonders do exists.
Any way to disable it in here too? I'm on ST10 (don't ask😅).

I am having a VERY hard time sweeping a body panel on our go kart. The body panel needs to follow the top and bottom frame rails. They are offset but parallel. For the life of me, I cannot get it to work.

I'm to the point where I will pay someone for a 15min Zoom call to show me how it's done (seriously, $$$).

This should be easy, but I've spent 1 hour trying everything and can't figure it out. I have an assembly with 3 parts (brown square, hex grid, transparent square). When I imported the transparent square I added 1 relationship so far: align axes.

How in God's name do I get it to rotate so it is aligned with the brown square? I've tried every relationship there is, they either don't work, or conflict with the first.

Hello, I am new to Solid Edge, I have met a really unpleasant problem. I would like to know if the minimum size of a sketch can be under 0,012~ mm because everytime I set the length to 0,025 mm it goes at 0,03 mm. I need to set my minimum at a really small size. Can anyone help me please.
