Solid Edge ST4 Model Relationships 02
Horizontal / Vertical 3D Model Relationships
A new 3D model relationship in Solid Edge ST4 lets users apply horizontal or vertical relationships between geometric key points. Typical uses are to make faces centered about other faces, or make key-points or faces horizontally or vertically aligned to others. The example here illustrates how a hole was centered about an adjacent face. Because edits in synchronous don’t need to follow creation rules, holes can “push around” features created prior. After application of the relationship, the holes location can be edited where the adjacent face grows to maintain the centering. The real power is users don’t have to pre-plan design intent as it can be established to completed models, and this relationship can be added to imported models.
