Solid Edge Background information on Engineering Reference terms

For the Engineering Reference is there some background information available about the terms that are used inside the application for the input and the calculated values?  For example, in the bevel gear generator the terms "tooth thickness coefficient" and the "roughness factor" are used.

Solution

The Engineering Reference uses data from the various engineering standards to create the geometry.

If you need further background information on the various terms and what they mean then you should review the relevant engineering standard.

All of the standards used in Engineering Reference are documented in the Solid Edge Help system under each relevant section of the Engineering Reference help:
