MBD Using Modern GD&T
For good Model-Based Definition (MBD), you need proper Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). If you’ve dipped your toes into MBD, then you know the devil is in the details. GD&T and MBD experts will guide you through the What, Why, and How of Model-Based Definition and the right way to apply GD&T for MBD.SOLIDWORKS for MBD
Focus on how to use the SOLIDWORKS MBD module in a model-based environment. Apply the basics of Model-Based Definition (MBD) using the SOLIDWORKS tool set and discover how to create, use, and modify 3D semantic annotations. Practice with real-world examples to learn the most efficient methods to prepare models with MBD annotations for downstream digital consumption. SOLIDWORKS 2016 and up are supported.Creo for MBD
Focus on how to use the Creo Annotate Toolbar in a model-based environment. Apply the basics of Model-Based Definition (MBD) using the Creo tool set and discover how to create, use, and modify 3D semantic annotations. Practice with real-world examples to learn the most efficient methods to prepare models with MBD annotations for downstream digital consumption. Creo 4.0 and up are supported [please expect a slightly different UI if you are using a more recent version of Creo].NX for MBD
Focus on how to use the NX Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) Application in a model-based environment. Apply the basics of Model-Based Definition (MBD) using the NX tool set and discover how to create, use, and modify 3D semantic annotations. Practice with real-world examples to learn the most efficient methods to prepare models with MBD annotations for downstream digital consumption. NX 11.0 and up are supported.Inventor for MBD
Focus on how to use Inventor 3D Annotations in a model-based environment. Apply the basics of Model-Based Definition (MBD) using the Inventor tool set and discover how to create, use, and modify 3D semantic annotations. Practice with real-world examples to learn the most efficient methods to prepare models with MBD annotations for downstream digital consumption.Re-Use Your CAD
The Model-Based CAD Handbook

Ready to understand why Model-Based Definition (MBD) is so important to your organization? The second edition of Jennifer Herron’s book discusses how to bring your tools, processes, standards, and most importantly, the people who use MBD to match current industry practice. MBD is the foundation for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Industry 4.0, and creating digital twins.
