Unlock the full potential of SolidWorks with our comprehensive course designed to cover the entire product development lifecycle. This program, ideal for engineers and designers, provides hands-on training in both fundamental and advanced modeling techniques, from interface navigation to complex assembly creation and animation.
Course Modules:
Introduction to SolidWorks:
- Navigate the user interface: Menu Bar Pull Downs, Command Manager Tabs, Feature Manager Design Trees, Heads Up View Toolbars
- Learn tips and search for help effectively
Part Modeling:
- Basic sketch tools: defining sketch planes, drawing tools (Line, Rectangle, Circle, etc.)
- Sketch relations and rules: under defined, fully defined sketches, adding and deleting constraints/relations
- Sketch modifications: fillet, chamfer, trim, extend, offset, mirror, patterns, move, copy, rotate, scale, stretch
Basic Part Modeling:
- Features: Revolved Boss/Base, Extruded Boss/Base, Convert Entities, Share Sketch, Mirror, Fillet, Chamfer, Extruded Cut, Revolved Cut, patterns, Sweep Boss/Base, Swept Cut, Lofted Boss/Base, Lofted Cut, Shell, Hole Wizard, Draft, Warp
Advanced Part Modeling/Editing:
- Edit, hide/show sketches, suppress/unsuppressed features, rollback, reorder features
Part Evaluation:
- Measure tool, mass properties tool
Creating Assemblies:
- Create new assemblies, insert components, add mates, pattern and edit components, add appearance/material, change scenes, assembly-level features, create exploded views
SolidWorks Animation:
- Rotate model, revolve animation using camera and path, animation for exploded/collapse views, bolt animation, render and workflow
SolidWorks Drawings:
- Create drawings and layouts: standard views, model view, projected view, auxiliary, section view, detail, broken-out section, break, crop view
- Annotations: changing drawing scale, adding centerline and center mark, edit sheet format, adding notes, annotations, dimensions, bill of material
- Drawing tips: break, reassignment, alignment, show/hide drawing lines, zoom, pan, rotate
- Final project guidelines
By the end of this course, you’ll be proficient in creating detailed 3D models, assemblies, animations, and technical drawings, enhancing your design capabilities and efficiency in SolidWorks.
