Student Design Kit
A 150-day term license for
SolidWorks
Assembly Modeling with
SolidWorks 2008 comes bundled
with the SolidWorks Student Design Kit. The SolidWorks
Student Design Kit is a 150-day term-of-use license, and is
compatible with the SolidWorks Education Edition 2008-2009.
This textbook is compatible
with SolidWorks 2009. The next update will be for SolidWorks
2010. Starting in the Fall of 2009 Assembly Modeling with
SolidWorks 2008 comes bundled with the SolidWorks 2009
Student Design Kit. The SolidWorks Student Design Kit is a
150-day term-of-use license, and is compatible with the
SolidWorks Education Edition 2009-2010.
This is available for educational use only when ordered
through a school bookstore or department.
Note: This software is
available only to college/university bookstores and schools
located in the United States and Canada. Individual Sales to
students are not permitted. |
Assembly Modeling with SolidWorks 2008 is
written to assist the beginning SolidWorks user with a few months of
design experience to the intermediate SolidWorks user who desires to
enhance their skill sets in assembly modeling. The book provides a
solid foundation in assembly modeling using competency-based projects.
In step-by-step instructions, the book provides examples to:
- Start a SolidWorks session and to understand
the following interfaces: Menu bar toolbar, Menu bar menu,
Drop-down menus, Context toolbars, Consolidated drop-down
toolbars, System feedback icons, Confirmation Corner, Heads-up
View toolbar, CommandManager, and more.
- Set System Options and Document Properties as
they applied to a part and assembly template. Create new
SolidWorks folder locations: Document Templates, Reference
Documents, and Design Library.
- Download components from 3D ContentCentral
and rename and save components using SolidWorks Explorer.
- Apply the Bottom-up assembly approach with
two levels of configurations using the Configure component tool,
the Configure dimension tool, Design Tables, and the Add
Configuration tool.
- Create new parts based on component features
utilizing the Bottom-up assembly approach.
- Apply Standard Mates, SmartMates, and the
Design Library Toolbox.
- Apply the Top-down assembly approach with two
levels of configurations with In-Context components.
- Understand the following: Out-of-Context
components, External References, InPlace Mates, redefining and
replacing components and motion studies.
- Apply the Derived Feature Component Pattern
tool, Linear Component Pattern tool, and the Mirror Component tool
along with the Explode Line Sketch tool.
- Create a multi sheet, multi view assembly
drawing. Knowledge of Custom Properties in a part/assembly and
linked notes, with the ability to incorporate configurations of an
Exploded view, Bill of Materials, Revision tables, and more.
- Address the Layout-based assembly approach
and Link Values and Equations to control relationships. Each
project begins with the desired outcomes and usage competencies.
Explore assembly modeling techniques through a series of design
situations, industry scenarios, projects and objectives.
The book is a self-paced tutorial in a realistic
design setting. Complex models expose you to large assembly modeling
techniques. You focus on the design process while learning the
commands relative to assemblies.
To obtain the most from this text, you should be
familiar with the SolidWorks User Interface or other parametric
modeling software application. Your skill sets should include the
ability to create simple parts, assemblies, and drawings and
manipulate documents through the Windows operating system.
The authors developed the industry scenarios by
combining their own industry experience with the knowledge of
engineers, department managers, vendors and manufacturers. These
professionals are directly involved with SolidWorks everyday. They
create assemblies with thousands of components and drawings with
hundreds of sheets. Their responsibilities go far beyond the creation
of just a 3D model.
Initial and final models are provided on the CD
accompanying the book.
