SolidWorks 2009 Tutorial with Multi-media CD is targeted
toward a technical school, two year college or four year
university instructor/student or industry professional that is a
beginner or intermediate user who is looking for a step-by-step
project based approach with an enclosed 1.5 hour Multi-media CD.
The book covers the SolidWorks User Interface and
CommanadManager, Document and System properties, simple machine
parts, SimulationXpress analysis, simple and complex assemblies,
design tables, configurations, multi-sheet, multi-view drawings,
BOMs, Revision tables using basic and advance features, and a
section on the Certified SolidWorks Associate CSWA program with
sample exam questions and models.
Follow the step-by-step instructions and develop multiple assemblies that
combine over 80 Extruded machined parts and
components. Formulate the skills to create, modify and edit 2D
sketches and 3D features. Learn the techniques to reuse
features, parts and components through symmetry, patterns,
copied components, design tables and configurations. Learn by
doing, not just reading!
Desired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for each
project. Know your objectives up front. Follow the step-by-step
procedures in Project 1 - 5 to achieve your design goals. Work
between multiple documents, features, commands and custom
document properties that represent how engineers and designers
utilize SolidWorks in industry. Note: Project 6 provides a basic
introduction into the curriculum and categories of the Certified
SolidWorks Associate CSWA exam.
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.
Their responsibilities go far beyond the creation of just 3D
models.
