In Detail
The purpose of Beginner's Guide to
SolidWorks 2010 is to help readers learn the basic concepts of
SolidWorks and good solid modeling practices in an easy to follow guide. It is
intended for the new SolidWorks user, users with experience in different CAD
systems, and as a teaching aid in classroom training. After completing the
exercises in this book, the student will have a good understanding of the SolidWorks interface and the most
commonly used commands for part modeling, assembly and detailing by
completing a project designing all the components, their 2D drawings and
assembly drawing with Bill of Materials. The book is focused on the processes to
complete a certain task, instead of focusing on individual operations, which are
generally simple enough to learn. The author has strived hard to include the commands required in the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) test as listed on the SolidWorks website
as well as many additional commands readers will find important.
