In Detail
Parametric Modeling with SolidWorks 2010 contains a series
of fifteen tutorial style lessons designed to introduce SolidWorks 2010, solid
modeling and parametric modeling techniques and concepts. This book
introduces SolidWorks 2010 on a step-by-step basis starting with constructing basic
shapes all the way through to the creation of assembly drawings and motion analysis.
This book takes a
hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important Parametric Modeling
techniques and concepts. Each lesson introduces a new set of commands and
concepts, building on previous lessons. The lessons guide the user from
constructing basic shapes to building intelligent solid models, assemblies
and creating multi-view drawings.
This book also covers some of the more advanced features of
SolidWorks 2010 including how to use the SolidWorks Design Library, basic motion
analysis, collision detection and analysis with SimulationXpress.
The exercises in this book cover the performance tasks
that are included on the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) Examination. Reference
guides located at the front of the book and in each
chapter show where these performance tasks are covered.
