Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018 Introduction
Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018 and video instruction is written to
assist students, designers, engineers and professionals. The book provides a solid
foundation in SOLIDWORKS by utilizing projects with step-by-step instructions for the
beginner to intermediate SOLIDWORKS user featuring
machined, plastic and sheet metal components.
Desired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for
each project. The book is divided into five sections
with 11 projects.
Project 1 - Project 6: Explore the SOLIDWORKS User
Interface and CommandManager, Document and System
properties, simple and complex parts and assemblies,
proper design intent, design tables, configurations, multi
sheet, multi-view drawings, BOMs, and Revision tables
using basic and advanced features . Additional techniques
include the edit and reuse of features , parts, and
assemblies through symmetry, patterns, configurations,
SOLIDWORKS 30 ContentCentral and the
SOLIDWORKS Toolbox.
Project 7: Understand Top-Down assembly modeling and
Sheet Metal parts. Develop components In-Context with
InPlace Mates, along with the ability to import parts using
the Top-Down assembly method. Convert a solid part into
a Sheet Metal part and insert and apply various Sheet
Metal features .
