The goal of this course is to teach you how to build multibody and complex shape solid models using SolidWorks mechanical design automation software. Most of the case studies and exercises in this course are taken from industrial type applications, and the lessons primarily center around working with solids. Surfacing functions are covered in depth in the Advanced Surface Modeling course.
Prerequisites
- Mechanical design experience
- Completion of either the Introduction to SolidWorks or SolidWorks Essentials course
- Experience with the Windows operating system
Topics
- Lesson 1: Multibody Solids
- Lesson 2: Sweeps
- Lesson 3: Lofts and Splines
- Lesson 4: Other Advanced Tools
Session Fee: $795
The tools for modeling complex shapes in SolidWorks 2008 are quite robust and feature rich. During this course, we will cover many of the commands and options in great detail. However, it is impractical to cover every minute detail and still have the course be a reasonable length. Therefore, the focus of this course is on the fundamental skills, tools and concepts central to successfully building multibody and complex shape solid models. You should view the training course manual as a supplement to, not a replacement for, the system documentation and on-line help. Once you have developed a good foundation in basic skills, you can refer to the on-line help for information on less frequently used command options.
