SOLIDWORKS  

Course Description: 

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to SOLIDWORKS, a leading CAD software used in mechanical engineering and product design. You will learn how to create 3D models, assemblies, and technical drawings using industry-standard practices. The course covers parametric modeling, design automation, simulation, and manufacturing preparation, making it essential for engineers, designers, and students looking to improve their CAD skills. 

What You Will Learn: 

✅ Fundamentals of SOLIDWORKS – User interface, navigation, and basic sketching techniques. 

✅ Sketching & 2D Constraints – Creating precise 2D sketches as the foundation for 3D models. 

✅ Part Modeling – Designing 3D components using extrusions, revolves, lofts, and sweeps. 

✅ Assemblies – Creating multi-part assemblies, applying constraints, and understanding motion. 

✅ Technical Drawings & Detailing – Generating 2D engineering drawings with dimensions, annotations, and tolerances. 

✅ Surface Modeling – Working with complex geometries for advanced design applications. 

✅ Sheet Metal Design – Developing sheet metal parts with bends, flanges, and flattening features. 

✅ Weldments & Structural Design – Creating frame structures and using weldment tools. 

✅ Simulation & Analysis – Performing basic stress analysis (FEA) and motion studies. 

✅ Rendering & Visualization – Creating high-quality renders using SOLIDWORKS Visualize. 

Prerequisites: 

✔️ Basic understanding of mechanical engineering concepts. 

✔️ Familiarity with engineering drawings and design principles.
