Course Duration: 40 hours
Tuition: $2,200 US
Overview: Introduction to constraint based modeling utilizing the latest release of SolidWorks.
Week One: In our SolidWorks One Week Intensive Class participants are expected to learn proper modeling techniques to utilize drawings to aid in modeling, cross sections, and exploded views along with the basics of surfacing. See 4 Week SolidWorks Comprehensive
Projects: Model and detail a desk vice. If time permits we will also modify an existing assembly of parts with interference issues.
Prerequisite: Mechanical aptitude and a desire to learn SolidWorks.
Topics:
- SolidWorks sketch utilities including 3D curves
- Customize environment/map key development
- Creating features: Protrusions, Sweeps, Patterns, Shell and Draft
- Equations
- Detail drawings for documentation and assembly detail drawings complete with exploded views
- Use Modify and Redefine features
- Cover basic surfacing complete with Sweeps and Lofts
- Utilize Edit Feature and Edit Sketch
- Learn to edit parts (with certainty) that others have modeled
- Learn to use drawings not only to document models but as design tools for controlling snap fit and accuracy
- Assemblies with SolidWorks
Discussions:
- Discuss Edit Sketch plane
- Discuss systems options in detail
- Discuss editing parts others have modeled
- Discuss using surfaces by themselves and within parts
- Discuss several top down modeling approaches for developing products
- Discuss designing mechanisms complete with surface detection
