Project 10: Comprehend the differences between additive and subtractive manufacturing. Apply design intent and intelligent modeling techniques in a sketch, feature, part, plane, assembly and drawing. Understand a general overview of SOLIDWORKS Simulation and the type of questions that are on the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Associate - Finite Element Analysis (CSWSA-FEA) exam. Project 8 - Project 9: Recognize SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Intelligent Modeling techniques.

Convert a solid part into a Sheet Metal part and insert and apply various Sheet Metal features. Develop components In-Context with InPlace Mates, along with the ability to import parts using the Top-Down assembly method. Project 7: Understand Top-Down assembly modeling and Sheet Metal parts. Additional techniques include the edit and reuse of features, parts, and assemblies through symmetry, patterns, configurations, SOLIDWORKS 3D ContentCentral and the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox. 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.

The book is divided into five sections with 11 projects. 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.ĭesired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for each project. It is also a great resource for the more CAD literate individuals who want to expand their knowledge of the different features that SOLIDWORKS 2018 has to offer.Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS 2018 and video instruction is written to assist students, designers, engineers and professionals. This book is for the mid-level user, who is already familiar with the SOLIDWORKS program. This book also features a Quick-Reference-Guide to the SOLIDWORKS 2018 commands, icons, and customized hotkeys. It uses a step by step tutorial approach with real world projects.

This book helps prepare you for the advanced features of SOLIDWORKS which are covered in SOLIDWORKS Advanced Techniques. SOLIDWORKS 2018 Intermediate Skills broadens your SOLIDWORKS knowledge base by covering such features as surveys, lofts and boundaries, the use of multibodies, generating engineering drawings and other SOLIDWORKS functions that are critical for the effective use of this powerful software. SOLIDWORKS 2018 Intermediate Skills is part of a three part series which builds on the SOLIDWORKS features learned in SOLIDWORKS 2018 Basic Tools.
