This document provides an overview of the 3D CAD software SolidWorks. It discusses that SolidWorks is used by students, engineers and designers to create both simple and complex parts, assemblies and drawings. It then outlines the various modules of SolidWorks including sketching, part modeling, sheet metal bending, assemblies and drawings. Finally, it discusses some of the common commands in SolidWorks like line, circle, extrude as well as its applications in industries like aerospace, automotive and machinery design.

2. INTRODUCTION
SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-
aided design and computer-aided engineering
computer program that runs primarily on
Microsoft Windows. While it is possible to run
SolidWorks on MacOS, It is not supported by
SolidWorks. SolidWorks is published by
Dassault Systems.

3. SolidWorks for:-
 Solidworks is used by students , designers, engineers and others
professionals to produce simple and complex part, assemblies and
drawings.
 Designing in a modeling package such as a solidworks is beneficial
because because it saves time, efforts, and money that would
otherwise be spent prototyping the design.
 Solid works is a full parametric software.

4. SolidWorks UI:-

5. Module’s of solidWorks:-
 Sketcher
 Part Modeling
 Surface Molding
 Sheet Metal (Bending Allowance, k-factor)
 Welding (structural member)
 Assembly (static or Dynamic)
 Detailing & Drafting
 Animation (motion)
Stress Concentration

6. View Orientation:-
 Front
 TOP
 Side view
 Right view
 Isometric
 perspective
 Orthogonal

8. PART:-
 The first, and most basic element of a SolidWorks model is a Part.
 Parts consist of primitive geometry and features
such as extrudes, revolutions, lofts, sweeps, etc.
 Parts will be the building blocks for all of the
models that you will create

9. ASSEMBLIES:-
 The second component is the assembly. Assemblies are collections
of parts which are assembled in a particular fashion using mates
(constraints).
 Any complex model will usually consist of one, or many
assemblies.

10.  Before you start creating sketches you must select plane or face where the
sketch will be place on.

11. DRAWINGS:-
 The third, and final component in SolidWorks is the Drawing.
 A drawing is the typical way to represent a 3D model such that any
engineer (or manufacturer) can recreate your part.
 Drawings are important because they provide a standard way of
sharing your design.

12. Advantages of SolidWorks:-
 Simple to learn & to create 3D models.
 Ability to make change in design at any stage.
 Give realistic view of product.
 Helps customer to easily understand the product.
 Ability to import data, translate it & store it securely.

13. Command's of solidWorks:-
Line
Circle
Arc
Resolved
Resolved cut
Extruded
Extruded cut
Sketch
Fillet
Chamfer

14. Application of SolidWorks:-
 The Solidworks have wide range of applications in industries
such as
 Aerospace
 Automotive ( Engine like piston ,cylinder block etc.)
 Machinery
 Mold & Tools design
 Sheet metal work
