The document discusses computer-aided design (CAD) and outlines some commonly used CAD software programs like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Pro-E, CATIA, and ANSYS. It provides an introduction to SolidWorks, specifically comparing it to AutoCAD. It then covers various SolidWorks commands like modify, sketch and feature toolbars, designing a part using sketches and features, assembly, and creating drawings from parts and assemblies. The document serves as training material to introduce the capabilities and functions within the SolidWorks CAD software.

3. INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER DESIGNING
CAD:
The CAD stands for the computer design may be defined as the
computer system which helps in creation, modification, analysis and optimization.
Specifications sets include:
CAD Models
Drawings (Assembly, Detail, Stress Reports)
Bills-of-Material
Instructions:
•Manufacturing
•Assembly
•Maintenance
•Usage

4. SOME COMMONLY USED DESINING SOFTWARES
 AUTOCAD
SOLIDWORKS
PRO-E
CATIA
ANSYS
SOLID EDGE

5. INTRODUCTION
 This is a Powerful and User-friendly software to design
3D model of Mechanical parts and Assembly's,
Drawings to manufacture , analysis and so on.
 Its Initial release was in 1995
 Solidworks is currently used by over 2 million
engineers and more than 165,000 companies
worldwide.

7. COMPARISON
AUTOCAD
• Most prefer for 2-D modeling.
• Assembly cannot be done.
• Simulation test cannot be done.
• Sheet metal, weldments, mold tools
cannot be done.
SOLIDWORKS
• Prefer for 3-d modeling.
• Assembly can be done.
• Simulation test can be done.
• All can be done.

8. Modify commands:
 Erase
 Copy
 Mirror
 Fillet
 Chamfer
 Offset Entities

9.  Rotate
 Extend
 Trim
 Scale
 Zoom

10. The SolidWorks Model
The SolidWorks model is made up of:
 Parts
 Assemblies
 Drawings

11. Sketch and Feature Toolbars
To create any Sketch (drawing ) use the sketch
toolbar.
Feature Toolbar: this toolbar contains all the
functions for creating and manipulating 3D shapes

12. Design a Part
 Every part is composed of a
sketch and a feature
 1- Go to Sketch Mode and Draw a
2D sketch(sketch is a drawing that
it has no thickness like line, circle,
rectangle, arc,… )
 2- Go to Feature Mode, select
one of the appropriate commands
to create 3D model(such as Cube,
Cylinder, spring,…)

13. Extrude
 Extrude the
sketch
 1-click
Extruded base
 2-Set End
Condition to
Blind
 3-Set Depth to
10 mm
 Click OK.

14. Extruded Cut
 Click on Feature
 Click on
Extruded cut
(the preview)

15. Linear Radial Angular
Relations
Menu: Tools->Relations
Horizontal Vertical Collinear Perpendicular

16. SolidWorks Exercise
Click on the RIGHT vertical line, then hold down
the CTRL button. Click the left vertical line. You
should see a list of available relations that you
can add to BOTH line. Let’s choose EQUAL and
VERTICAL. Click the green check when finished.
Do the same thing for the top and bottom
horizontal line, except add a horizontal relation.

17. Sweep(create the x-section)
 Now draw
another sketch
as the X-section:
 Choose the Top
plane
 Draw the profile
in sketch mode
(cirlce)

19. ASSEMBLY
 3. Assembly Modeling
(1) Loading the Components
 Menu: Insert->Component
 ->Existing Part/Assembly

20. Defining Mates
 Menu: Insert->Mate

21. Drawing Template and Drawing Format
Menu: File->New->Draw0
