The document introduces the term design and SolidWorks software. It defines design as providing suitable solutions to problems by simplifying them. Design involves human expertise, skills and knowledge to modify surroundings to meet needs. SolidWorks is a 3D parametric and associative CAD tool developed by Dassault Systèmes used for product development. It utilizes features, parameters and associative relationships in design. Skills required for design jobs include engineering domain knowledge, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFA, DFM, simulations and 3D modeling software proficiency. The document provides examples of SolidWorks sketching, part modeling, assembly and drafting functions.

5. Challenges
 Stiff competition
 Tight Budget
 Design failures
 Manufacturing wastes
 Faster time to market
 Adherence to global standards

6. Current Trends
 Goodbye to 2D
 Design products; not modeling
 Better products, first time
 Less manufacturing wastes
 Global standardisation
 Fool proof data management system

7. SOLIDWORKS
BY:

8. SOLIDWORKS
• “SOLIDWORKS is a 3D, feature based,
parametric, associative product development
tool.
 Developed & sold by - DS (Dassualt Systems) , France
 Founder of DS - Avions Marcel Dassualt
 First Release of SW - 1995

9. Feature Based
• Parts are created as combination of engineering
features
– Extrusion
– Revolve
– Holes
– Cuts
– Sweep
– Blend

10. Parametric
• Parent/Child Relations
• A child feature is one that references a
previously created parent feature
• A change in a parent feature may potentially
affect a child feature

11. Associative
• Workbenches are interconnected with each
other.
• Modification of any part in part modelling
workbench will automatically reflect in Drafting,
Assembly workbench etc.

12. Key functions
1. Computer-aided Design (CAD)

13. 2.Computer-aided engineering (CAE)
(Simulation)
•Kinematics
•Thermal analysis
•Structural Analysis (FEM)
•Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

14. Skills Needed for Design job
