SolidWorks 2009

Introduce in 1995 as a low-cost competitor to CAD.

SolidWorks is a

parasolid-based solid modeler

utilizes a parametric feature-based approach to createmodels and assemblies.

SolidWorks Version History:- SolidWorks 1995 ~ SolidWorks 2011 (current)

Introductionto SolidWorks 2004

Getting started:-

Double click on the desktop for solidworks 2004icon or go to start >program>solidworks 2004

Dialog box appear. Consist of 3 selection of iconparts, assembly and drawing.

Parts:- design features or model

Assembly:- assemble different kinds of part toproduce another models

Drawings:- view through the models

Sketch 2D Drawing

Select sketch button :- Standard toolbars /command manager.

Choose types of sketch to draw.

Others types :- Tools>sketch entities

Use smart dimension to check or modify the

size Sketch tools:- use to modify the shape of the sketch

(Menu Toolbar:- Tools>Sketch tools)

Create 3D Drawings

3D drawing produced after the sketch made wasextruded or revolved.

The extruded and revolved icon can be found at the

features icon

Try to create a sketch of any shapes and extruded

or revolved it.

Assembly Basics

An assembly is a combination of 2 or more parts,also called components.

The purpose is to join a part to another to create anew models.

Create a part then save. Click new document thenmake another part and save.

Click new document and click assembly icon.

Go to Window and click title horizontally. Drag apart u need to at the assembly graphic area.

Click at the point to assemble and click buttonmate

Design tables are used to generate configurations in a part or

assembly file.

Feature dimensions and suppression states can be controlled in part

design tables.

Families of parts can be created and modified through single spreadsheet.

Must use Microsoft Excel with Solidworks to create tables.

Design Tables


18/24

Basic in Design Tables

Renamingfeatures and dimensions

Displayingfeature dimensions

Linking values of model dimensions

Verifyinggeometric relations Creating a design table

Displaying part configurations


19/24

Renaming features

It is good practiceto rename yourfeatures in your parts.This can saveanyconfusion incomplex parts.


20/24

Displaying dimensions

You can display or hide all the dimensions for all thefeatures of the part .

Then you can turn display of dimensions on and off

either individually or on a feature-by-feature basis.


21/24


22/24

Linking Values

Linking values is a way to control values that are not part

of a sketch, such as the depth of two extruded features.


23/24

Verifying Relations

Before you proceed , you should define some geometricrelations thatensurethatthe knob is positioned correctlywith respectto thecenter ofthe box, regardless ofthesize.

Relations add to the integrity ofthe designand theyareoftenthemosteffective wayto conveythe design intentaccurately.
