9781401878337: SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2004: A DVD INTRODUCTION

Synopsis

This systematic introduction into the use of SolidWorks (R) 2004 delivers all the information necessary for users to become proficient in designing parts, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings. The book and DVD work in conjunction to help users "see and do" their way to new solid modeling skills using the most current release of the software. Early units demonstrate how to construct three-dimensional models of designs, piece parts, and assemblies. From these models, users will learn to produce detailed engineering drawings that are fully annotated with notes and standard dimensioning practices. Learners will later become skilled at producing free-hand sketches of piece parts from both principal orthographic and isometric views of the object. Finally, users will create a self-directed or course-defined project consisting of the assembly as a solid model, the assembly drawings, and detailed drawings fully dimensioned and annotated as required for fabrication.
