SolidWorks

SOLIDWORKS is used to develop mechatronics systems from beginning to end. At the initial stage, the software is used for planning, visual ideation, modeling, feasibility assessment, prototyping, and project management. The software is then used for design and building of mechanical, electrical, and software elements.

Tutorial Training

Introduction to SolidWorks (Pressure Plate)

This lesson includes:

Creating base, boss, and cut features from sketches

Adding fillets to smooth edges

Creating a circular pattern

Adding drawing views

Adding centerlines, center marks, and dimensions to the drawing

Pressure Plate

This shows what the circular array will create on my part. Since I made one part, I can makes duplicates.

This is the final product!

SolidWorks Tutorial 1,2, & 3

This tutorial consists of:

Using different type of fillets
Creating a circular pattern
Adding drawing views
Creating an assembly file

This is the assembly as a whole

Underneath it is the two different parts before assembled.

This is the final product of the first part!

And this is he drawing view of the assembly as a whole

Fillets

This tutorial consists of:

Fillet Features

Adding different fillet types:
- Face
- Constant radius
- Variable radius
Using mirroring to assure symmetry
Applying a library feature

Final Product.

In this picture, it shows where the fillet will be

With the mirror feature, I can copy everything I did on one side to the other

Revolves and Sweeps - Candle Stick

This tutorial consists of:

Creating a revolve feature
Creating a sweep feature
Creating an extruded cut feature with a draft angle

here, you can see what the sweep shape would look like using the feature.

This is before I used the revolve so it not only mirrors, but makes a 3D shape.

This is what the candle stick looked like (with dimensions) before the sweep

Final product :D

Pattern Feature

This tutorial includes:

Creating an oblong cut

Creating a linear pattern
Creating a circular pattern
Using an equation to drive the circular pattern

Here, you can see the cut I made with the lines that I created.

In this picture, you can see that I use an linear pattern to create the cuts vertically. After the vertical pattern, I used the circular pattern to repeat it on all four planes.

This is the cuts before the circular pattern.

This is the final product :)

Loft

This lesson demonstrates:

Creating planes
Sketching, copying, and pasting the profiles
Creating a solid by connecting the profiles (lofting)
Adding a flex feature to bend the model

Here, I just created the first four planes and created the head.

Here, I am lofting by creating a solid out of another plane and the creation I had already made.

Here, you can see that I am bending the original shape. The original shape is the blue you see above the bent shape.

Final Product of Loft!

Nut and Bolt Assembly

This assembly consists of:

Creating threads
Creating an assembly that interacts with each other

In this picture, you can see the threads that will be added to the part.

This is the final picture of the nut part of this assembly.

Final video! Here, you can see the way the nut reacts when in contact with the bolt.

Assessments

Fillet Assessment

What is in this assessment: proof that I know how to use the fillet feature

Revolves and Sweeps Assessment

In this assessment, there is proof that I understand how to use the revolve feature and the sweeps feature.

Video of my cup

This is the sweep that has made the handle to the cup

This is my revolve that made my cylinder to make the cup. I after shelled the figure and gave it fillets for a clean look.
