Solid Works

SOLIDWORKS is 3D product design software that provides tools for parametric modeling, assembly creation, and 2D technical drawing, helping engineers move from concept to production. It allows users to design parts, simulate performance with finite element analysis and other simulations, create computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) instructions, and manage design data.

Intro To SolidWorks (Process)

Introduction to SOLIDWORKS

Objectives:

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

This is the Intro to SolidWorks process assignment. Through the SolidWorks 3d design process, I went through the process if creating a 3d model of a pressure plate.

Images on the right demonstrate the process of the 3d designing to create the pressure plate
