Solid Works

Process Pressure Plate

"SOLIDWORKS is used by millions of designers and engineers at hundreds of thousands of companies. It’s one of the most popular design and engineering software on the market. Known for its range of features and high functionality, SOLIDWORKS is used across multiple professions and industries around the world. SOLIDWORKS uses parametric design, which is why it’s such an effective tool for designers and engineers. This means that the designer can see how changes will affect its neighboring components, or even the overall solution. For example, if the size of a single component is increased, this would affect the joint or hole it’s attached to. This allows designers to spot and correct issues quickly and easily."

The lesson For this section "Introduction to SOLIDWORKS" is:

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

Mouse Gestures

In this tutorial, after customizing mouse gestures, you perform the following tasks with mouse gestures to create a simple part:

Start a sketch for a part.
Sketch a rectangle and a circle.
Save the sketch.
Dimension the sketch.
Extrude the sketch.
Change the view of an extruded part.

Fillets

In this lesson, you modify this knob part by:

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

Face fillet

Editing of the face

Constant Radius

A constant radius running straight down

Variable Radius

This textures the shape to have a wider base and end with a narrower bottom

Mirroring

This mirrors the shape so that it creates a symmetrical object
