SOLIDWORKS

INSPIRED TO DESIGN

SOLIDWORKS (ORIGINALLY SOLIDWORKS) IS SOLID MODELING CAD (COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN)

SOFTWARE THAT RUNS ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS AND IS SINCE 1997 PRODUCED BY DASSAULTSYSTÈMES
SOLIDWORKS CORP., A SUBSIDIARY OF DASSAULTSYSTÈMES, S. A. (VÉLIZY, FRANCE). SOLIDWORKS IS
CURRENTLY USED BY OVER 2 MILLION ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS AT MORE THAN 165,000 COMPANIES
WORLDWIDE. FY2011 REVENUE FOR SOLIDWORKS WAS 483 MILLION DOLLARS.
COMMANDS IN SOLID WORKS
• LINE • LOFT: LOFT ISUSEFUL FOR BUILDING A SURFACE THROUGH DISSIMILAR PROFILES OR
BOUNDING A FOUR SIDED SHAPE USING THE OPTION OF GUIDE CURVES.
• RECTANGLE
• RIB • FILL: FILL IS A “CATCH-ALL” FOR AREAS THAT CANNOT BE DEFINED USING LOFT AND SWEEP. IT
SHOULD BE THE ONLY CONSIDERATION WHEN NEEDING TO “FILL” 3 SIDED OR 5 OR MORE
• SWEEP SIDED AREAS.
• SLOT • BOUNDARY: IT IS MUCH LIKE LOFT EXCEPT THAT IT DOES TREATS THE FIRST AND SECOND
DIRECTIONS EQUALLY. LOFT PROFILES HAVE INFLUENCE OVER THE GUIDE CURVES WHICH
• RELATION SOMETIMES PRODUCES UN-PREDICTABLE AND UNDESIRED BEHAVIOR. IT ALSO CAN MATCH
• RE-DESIGN ADJACENT SURFACES CURVE CONTINUOUSLY ON ALL SIDES.
• CONTROL • FREEFORM: IT IS FOR MODIFYING AN EXISTING SURFACE BY PUSHING AND PULLING ON IT
WITH CONTROL CURVES AND POINTS.
• EXTRUDE
INTERFACING TO SOLIDWORKS

INTERFACING PLANES:
• FRONT PLANE
• TOP PLANE
• RIGHT PLANE
EXTRUDE
ISOMETRIC PLANE
An extensive set of modeling tools for complex shapes
WHICH SURFACE FEATURE TO USE?
 Dissimilar or multiple profiles/Guides and
need it to be solid: Use Loft

 Similar profiles but change along length of

shape: Use Sweep

 Three or five or more boundaries: Use Fill

 For high quality surfaces-only and C2 in both

directions: Use Boundary

 For modifying surfaces dynamically and

without sketches: Use Freeform
BOUNDARY INTRODUCTION

FEATURES:
• UNLIKE LOFT, THERE IS NOT INFLUENCE OF CURVE DIRECTION 1 OVER CURVE DIRECTION 2.

• BECAUSE OF THIS C2 MATCHING CAN BE APPLIED TO ALL SIDES.

BOUNDARY INTRODUCTION

FEATURES:
• CAN CREATE SURFACES
WITH ONLY 1 CURVE IN
EACH DIRECTION
