 SolidWorks
• SolidWorks is a 3D solid modeling package
which allows users to develop full solid
models in a simulated environment for both
design and analysis.

• In SolidWorks, you sketch ideas and

experiment with different designs to create 3D
models.
 About Cadd Center
 Cadd center was established in 1988 and it is the oldest institute in
India which gives training on AutoCAD and other designing
software's.

 The Head quarter of cadd center is located at Chennai Tamil Nadu.

Whose chairman & managing director is Mr. C.R Vaitheeswaran.

 There are more than 350+ centers in India and 12+ centers in other
countries like Nigeria, Malaysia, UAE, Singapore etc.

 Cadd center provides all facilities to students like study material,

good faculty, great environment , updated software's, life long
membership at a reasonable rate.
 SolidWorks
• SolidWorks is used by students, designers,
engineers, and other professionals to produce
simple and complex parts, assemblies, and
drawings.

• Designing in a modeling package such as

SolidWorks is beneficial because it saves time,
effort, and money that would otherwise be
spent prototyping the design.

 SolidWorks Components - PARTS
Before we begin looking at the software, it is important to
understand the different components that make up a
SolidWorks model.

The first, and most basic element of a SolidWorks model is a

Part.

Parts consist of primitive geometry and features such as

extrudes, revolutions, lofts, sweeps, etc.

Parts will be the building blocks for all of the models that you
will create
SolidWorks Components - Assemblies
• The second component is the assembly.
Assemblies are collections of parts which are
assembled in a particular fashion using mates
(constraints).

• Any complex model will usually consist of one,

or many assemblies.
 SolidWorks Components - DRAWINGS

• The third, and final component in

SolidWorks is the Drawing.

• A drawing is the typical way to represent a 3D

model such that any engineer (or
manufacturer) can recreate your part.

• Drawings are important because they provide

a standard way of sharing your design.
 SolidWorks – Let’s Begin
• By default, no file is opened automatically when you start
the program.
• To create a new file, click on File > New or click the New File
icon in the main toolbar.
• This will open the New SolidWorks Document wizard.
Creating a Sketch
First choose a main plane
from Feature manager
Tree

Sketch
Toolbar
Select Sketch on the main Feature
toolbar Manager
2-Click on Tree

Then choose the appropriate

geometrical command Front
from Sketch Toolbar Plane
 Feature Manager Tree
• This box displays all the
features of your part or
assembly.
• It also lists planes, axis,
• and Mating groups.
• To select the main
Planes(Front, Top, and
Right)
• To modify and see the
procedure of designing a
part, it has a dynamic
relation with area of
drawing
 Sketch and Feature Toolbars

• To create any Sketch (drawing ) use the sketch

toolbar.
• Feature Toolbar: this toolbar contains all the
functions for creating and manipulating 3D shapes
 Creating a Part
• Choose one of the Main planes to draw the Sketch
(Hint : Before creating a sketch you should choose a Plane or a
side of part)
 2D Sketch
• After selecting one
of the main plane,
click on a shape on
Sketch
Toolbar(Rectangle)
• Now, by clicking on
the design area and
move the pointer
you can draw the
sketch
 Adding Dimensions
• Use Dimension
Tool(click on
Smart Dimesion)
• Select the
entities to add
the dimensions
• Double click on
dimensions to
modify the
dimensions
 Dimensions
It is not required to add
dimension on sketch before
use them to create a Over defined Sketch
feature
• Fully Defiend Sketch: the
position of all entities are
fully described, and all the
entities are BLACK
• Under Defined Sketch:
additional dimensions or
relations are needed to
completely specify the
geometry, under defiened
entities are BLUE
• Over Defiened Sketch, an
object has conflicting
dimensions or relations, or
both. Over defined entities
are RED.
 Feature mode
• Now by clicking on Features on the main Toolbar,
switch to Feature mode

• Now the feature toolbar will be activated

 3D MIRROR

• 3D OBJECTS/BODY CAN BE MIRRORED USING

THIS SOFTWARE.

 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.
