 Introduction
 SolidWorks is 3D mechanical CAD program developed by USA
solidworks corporation.
 SolidWorks is a subsidiary of Dassault systems.
 Dassault System is the company behind SolidWorks
 SolidWorks provides engineers , designers and other creative
professionals design the world’s greatest products.
 SolidWorks is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive,
2
aerospace, consumer products, machinery.

 What SolidWorks can Do?
 Modeling: Modeling refers to the process of creating three-
dimensional (3D) virtual representations of objects or systems
within the SolidWorks software
 Simulation: simulation refers to the process of using virtual
testing and analysis tools to evaluate the performance of a
design under various conditions before physical prototypes are
built. 03/18/2024

 What SolidWorks can Do
 Visualization: refers to the process of creating realistic and

compelling visual representations of 3D models or assemblies.

 Load analysis: refers to the process of evaluating the

effects of external forces, pressures, or other loads on a 3D
model or assembly.

 Animation: animation is a feature that allows users to create

dynamic visual representations of their designs.

 Uses of SolidWorks
 Precisely turn creative concepts into 3D designs.
 produce simple and complex parts, assemblies, and drawings.
 Create the most ergonomic designs possible.
 Produce design iterations in less time.
 Reduce prototyping time and cost.
 Works with consumer data.
 Render highly detailed 3D designs.
