- 3. 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.
- 4. 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.
- 5. 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.

- 7. 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
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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.
- 10. 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.
- 11. Creating a Sketch First choose a main plane from Feature manager Tree Select Sketch on the main toolbar 2-Click on Then choose the appropriate geometrical command from Sketch Toolbar Sketch Toolbar Feature Manager Tree Front Plane
- 12. 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
- 13. 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
- 14. 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)
- 15. 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
- 16. Adding Dimensions • Use Dimension Tool(click on Smart Dimesion) • Select the entities to add the dimensions • Double click on dimensions to modify the dimensions
- 17. Dimensions It is not required to add dimension on sketch before use them to create a 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. Over defined Sketch
- 18. Feature mode • Now by clicking on Features on the main Toolbar, switch to Feature mode • Now the feature toolbar will be activated
- 19. 3D MIRROR • 3D OBJECTS/BODY CAN BE MIRRORED USING THIS SOFTWARE.

- #25: SolidWorks offers a number of versatile surface modeling commands, many of which can be used also for solid command to add or subtract material. Loft – is a surface feature that can build a surface between one or more profile of similar or dissimilar profile and additionally be guided by one or more guide curves. Boundary – Boundary is much like Loft, but is a surface only feature. Boundary treats the 1st (profiles) and 2nd (guide curves) curves equally with no preference in influence like loft. It also can do C2 matching in both directions. I has more control and options than Loft include connectors that can influence the internal shape and direction of the surface. Sweep – is used when the profile does not change topologically (same number of elements) but geometrically as in the case of lofting between a circle and an ellipse, sweep should be used instead. A sweep is a profile that is swept along a path. Furthermore, additional paths (guides) can be added to control the shape of the profile as it sweeps along the path. Shape is a “deformable husk” technology that was introduced to SolidWorks a few years ago. It gives the user the ability to pick a model face (it is not allowed for surface bodies) and “inflate” it using slider controls to control the inflate amount along with stretch and tension. When Fill was introduced in 2003, it replaced the usefulness of Shape and frankly surpasses it’s capability to produce like shapes with more control. C2 Fillets – Curve continuous fillets are included here because they truly are a powerful surface feature in the SolidWorks advanced modeling arsenal. They are achieved using a face-to-face fillet with the Curve Continuous option. Fill – is perhaps the most powerful and versatile modeling feature that SolidWorks has to offer. It can “patch” a hole that has any number of sides and make a tangent surface to those boundaries. In addition, you can further define the interior of the patch using a constrain curve/s. It is important to note that Fill’s tangent condition is slightly better than C1 although not good enough to achieve C2. Also, it does have limitations on how complex a patch it can fill and using more than two constrain curves usually results in unpredictable results. Planar – is simply a linear surface feature of any profile i.e. a sheet surface. Extrude and Revolve are similar to a solid extruded and revolve but are non-manifold single or multiple ruled surface/s. Both 2d and 3D sketches can be extruded into a surface or solid. Rule surface is a easy to create and convenient surface type that does not require a sketch but rather is built off of existing model and surface edges. I can be defined in a number of ways: tangent, normal, Perpendicular or tapered normal to a specified reference. Rule is especially handy as a reference surface to drive the tangency of other surfaces like Loft and Fill. Flex and Deform are “Global Shape Modeling” features that can globally bend, twist, stretch, taper and deform almost any existing surface or solid shape. What is particularly useful is that you can defined the area of influence using Trim planes to specify the area of deformation as well as, in the case of the bend option, define the bend axis and radius of bend. While Flex handles Bending, twisting, tapering and stretching, Deform uses a user-specified curves (initial and target) or points to guide the deform. Dome will place a convex or concave dome shape on any surrounding boundary. It can be placed on any linear or non-linear surface and can be copied and pasted from the windows clipboard to another face. You can also define it’s height or depth with a sketch point and the general direction of the surface with a reference axis. Freeform gives users the ability to deform a surface dynamically using on-the-fly control curves and control points.
- #26: It is important to understand the differences between the “big five” surfacing features. Loft is useful for building a surface through dissimilar profiles or bounding a four sided shape using the option of guide curves. Sweep is a very high quality and robust surface and should be considered when the surface definition is such that the topology does not change but the geometry does as is the case when morphing from a circle to an ellipse. Fill is a “catch-all” for areas that can not be defined using Loft and Sweep. It should be the only consideration when needing to “fill” 3 sided or 5 or more sided areas. Boundary is much like loft except that it does treats the first and second directions equally. Loft profiles have influence over the guide curves which sometimes produces un-predictable and undesired behavior. It also can match adjacent surfaces curve continuously on all sides. Freeform is for modifying an existing surface by pushing and pulling on it with control curves and points.
- #27: As I mentioned previously, Boundary treats the 1st direction and 2nd direction equally. Because of this, Curve Continuous matching can be applied to all sides.
- #28: Curve Influencing options in the Boundary Feature (and Loft too) are available to give the user selectable control over the different solutions that can result for bounding between curves. Depending on the 1st Direction Profiles, there can be many different solutions. These options are available to let the user determine which solution is the correct design intent. Now it is true that connectors can be used to offer the same solutions in most cases. This feature was put into Loft and Boundary as a result of comments by Ed Eaton in 2003, who wanted a better control the way lofts work.
