Practical Work Session 1 : introduction to Solidworks

1. Introduction to the work environments:

SolidWorks is a powerful computer-aided design (CAD) software used by engineers, designers,


and manufacturers to create 3D models of parts, assemblies, and drawings for various
industries. Understanding the fundamentals of SolidWorks is essential for anyone looking to
pursue a career in engineering, product design, or manufacturing. Some foundational
concepts and techniques in SolidWorks will be discussed, including:
a) User Interface: Familiarizing yourself with the SolidWorks user interface, including the main
toolbar, feature manager …ets. Understanding how to navigate and customize the interface is
crucial for efficient modeling and design.
b) Sketching: Learning the basics of sketching in SolidWorks, including creating 2D sketches using
lines, circles, rectangles, and other sketch tools. Sketching forms the foundation for creating
3D models and allows you to define the geometry of your parts and assemblies.
c) Features: Exploring the various features available in SolidWorks, such as extrudes,
revolves, cuts, fillets, and chamfers. Features are used to add or remove material from
a part and shape its geometry according to your design requirements.
d) Assemblies: Understanding how to create assemblies in SolidWorks by assembling
individual parts together to form larger components or products. This section will be
explored in the upcomming practical work sessions.

3. Sketches:
To start a sketch, choose a plane and click sketch

4. Basic shapes:

❖ Create sketches of basic shapes: Lines, circles, rectangles, polygons.


❖ Adding relations: horizontal, vertical, parallel, coincide,merge …ets

5. Dimensioning sketches:
Adjusting or finding the dimensions of any sketch is a crutial task therefore understanding its
functionalities is a non trivial task.
