In this Learning SolidWorks 2016 training course, expert author Matt Perez will teach you about the tools and techniques needed for 3D surface and model design in SolidWorks. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no previous experience with SolidWorks is required.
You will start by learning how to customize the user interface, shortcuts, and templates. From there, Matt will teach you about sketching, including basic and advanced sketch entities, 3D sketch, and reference geometry. This video tutorial also covers modeling a machine part, a molded part, a sheetmetal weldment, and complex geometry. You will also cover topics including sketch editing, assemblies, visualization, configurations, and drawings. Finally, Matt will provide you with additional tips and tricks for working in SolidWorks.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned everything you need to know to create your own 3D models and drawings in SolidWorks. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
