Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS 2023: A Step-by-Step Project Based Approach Utilizing 3D Solid Modeling (17th Edition) – eBook

“Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS 2023” is a comprehensive resource tailored for students, designers, engineers, and professionals alike. This PDF ebook provides a solid foundation in SOLIDWORKS, featuring step-by-step projects for beginners and intermediate users. It covers a range of components, including machined, plastic, and sheet metal parts, with clear outcomes and competencies outlined for each project.

Structured into five sections and consisting of 11 detailed projects, the book begins with Projects 1 through 6, where readers will delve into the SOLIDWORKS User Interface and Command Manager, explore document and system properties, and tackle both simple and complex parts and assemblies. We will explore key concepts including design intent, design tables, configurations, multi-sheet and multi-view drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and revision tables, using both basic and advanced features. Additional techniques will focus on editing and reusing features, parts, and assemblies through symmetry, patterns, configurations, as well as leveraging resources like SOLIDWORKS 3D ContentCentral and the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox.

In Project 7, participants will enhance their understanding of Top-Down assembly modeling and sheet metal components, learning to develop parts in context with In-Place Mates and importing parts using this methodology. The project also covers converting solid parts into sheet metal designs, including the application of various sheet metal features.

Projects 8 and 9 introduce SOLIDWORKS Simulation and intelligent modeling techniques, providing insights into the SOLIDWORKS Simulation landscape and preparing readers for questions that may appear in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Associate – Finite Element Analysis (CSWSA-FEA) exam. Design intent and intelligent modeling will be applied across sketches, features, parts, planes, assemblies, and drawings.

Project 10 emphasizes the distinctions between additive and subtractive manufacturing, introducing essential 3D printer terminology and equipping readers with the knowledge to prepare, save, and print CAD models on cost-effective printers.

Finally, Project 11 reviews the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) program, detailing the curriculum, exam categories, and necessary model proficiency for exam success. The author blends personal industry experience with insights from engineers, managers, vendors, and manufacturers who use SOLIDWORKS daily, going beyond just creating 3D models.
