Publisher's Synopsis
SOLIDWORKS 2020 Learn by doing introduces new users to mechanical design using SOLIDWORKS and how it can be used to create a variety of models. In fourteen tutorial based chapters, the author guides you through all the necessary commands and options in SOLIDWORKS 2019, from sketching to parametric modeling and finally ending with rendering. The commands are presented one step at a time using simple examples. The approach used in this book helps you to become a skilled SOLIDWORKS user.SOLIDWORKS 2020 Learn by doing begins with introduction to basic modeling. The later chapters focus on additional modeling, top-down assemblies, sheet metal modeling, drafting, surface modeling, mold tools, weldments, Model-based dimensioning, Appearances, and SimulationXpress.
