As the name suggests, in the Learning SolidWorks 2011: A Project Based Approach textbook, the author has adopted a project-based approach to explain various concepts and tools of SolidWorks. A single project has been divided into different chapters to make the users understand the concepts in a better way. In this textbook, the author has used a motor cycle model as the real-world project. After reading this textbook, you will be able to create various components of a motor cycle and then assemble them to develop the complete model of a motor cycle. Once the model has been developed completely, you will learn how to generate the drawing views. This unique method makes the learning process simple and effective for both the novice as well as the advanced users of the software.

Written with the tutorial point of view and the learn-by-doing theme, the textbook is ideally suited for learning at your convenience and at your pace. Moreover, each tutorial is supported by relevant textual description to make the process of learning easy and interactive.

After completing this book, you will be able to design any component, develop assemblies, and generate the 2D drawings of parts and assemblies along with Bill of Materials. Additionally, you will be able to apply concepts and learning the techniques that are essential for designing multiple models of similar geometry with ease.

Some of the Salient Features of this textbook are as follows:

The first page of every chapter summarizes the topics that you will learn in it.

Step-by-step explanation of each concept is provided to make the learning process easy and interactive.

The textbook covers all major modes and tools of SolidWorks.

A large number of screen captures and line diagrams have been used throughout the textbook to facilitate understanding of various concepts.

Additional information is provided throughout the textbook in the form of tips and notes.

Self-Evaluation test, review questions, and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter so that the users can assess their knowledge
