Synopsis:

SolidWorks 2013 for Designers is a comprehensive textbook that introduces the users to SolidWorks, a feature-based 3D parametric solid modeling software. The textbook covers all major environments of SolidWorks and provides a thorough explanation of all tools, and options, as well as their applications to create real-world products. About 48 mechanical engineering industry examples are used as tutorials and an additional 48 as exercises to ensure that the users can relate their knowledge and understand the design techniques used in the industry to design a product.

After reading the textbook, the users will be able to create parts, assemblies, drawing views with bill of materials, and learn the editing techniques that are essential to make a successful design. Also, in this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the users.

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

Consists of 19 pedagogical sequenced chapters covering the Sketching, Part Modeling, Assembly Modeling, Drafting, Surface Modeling, Blocks, Sheet Metal Design and Equations, Configurations, and Library Features in SolidWorks.
