The many uses of SolidWorks Software is enormous and covering all its capabilities in any single book, is quite impossible however most topics to get the Student/Design Engineer to understand the easy and simple approach to design, has been well explained. The Tutorials started by introducing the Student/Design Engineer to New tools and their location and uses. Examples of processes were explained step by step with loads of practical references and different approach to design covered.Topics that included, but not limited to, Sheet metal design, Weldments, Equations and Configuration, although new to most CAD students were explained in simple terms as basic as possible. By so doing everyone including the beginner would be able to have a feel for using the valuable pages in achieving various goals. After going through all the pages in this priceless book, the Novice will get to know new terminology of the Software and its uses, the Beginner will be comfortable with the migration from Basic Cad software to 3D Modeling; the Intermediate Student/Designer will cover Parametric design and equations; the Experienced user will be introduced to Customization of the Software; for an example Forming Tools design and the Advanced designer is challenged to the Final Project to explore all the limits and test parts with Linear Analysis utilizing Simulation Express and degree of freedom in special visualization. The Capability is Endless, Welcome Aboard

AutoCAD Analysis is divided into three different volumes. Volume I covers Introduction to AutoCAD together with Basic Commands. This Book is well suited for the Novice who has just come out of Board Drafting or anyone taking technical courses. This book is more of a hands-on approach to design with less theory. Most of the complicated terminologies have been broken down to simple terms. In this Module, the Student will be introduced to Basic AutoCAD program. The Volume covers topics that will include but are not limited to: Setting up Template, Limits, Utilizing Drawing tools, Formatting Tools, Editing Tools, Modifying tools, Setting up Objects, Dimensioning and Saving Drawings. This Book is written with Direct Instructions that could be used by an Instructor as a guide or the student as a gateway to AutoCAD. These series are my personal gift to the potential Student to help create better products that are environmental safe and friendly for all humanity. Welcome aboard!

This Book will set off a signal in your Mind, to enable you exploit your fullest potential in discovering the 'Can do and Wow' attitude already built in the fabric of your intelligence. There is neither right nor left approach to Design when using this book, but the correct and easier way in solving any problem. This Book is user friendly and fun to work with, enhanced with step-by-step approach to designing objects from 2D to 3D; from Lighting to Projection and Render; from Attributes to Blocks and many more. Knowing Microsoft Office together with keyboarding is required to be able to properly understand basic steps in AutoCAD functions. You will be introduced to short cuts and tricks of the Trade to make your approach to designing quicker and easier. This is more of a hands-on, industry required approach to drawing. You will become proficient in using AutoCAD Tools before you reach the Chapter on Intermediate AutoCAD. It does not matter what version is being used the Tools can be utilized with the keyboard through the steps from this Book. There is a How Do I? Section to answer everyday questions posed by students. Welcome aboard

The objective of this book is to help Students, designers as well as Engineers approach their work, on time and easy to accomplish. Not only will the designer have a step by step layout approach in drawing techniques with this book, I will guide the designer by holding his/her hand through the steps in order not to falter. The Designer will learn to produce 2D Sketches and use them to generate 3D Parametric-Based designs, which get updated automatically when dimensions change. Exercises are based on industrial Standards and real fully-functional parts.
