SolidWorks 2014 for Designers

The SolidWorks 2014 book introduces readers to SolidWorks 2014, the world's leading parametric solid modeling package. In this book, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the users. The book consists of 20 chapters followed by student projects. The chapters are structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes the book very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software. The SolidWorks 2014 book covers topics such as Sketching, Part Modeling, Assembly Modeling, Drafting, Surface Modeling, Blocks, Sheet Metal Design and Equations, Configurations, and Library Features of SolidWorks 2014.

Every topic in the book begins with a command section that provides brief information of the commands and tools that will be discussed under that topic. The authors have adopted the tutorial-point-of-view and the learn-by-doing approach throughout the book. This approach allows the users to use this book initially as a learning tool and later as a reference material. After reading the book, the users will be able to create parts, assemblies, blocks, drawing views with bill of materials, and also learn the techniques that are essential for designing multiple models of similar geometry with ease.
