SolidWorks 2013 for Designers

Rating:

This textbook introduces readers to SolidWorks 2013, the world's leading parametric solid modeling package. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the users. The textbook consists of 19 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 textbook covers topics such as Sketching, Part Modeling, Assembly Modeling, Drafting, Surface Modeling, Blocks, Sheet Metal Design and Equations, Configurations, and Library Features of SolidWorks 2013.

Every topic in the textbook 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 textbook. This approach allows the users to use this textbook initially as a learning tool and later as a reference material. After reading the textbook, 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.

    I teach SolidWorks and have been using SolidWorks since 1997. This is the best book that I have found for SolidWorks. This is perfect choice for teaching SolidWorks. Great reference book, I must say thanks to publisher for authoring such a great textbook.
