SolidWorks 2014: A Tutorial Approach

SolidWorks 2014: A Tutorial Approach book introduces readers to SolidWorks 2014 software, one of the world's leading parametric solid modeling packages. In this book, the author has adopted a tutorial-based approach to explain the fundamental concepts of SolidWorks. This book has been written with the tutorial point of view and the learn-by-doing theme to help the users easily understand the concepts covered in it. The SolidWorks 2014: A Tutorial Approach book consists of 11 chapters that are structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes the book very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software. The book covers a wide range of topics such as Sketching, Part Modeling, Assembly Modeling, Drafting in SolidWorks 2014. In addition, this book covers the basics of FEA and SolidWorks Simulation.

Keeping in view the requirement of the users, the author has used real-world mechanical engineering industry examples as tutorials to ensure that the users can relate them with the actual mechanical industry designs and learn faster. The creation of each part, assembly, and drawing has been explained step-by-step which make the learning process quite simple and effective. Additionally, the tools introduced for the first time have been dealt in detail so that user can gain expertise and proficiency in SolidWorks. After reading the book, the user will be able to create parts, assemblies, and drawing views with bill of material, and learn the techniques that are essential for designing multiple models of similar geometry with ease. In addition, the user will be able to analysis the model.
