Description

Most of the features in SolidWorks are called" sketch based features", that is why in this course, we have extra attention to 2D sketching then I focused on three main things, the first one is to learn SolidWorks features, the second one is to have practice so you can use these features and the third one is to have real life examples on using these features. By completing this course your level in modeling will be intermediate. Three types of modeling are covered:

1- Solid modeling

2-Sheet metal modeling

3-Structural steel modeling(SolidWorks Weldments)

In my opinion, the topics covered in this course must be known by mechanical engineers.

Who this course is for:

  • Mechanical Engineers
  • Anybody interested in 3D modeling
