DAO / CAO - SOLIDWORKS - The basics

SolidWorks is a 3D modeller using parametric design which allows the definition of the part to be changed easily.

This software generates 3 types of files (the part, the assembly and the drawing) which are automatically linked so that the part can be machined on a numerically controlled machine.

SolidWorks software is widely used by engineers thanks to its intuitive interface and powerful features which speed up the design process and give a so-called "photorealistic" rendering.

This course provides the basics of sketching tools, functions for creating massive parts, assemblies, and drawings.

At the end of the course, trainees will be able to:

• combine the various CAD/CAM tools used in design offices
• appropriate the basic principles of 3D CAD drawing
• manage an overall drawing
• create libraries
• use SolidWorks software

• Formative assessment
• Sketching a drawing and dimensioning
• Basic functions (extrusion, revolution) and volume assembly constraints
• Repeating components (library)
• Drawing (parts, assemblies and dimensioning)
• Final assessment

• Statement of skills and/or competencies

• All audiences

Computing: knowledge of the Windows environment and data file management.

Technical: basic knowledge of geometry (plans, volumes), reading a simple technical plan.
