Course
Name: SolidWorks
2007 - Essentials
Description: This course
is designed to introduce the novice CAD user to SolidWorks,
and teach the new user the basics of 3D parametric CAD
design and how to get the job done using SolidWorks. By
the end of this 4-day introduction, you will be familiar
with all of the basic functions of SolidWorks that make
this software package so popular.
Essentials covers many basic topics such as:
‧ Software Interface
‧ Design Intent
‧ Part Modeling
‧ Extrusions
‧ Cuts
‧ Revolved Parts
‧ Circular and Linear Patterns
‧ Shelling
‧ Part Configurations (Family of Parts)
‧ Bottom-Up Assembly Modeling (putting parts together)
‧ Detailed Drawing
Cimquest is proud to be an Official SolidWorks Authorized
Training and Support Center and an Official SolidWorks
Certified Testing Center. All of our instructors have
been certified by SolidWorks.
PreRequisite:
Students should have a basic knowledge of the MS Windows
