SolidWorks is a powerful 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software tool used by engineers and designers to create complex models and assemblies. SolidWorks is known for its user-friendly interface and its ability to handle large and complex designs. In this category, we’ll explore the different features and capabilities of SolidWorks, including creating sketches, designing parts and assemblies, and creating drawings. We’ll also cover advanced features of SolidWorks, such as simulation and analysis, rendering, and automation. Additionally, we’ll provide tips and tutorials for using SolidWorks effectively, including best practices for designing parts and assemblies, creating drawings, and collaborating with other designers. Whether you’re new to SolidWorks or an experienced user, this category is your go-to resource for all things SolidWorks.
Why is there a need for Weldment cut lists? Designing and manufacturing the component is a systematic process that is followed in every industry. But one thing that comes in between this is the material selection, material type, and quantity of material. These are important as well as necessary steps to know the material quantity …
Why Sheetmetal part designing is necessary Sheetmetal designing is a part of design engineering. In the Engineering sector, many parts are manufactured using Sheetmetal design. As parts created using sheet metal are light in weight and have enough strength. The manufacturing of sheet metal parts is faster. If want to design a box open …
Extrude Cut: In this tutorial we will be discussing the relatively simple feature extrude cut and a bit tricky one, the extrude feature itself. Now coming to the first one, it is very easy to implement. For example, you can take the assembly shown below. It is a lathe chuck with 3 jaws. To extrude …
SolidWorks advances concepts of manufacturing to greater extents that have greatly improved our designs with ease. The introduction of Tube routing allows for active placing of tube and pipe fittings in assemblies. These fittings are according to standard holes and measurements. Extra components are also available in the Design Library or you can create your …
The hinge is a mechanical component. You can easily find this component around you. The most common application of hinges is doors windows etc. To make a 3d model of a hinge you need to make separate parts and then assemble them into one single component. The hinge that we will make will be symmetrical. …
When we talk about designing large component assembly we need to define the position of the part in that design. The position is fixed or with a minimum DOF ( Degree of Freedom). While part assembling on software the designer knows which component is assembling when and how. In actual practice, the same track is …
When working on any 3-D model you have a lot of software to deal with it. You may have come across different software and SolidWorks and Blender are two such software. Both software works differently and is best suited according to situations. Blender free open-source 3D computer graphics software. Whereas SolidWorks is a solid-modeling Computer-aided-Designing …
Why Selection material? Selecting material for the part is a very important part of Engineering. There are hundreds of thousands of materials available in the world. Some being pure material, some impure, and some combination of two materials (Alloys). Selecting material according to the requirement and knowing the application of the product. Most importantly, we …
What is Meshing? Meshing is a method in which the component or part is divided into several small proportions. We can also say that meshing is the breaking of large geometries into small discrete cells. Meshing is generally needed in the analysis of either FEA or CFD, and also in the Graphic rendering process. The …
Why Projected view? Projections methods help the designer to read the drawing of a 3d object more easily. The projected view is used in mechanical drawing. So, the part created by the designer is understood by the manufacturers. As pictorial view doesn’t display many details, unlike the Projected view. Projected views are necessary as it …
