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.
If you have been using Solidworks for a while now, you may have gained some amount of expertise in using the tool. While it is seen when someone is using a design tool if he is naive or a professional, you may not be able to convey your efficiency on the tool effectively without a …
If we refer to earlier times when the engineers used to develop engineering drawings manually by hand, we can agree that it was a very tedious task if not a headache. Although CAD tools have made it easier for us to develop our parts/designs/products there is also an increasing demand for highly skilled CAD tool …
In this article, we are going to explain what is Swept Cut and how to use it. Swept Cut is used to cut a solid body by sweeping a closed profile or a tool body along a path. It is similar to Swept Boss/Base except for the fact that Boss/Base adds material and Swept cut …
There are times when we may need to apply a scale to a part. It can either be done to increase or decrease the size of the model. In SolidWorks, scaling is done with help of the Scale feature. You can apply the scale at any point in your workflow but be advised that if …
Need of Holes in designing While designing any component we have to provide some holes in the part. Those holes can be use for attaching the other parts or components using fasteners. The holes can be threaded or non-threaded. It depends upon the application for which that hole is made. To draw hole we have …
RealView Graphics is a feature in SolidWorks that enables the textures and graphics on the component or part. This feature allows the user visualize how the product will look after manufacturing, but the graphics on display are not very accurate. Furthermore, we see the condition in the real world is different from the environment present …
DXF is short for Drawing Exchange Format. Many Sites define it as Drawing Interchange Format and are a type of vector file. The DXF file format is used for 2D and 3D drawings during Component or product design. DXF files use the .DXF extension and are completely open-source. DXF files are supported in several 3D …
In SolidWorks, you can create the animation of the designed component or assembly. This feature of Solidworks comes very usefully when you want to show Design from all sides or how it’s going to assemble or while working. The animation can be exported into AVI video format or any other available file format. Creating animation …
In SOLIDWORKS we create our own templates to use as the basis for new parts, drawings, and assembly documents. For Example, I want to create a template in which my Default Material Is “AISI 1020 Steel” In units of Inch. To create a template: Go To File > New. now Click type of template that you want …
Springs are one of the most common components in any mechanical system. If you are a machine design engineer you are more likely to come across modelling a spring while you are designing any machine sub assembly. While designing springs is a whole topic in itself which involves all the calculations like what spring force …
