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.
What is a Coordinate system? As we have studied in geometry, a coordinate system is a system that uses one or more numbers that determine the position. These numbers are Coordinate points. The order of the coordinates is significant, and they are sometimes identified by their position. They are in an order of tuples and sometimes …
What is the DWG file format? Autodesk AutoCAD is a professional CAD program that creates a DWG file which is a 2D or 3D drawing file. It contains vector image data and metadata that AutoCAD and other CAD applications use. DWG files are related to.DXF files. DWG is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two and three-dimensional design …
What is Sketch Relation in Solidworks? Sketch Relation from name clearly says the relation within the sketch or sketches. These are green signs that show relations are the connections between two or more entities in the sketch. Like the relation of two lines, two curves, shapes or geometry, or any of the combinations. Some relations …
What is Spline? A spline is a mathematical curve. It is a type of piecewise polynomial function. Spline curves are also used in computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) to approximate complex shapes. There are different ways by which we can create the splines in Solidworks. A spline is a smooth curve that passes through the points …
While working on complex shapes or large assemblies sometimes the part of the subassembly creates a barrier while working in close areas. In order to see the area or the part where you have to make changes, you need to either hide the part or delete it. We know hiding the part or subassembly is …
In SolidWorks, there are multiple ways you can cut a Solid Body with a surface. In this article, we will discuss all the ways there are to cut a solid body with a surface. In this article, we are going to show how to use these features and where can you use them. 1. Cut …
In SolidWorks, we have many features which we use more often, and one such feature is the lofted boss. It’s a very common feature present in almost all CAD software. It is slightly different from the extruded boss and Sweep boss feature. It is mostly used to make more interplane geometries. Unlike extrude, revolve, and …
What is a Multi-Body part in SolidWorks? In SolidWorks, a part document (.sldprt) can contain multiple bodies. These bodies can either be solids, surfaces, or graphics. A Multi-Body part file is one that contains more than one solid body. If a part file has only multiple Surface bodies it is not considered a multi-body part. …
SolidWorks comes with a Symbol Library. You can choose several symbols from all of the symbols offered by the SolidWorks application by using the Symbol Library. Additionally, you may choose other symbols to enter in SolidWorks by using the Windows Character Map. They all come in useful at some point when you are designing on …
SolidWorks provides us with many evaluation tools. These evaluation tools help us make an efficient design by reducing errors in geometry. One such error is interference in any complex geometries. Interference can cause a lot of problems while we perform different operations on the geometry. In this article, we will learn about an evaluation tool …
