This course aims to teach you how to use SOLIDWORKS MBD to present product and manufacturing information (PMI) in a 3D PDF file. This course includes using DimXpert and annotation views combined with capturing and publishing 3D views.
Sheet Metal teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using SOLIDWORKS mechanical design automation software. Building standalone sheet metal parts, and converting conventional parts to sheet metal, including in the assembly context, are covered.
Topics covered in this course are: introduction to FEA; FEA principles and theory; element quality; linear static analysis of parts; gap/contact and advanced assembly analysis; analysis setup and post-processing; evaluating FE convergence; limitations of linear analysis; load and boundary condition application; stress analysis with thermal loading; model and result validation; automatic report generation.
Topics covered in this course are: heat transfer analysis, steady state, and transient; frequency analysis; effect of in-plane loading on thin-walled structures; structural failure under compressive loads; buckling of elastic structures; meshing options; drop testing; fatigue; optimization.
Weldments teaches you how to create welded structures with standard
structural members. Weld beads are also covered.
Advanced Part Modeling teaches you how to use multibody solids, sweeping and lofting features, and the more advanced shaping capabilities of SOLIDWORKS.
Topics covered are: sketching, multi-contour sketching, reference geometry creation, design intent, feature creation, shelling, configurations, assemblies, drawings/detailing, editing, parent-child relationships, relations, rudimentary top-down design, and advanced
mating techniques.
Motion Simulation is for users who would like to become productive quickly in using SOLIDWORKS Motion. This 2-day course will teach you how to use the SOLIDWORKS Motion simulation package to study your SOLIDWORKS assembly models’ kinematics and dynamic behavior. In addition, the course provides an in-depth session on the basics of building, simulating, and refining a mechanical design system.
