additions to increase your knowledge. - lots of fun topics!
Today, you can start your journey to becoming a SOLIDWORKS
professional with ZERO prior experience! I stress that you
need
no prior experience, and there is nothing to buy or pay for!!!
You will only need SOLIDWORKS itself. Why our course?! Learn
from the best. Your instructor is the author of the book
"Learn
SOLIDWORKS," published by Packt, which has three editions. You
will have all your questions answered by experts in the course
forum. Get access to an exclusive student
SOLIDWORKS community.
We follow the learning-by-doing approach, which has been
proven
to be the best for learning software like SOLIDWORKS. We have
enlarged the interface icons in our screencasts to make our
videos more eye-friendly. We even enlarged the mouse cursor!!
We
use annotations in all our lectures for easier follow-up. We
made our videos short and concentrated on one or a few aspects
to make them easier for reference. We also designed each
lecture
to be a stand-alone lecture. You will learn: How to navigate
through the SOLIDWORKS interface. How to sketch with different
sketch commands. How to define sketches using relations or
distances. How to use more than 10 different features to
create
3D models. (extruded boss and cut, fillet, chamfers, revolved
boss and cut, swept boss and cut, lofted boss and cut) How to
create additional reference planes. How to modify the given
parts to match design needs. How to explore different
materials
for your models. How to find your model's mass, volume, and
center of gravity. How to assemble different parts into an
assembly file. How to generate drawings from parts and models.
How to interpret different drawing annotations. Click the

costing you great creations and skills :) Tayseer Almattar
