Description

SolidWorks 2010 Tutorial with Multimedia CD is written for students and instructors in a technical school, community college, college or university and also designers, engineers, and industry professionals that want to learn how to design with SolidWorks. Developed for the beginner to intermediate SolidWorks user, the book provides you a step-by-step project based approach to learning SolidWorks with 1.5 hours of video instruction and hundreds of SolidWorks models on the enclosed CD.
The Book is divided into two sections. Chapter one through six explore the SolidWorks User Interface and CommandManager, Document and System properties, simple machine parts, simple and complex assemblies, design tables, configurations, multi-sheet, multi-view drawings, BOMs and Revision tables using basic and advanced features.
Follow the step-by-step instructions and develop multiple assemblies that combine over 80 extruded machined parts and components. Formulate the skills to create, modify and edit sketches and solid features. Learn the techniques to reuse features, parts and assemblies through symmetry, patterns, copies components, design tables and configurations. Explore SolidWorks SimulationXpress, an introduction to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), SolidWorks SustainabilityXpress, an introduction to Life Cycle Assessment, and DFMXpress, an introduction to design for manufacturability. Learn by doing, not just reading!
Chapter seven through chapter eleven prepares you for the Certified SolidWorks Associate Exam (CSWA). The CSWA certification indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of 3D CAD and engineering practices and principles. Follow the steps in these chapters to assist you in learning the skills required to pass the CSWA.
Desired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for each project. Know your objectives up front. Follow the step in each project to achieve your design goals. Work between multiple documents, features, commands, custom properties and document properties that represent how engineers and designers utilize SolidWorks in industry.

A terrific book on SW May 18, 2010 By J. Thomson
There are a number of SolidWorks books on the market (I've purchased most of them in the past month) and this is a terrific book on the subject of SolidWorks, visualization and basic engineering principles for a new user. The authors seem to recognize how people study and learn and they assume absolutely nothing. The book walks the reader through logical step by step paces. So far, the screen shots in the book are exactly what I see! Not all books are this way. The accompanying DVD packs multimedia files from the book with CSWA model files for the CSWA exam. This is a real plus.

The instructions are presented in a logical manner and are very easy to follow and learn - or just watch the multimedia cd. The book covers a wealth of information both on SolidWorks, basic engineering principles (tolerance, fit, ANSI drawings, dimensioning, etc.) and visualization.

Multimedia CD is worth the price of admission alone Jun 07, 2010 By D. Hatten
Disclosure: I don't personally know these authors, but I have taught countless courses at various levels using their text and someday would like to meet them at an ASEE event.

This is an excellent resource for any beginner learning SolidWorks. It is clear, concise, and well illustrated using proper traditional design techniques. Presently; I'm using their Engineering Design book, but I'm very tempted to switch to the new Tutorial book. They keep amazing me with their yearly informative updates and additional instructor class materials. This is not a stagnate world - and they know it.

During my summer review of books, I noticed that their new Tutorial book has five, yes five additional chapters focused on the CSWA certification. This can be a capstone project if my department can agree on it. There are great traditional models and excellent tips and design considerations in the book along with a Multimedia CD. As I stated in a previous review, "the CD is worth the price of admission alone". The homework sections in both books are expanded along with additional lecture presentations and avi files for instructors. My life is getting a little easier.

Excellent Tutorial book for the new user Mar 09, 2011 By New users
I was downsized (layoff for a better word) over a year ago and been looking for a full or part time position. It's been no picnic being 56 and unemployed.

I took a retraining class at a local community college to learn SolidWorks. I've been trying to learn it on my own. SolidWorks is a great 3D tool for any engineer. I wished they had computers when I was in school. The instructor was remarkable and used the SolidWorks Tutorial book.

This book truly uses a step-by-step procedure with enlightening tips throughout the book. If anyone is serious about purchasing a single book to learn SolidWorks for the first time, this is the book for you. Well written, well presented, and excellent material and models. The multimedia CD was great to watch and learn from.

Brilliant text with additional materials and model CD Apr 08, 2010 By Karen A - SoldWorks rocks "Karen"
Wow, my biggest problem now is what book to select for my class - Engineering Design with SolidWorks 2010 or the SolidWorks 2010 Tutorial book. This year, the authors added five additional chapters from their Certification book to aid students to pass the SolidWorks CSWA Certification. Brilliant idea to enhance the text and content of this book! The Multi-media CD is also a big plus for any book with students. A job well done. What are you going to do next year?

Very useful May 11, 2011 By MechEngi85
I purchased this book right after getting a new job. I use SolidWorks a lot but I have never used it before this job. This book has been very helpful and the included chapters for studying for the certification exam are excellent.

If you are new to SolidWorks or you are studying for the cert. exam I highly recommend this book.
