SOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #10: Sketching, Constraints, Dimensions
Design intent manages the relationship between sketches in a feature, features in a part, and parts in an assembly. Students need to understand design intent in a sketch, using constraints and dimensions. Let’s start with a simple example using xDesign.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson 9:External References – Copy with Mates
Engineering students need to understand how to create assemblies using a bottom – up design approach, a top – down design approach or combination of both. Use SOLIDWORKS xDesign to understand how external references are created when inserting a new component. Enhance working proficiency with copy with mates using components not in a pattern. Utilize a collaborative space so students just don’t loose their data in the cloud.

The 4Bar Linkage provides students a first look at mechanisms, before applying an analytical solution, with easy to understand Joints in the Kinematics player. The Physical Products (components) can be used between many apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #7: Assemblies
In this lesson, import three SOLIDWORKS parts (Windows) into xDesign and save to a Collaborative space (cloud) . From the Collaborative space insert the three components, one at a time, into the Rocket assembly. The first component is inserted to the Origin and is fixed. All other components are inserted to the Origin and are not fixed. Use mates to represent the physical behavior of the model.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #3: Sketch Planes
One of the most difficult areas I’ve seen with my students is where do they start the design. What sketch plane do they select? Most xDesign features start with a sketch. The default reference planes are: xy (Top), yz (Front), and zx (Right). This lesson takes you through creating a cylinder with a circular sketch on different reference planes.
