How do you prepare your students to work for talented SolidWorks customers, like Franck Muller Watchland<\/a>?  You need to start with the fundamentals.  My colleagues from the SolidWorks Web Team put together a series of 200 videos to help our users learn about SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation.   <\/p>\n

SolidWorks is more than a 3D modeling tool.  This software application allows you to design a product, simulate its operation in real world conditions, and prepare components to be manufactured.<\/p>\n

I have outlined a few of my favorite videos to help explain our SolidWorks tools – all in one interface: <\/p>\n

SolidWorks 3D CAD Fundamentals<\/a> - introduction to SolidWorks in a fun, cartoon way.<\/p>\n

SolidWorks  Assemblies<\/a> - visualize how parts fit together and simulate complex mechanisms<\/p>\n

SolidWorks 2D Drawings<\/a> - create production ready drawings for manufacturing and communication<\/p>\n

3D Animations and Photorealistic Rendering<\/a> - create powerful, images and animations <\/p>\n

Design Analysis<\/a> - Finite Element Analysis, Kinematics, Computational Fluid Dynamics,and fun with physics<\/p>\n

CAD Library <\/a>– Download millions of free part and assembly models<\/p>\n

Design for Costing<\/a> - Estimation and quoting for manufacturing costs<\/p>\n

SolidWorks Sustainability <\/a>– Life cycle assessment of the environmental impact of your designs<\/p>\n

Sheet Metal<\/a> - Create flat and formed parts and sheet metal drawings<\/p>\n

Mold Design<\/a> - Develop plastic parts for manufacturing<\/p>\n

Weldments<\/a> - Automate and document weld structures<\/p>\n

Electrical Cable and Routing<\/a> - Create the cable harness model, wire routing and wiring diagrams<\/p>\n

Piping and Tubing<\/a> - 3D design of piping, hydraulics, and other systems<\/p>\n
