Duration: 100 Hours
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge in mechanical/electrical or design/drafting or engineering or technical background.

Materials Provided: Book and Software (student version)

Methods of Instruction: Lecture, Reading, Hands-on assignments, and projects (trainees are encouraged if allowed, to bring actual work projects).

Course Description:

This course is designed to expand and enhance trainees’ knowledge and skills within their respective disciplines while integrating SolidWorks design techniques and capabilities to produce detailed engineering drawings and plans.

The course covers the core functionality of design automation, including view and section creation, dimensioning, bills of materials (BOM), and automatically updating views to reflect dimensional changes. Participants will learn visualization and model rotation techniques, creation of part families, management of varying assembly configurations, collision and interference detection, modeling and animation, and 3D photorealistic rendering.

Additional topics include understanding relationships between dimensions and geometry, performing design calculations, conducting 3D finite element analysis (FEA), and generating CNC-ready 3D machine parts.

* Certificate of completion will be awarded
