Workshops >Solid Modeling with SolidWorks


Workshop Description and Goals

 

Attend the five-day Solid Modeling with SolidWorks workshop June 22-26, 2009 at a cost of $500, at NTID/RIT in Rochester NY. The workshop will be held daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

 

SolidWorks is currently one of the most popular products in the 3D mechanical CAD market. This workshop will allow participants to develop intermediate to advanced-level solid modeling skills using the SolidWorks software package. During workshop, participants will have hands-on experience using SolidWorks to convert 2D designs into 3D models as well as creating technical drawings. Participants will create animation with “assembly motion” using their 3D models during the workshop.


Topics

  • Getting started with SolidWorks

  • Setting important functions

  • Mastering 2D sketches

  • Understanding the SolidWorks tools
