Solidworks

Many companies are realizing that their current engineering tools (non parametric 2D CAD and analysis tools) are not adequate for today’s' fast paced world and often a limiting factor in their "first to market" efforts.  The SolidWorks Basic Training Class provides an understanding of 3D parametric CAD and teaches the necessary skills to create part assemblies and drawings to obtain entry level employment where SolidWorks skills are required.  

You will explore setup configurations and learn to make SolidWorks conform to a variety of standards.  Learn to create and edit the most commonly used features and build assembly models that automatically place the Bill of Materials on your drawings, and discover how to generate detailed 2D drawings to make fabrication of parts easier and faster.  You will also be introduced to advanced features such as sheet metal part design with machine shop flat pattern layouts and welded parts assemblies that automatically generate materials cut list.  The SolidWorks Basic Class is a prerequisite to the Advanced Class as concepts will be expanded to cover more complex an advanced part modeling.
