  4. (4) SolidWorks Model Types e.g., Base.sldprt Base-Rod.sldasm Base.slddrw

  5. 2. Part Modeling (1) Setting Up Unit Menu: Tools->Options

  6. – Hole + Block Top Plane (2) 3-D Object Creation Procedure By Creating Features • Each Feature: • 2-D Sketching • 3-D Formation

  7. (3) 2-D Sketching • Parametric Modeling • (a) Procedure • Sketch the geometry • Dimension the geometry • Modify the dimension values • e.g., 0.42 1.43 1 1 0.35 1 1.51 1

  8. (b) 2-D Object Creation Methods Menu: Tools->Sketch Entities 3 Point Arc Line Tangent Arc Centerpoint Arc Point Rectangle Spline Circle

  9. (c) Additional 2-D Object Creation Methods Menu: Tools->Sketch Tools Chamfer Fillet Mirror Trim Offset Entities Extend

  10. Angular Radial Linear (d) DimensioningMenu: Tools->Dimensions->Smart (e) RelationsMenu: Tools->Relations Collinear Perpendicular Vertical Horizontal

  11. Midpoint Coincident Tangent Parallel Equal Coradial Concentric Symmetric

  13. Menu: Insert->Boss/Bass Sweep Boss/Base Lofted Boss/Base Menu: Insert->Features Fillet Chamfer

  14. Menu: Insert->Pattern/Mirror Linear Pattern Circular Pattern Mirror

  15. Z Y X (5) Reference Geometry Menu: Insert->Reference Geometry Axis Coordinate System Plane e.g., A reference plane for creating a sketch of revolved cut feature

  16. (6) Viewing Menu: View->Display Hidden Lines Removed Shaded With Edges Hidden Lines Visible Wireframe Menu: View->Modify Rotate Pan Zoom to Fit

  17. 3. Assembly Modeling • Loading the Components • Menu: Insert->Component • ->Existing Part/Assembly

  18. (2) Defining Mates Menu: Insert->Mate

  19. (3) Exploded View Menu: Insert->Exploded View

  20. 4. Drawing Modeling 2-D Drawing of a Part or an Assembly (From Planchard and Planchard 2003)

  21. (1) Drawing Template and Drawing Format • Orientation • Landscape • Portrait • Size • A • B • A4 • A3 • ... ... (From Planchard and Planchard 2003) Menu: File->New->Draw

  22. (2) Creating Views • Menu: Insert->Drawing View • Standard 3 View Top View Right View Front View

  23. Model View Model View Orientation

  24. Derived Drawing Views Projected View Auxiliary View Detail View Crop View Broken-Out Section Section View

  25. (3) Dimensions Menu: Tools->Options Select Styles of Font, Leader, Precision, Tolerance, Arrow, etc. Two Ways to Create Dimensions (i) Display All Dimensions and Then Modify These Dimensions Menu: Insert->Model Items (ii) Create Required Dimensions Manually Menu: Tools->Dimensions
