Solid Modeling Using SolidWorks 2004: A DVD Introduction Book/DVD Package

Description

This systematic introduction into the use of SolidWorks 2004 delivers all the information necessary for users to become proficient in designing parts, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings. The book and DVD work in conjunction to help users see and do their way to new solid modeling skills using the most current release of the software. Early units demonstrate how to construct three-dimensional models of designs, piece parts, and assemblies. From these models, users will learn to produce detailed engineering drawings that are fully annotated with notes and standard dimensioning practices. Learners will later become skilled at producing free-hand sketches of piece parts from both principal orthographic and isometric views of the object. Finally, users will create a self-directed or course-defined project consisting of the assembly as a solid model, the assembly drawings, and detailed drawings fully dimensioned and annotated as required for fabrication.
Product Benefits:

more than 12 hours of practical content featured on the DVD provides users with everything they need to make optimal use of SolidWorks 2004 for technical communication
the DVD delivery format permits learners to proceed at their own pace, with the option of replaying difficult concepts for mastery of complex commands
SolidWorks can be launched directly from the DVD, enabling learners to work along with the video using the drawing files provided
video lectures showing SolidWorks commands allow users to produce documentation, sketches, and projects along with the instructor
theoretical content presented in the book fosters an understanding of the basic mathematics underlying the geometry creation methods highlighted
