SolidWorks^® 2019
Advanced Parts & Assemblies

Take Your Skills to a New Level!

The SolidWorks 2019: Advanced Parts & Assemblies course is the second course in the series. It expands your knowledge of solid modeling to include faster and more advanced methods. It covers the details of creating assemblies and shows several advanced methods of creating them. By the time you finish this course you will be an advanced modeler.

The course starts by showing you how to work with materials and how to create your own custom materials. As you might have guessed, materials are an important aspect of your models and assemblies. Controlling materials can make your models look more realistic. Materials are revisited throughout the course to help you excel in this area.

Most 3D models use standard threads on their models, which is simply a 2 dimensional image wrapped around a cylindrical feature. It really doesn't look like a real 3D thread. You, however, will learn how to create 3D helical threads. It takes just a little longer than 2D image threads, but it really makes your models stand out.

You'll also gain an extensive insight about configurations. Configurations are used to create different versions of a part. For example a cast part becomes a completed part after it's been machined. So there are two phases in producing a cast part. First it's cast, and then it's machined. You can create a cast configuration complete with its specifications, and then create a machined configuration from the cast configuration. Each configuration will have its own specifications and created in the shortest time possible. This course shows you how this is done.

Design tables are also powerful tool used to create part generators. Excel worksheet can be used to generate an entire family of parts and all you need to do is construct one part. There are an endless number of benefits you can achieve using this tool.

If you're a guru with mathematics you can also use equations to generate features. This requires some basic knowledge of algebraic equations, but it's covered in this course. It's also shown in a way that simplifies the process so most modelers will learn to enjoy using equations to control features.

Welments are also covered. You'll learn how to customize joints in a frame member, add gussets and caps, as well as weld beads. This course covers it all while showing best practices and sound procedures.

All the standard and advanced mates are covered in detail. You'll practice using each one while exploring their strengths and weaknesses. Each step of the way you'll learn best practices for creating robust assemblies.

Assembly and design strategies are also covered in detail. You'll practice creating assemblies using bottom up and middle out design strategies. You'll create assemblies from single part files using top down design and multi-body modeling. You'll also practice using hybrids of each strategy.

By the time you finish this course you will know advanced methods of creating models and assemblies. You'll have practiced using sound practices and procedures, and you truly understand what it takes to create professional models and assemblies.
