The SolidWorks 2020: Advanced Parts & Assemblies course shows you how to unlock the power of custom configurations, use equations to create features, work with design tables, create part generators and much much more. This course is packed with tips and tricks that will make your models and assemblies bulletproof.
So the title of the course describes what you'll learn. You'll learn advanced methods of creating single part models, and you'll learn basic through advanced methods of creating and working with assemblies. You'll also learn that you can merge the two concepts together by creating assemblies from single part models. In fact, this is called multi-body modeling or top down design. There are too many facets of this concept to discuss here, but you can be assured to learn all about it in the course.
The goal of this course is to teach sound practices that assure you or anyone on your team can quickly and easily edit your work. Sound practice and procedures also help prevent the need to scrap work and start over. Too often users find themselves having to scrap a model because it has become unmanageable. It falls apart when you try to edit it, and this consumes a great deal of your time. This and all our courses focus on workflows that minimize or remove the need to scrap your work. This can save you a great deal of time and money.
The SOLIDWORKS 2020: Advanced Parts & Assemblies course has over 7.9 hours of video instruction. If you study the course 8 hours a day, the average time it takes to watch the lessons and practice the tasks is about 3 days. When you're finished you'll have an extremely strong foundation of skills that are required for subsequent courses.
