Formerly called Project Based SOLIDWORKS, this revised edition includes new and expanded tutorials, making it perfect for a freshman design class or as a companion text to an engineering graphics textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach tutorial in the book teaches you how to use engineering graphics concepts while modelling real-world parts and assemblies. Learn how to model parts, configurations, create part prints, and assembly drawings. As you become more comfortable with SOLIDWORKS, later chapters introduce FEA, how to create more complex solid geometries with parametric modelling, apply tolerances, and use advanced and mechanical mates. Important commands and features are highlighted and defined in each chapter to help you become familiar with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstructional videos for all the tutorials and end-of-chapter problems come with the book, so if you need more help, or are a visual learner, you can refer to them. Some problems are purposely left open-ended to simulate real-life design situations; therefore, more than one solution is possible. After completing all the tutorials in this book, you will be able to accurately design moderately difficult parts and assemblies and have a firm foundation in SOLIDWORKS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Hands-On Introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2022\u003c\/i\u003e offers a thoughtful and well-organised layout, appreciated by both instructors and learners. Every chapter begins with the prerequisites needed to complete the tutorials and a list of what you will learn. You don't necessarily need to complete the tutorials in order, but ensure you have the prerequisite knowledge before beginning. Practice modelling problems and\/or quiz problems at the end of each chapter provide an extra challenge, allowing you to practice your newfound skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with realistic part models and assemblies means encountering questions and problems similar to those in real-life projects. The author anticipates these questions and provides guidance on how to address them. For instance, if you find yourself in the wrong standard, on the incorrect layer, or facing an unexpected window, tips and notes quickly remedy the issue. Work alongside the author using the instructional videos included for every tutorial and end-of-chapter problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew commands or steps appear at the beginning of each chapter, complete with definitions of new features and concepts, alongside images of how they appear on the screen. Everything is clearly labelled for easy identification. Throughout the book, readers are referred to the appropriate section of the chapter for more information on commands when needed. A command index at the back of the book lists where each command can be found for easy reference at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47604951908588,"sku":"9781630574734","price":146.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781630574734-a-hands-on-introduction-to-solidworks-2022.jpg?v=1778116442","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/a-hands-on-introduction-to-solidworks-2022-by-kirstie-plantenberg-9781630574734","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
