Beginner's Guide to: SOLIDWORKS Design

Learn the Basics of SOLIDWORKS Design

This video series, "Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS Design," is a comprehensive tutorial that walks you through the fundamental steps of creating a 3D model, from a single part to a full assembly.

Introduction to the Video Series: 

 

Even if you are using SOLIDWORKS locally and not connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, this video series is a great starting point for your SOLIDWORKS learning journey.

 

The video playlist covers a progressive set of skills, starting with basic part creation using sketches and the Extruded Boss/Base feature. They then move on to more advanced modeling techniques such as removing material with Cut Extrude, adding details with Mirror and Fillet, and duplicating features with a Linear Pattern. The series culminates in teaching how to combine multiple parts into a complete assembly, using Mates to define how the components interact with each other. It also provides guidance on using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for saving and managing file revisions.

Your First Part Design

Learn the basics of SOLIDWORKS CAD while modeling a simple cylinder part design

 

Sketch and Extrude

Learn how to create a Sketch in SOLIDWORKS, and then use the Extruded Boss/Base feature to add depth and volume

 

Cut Extrude

Learn how to use the Cut Extruded feature to remove material and volume from your part design

 

Mirror & Fillet Commands

Discover how the to use common features such as mirror and fillet

 

Assembly Modeling and Saving to the Cloud

Create an assembly of parts and then save the design to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using Cloud Services

 

Revise a Design and Add a Pattern Feature

Learn how to open a part from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, create a pattern feature, and save it as a new revision

 

If you are using SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services, you will need to install the Design with SOLIDWORKS application to complete the saving and revising designs from the cloud steps below. See the Beginners Guide to: SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services for help installing and using the Design with SOLIDWORKS app.
