Overview

SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual provides tools that allow you to quickly create, refine, and share conceptual mechanical designs.  3D Primitives is a rapid design method to create your concepts where the 3D visualization is important, but the components do not need to be highly detailed.  3D Primitives use simple shapes like cylinders, tubes, blocks and links; so you can quickly create models that represent the basic shapes needed, without spending time adding too much detail.

Lets take a look on how to use primitives: 

Benefits Summary

Primitives in SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual:

• Provide quick pathways to 3d geometry, and
• Allow you to visualize concepts in 3d without spending too much time working on details. They
• Save you time by adding mates based on inferences automatically, and
• Provide flexibility for you to edit or add detail to refine your concepts as you need to.
