SOLIDWORKS 2023: A Power Guide for Beginners and Intermediate Users

SOLIDWORKS 2023: A Power Guide for Beginners and Intermediate  Users textbook has been designed for instructor-led courses as well as  self-paced learning. It is intended to help engineers and designers  interested in learning SOLIDWORKS for creating 3D mechanical design.  This textbook is a great help for new SOLIDWORKS users and a great  teaching aid in classroom training. This textbook consists of 14  chapters, with a total of 780 pages covering the major environments of  SOLIDWORKS such as Sketching environment, Part modeling environment,  Assembly environment, and Drawing environment. This textbook teaches  users to use SOLIDWORKS mechanical design software for creating  parametric 3D solid components, assemblies, and 2D drawings. This  textbook also includes a chapter on creating multiple configurations of a  design.

This textbook not only focuses on the usage of the tools  and commands of SOLIDWORKS but also on the concept of design. Every  chapter in this textbook contains tutorials that provide users with  step-by-step instructions for creating mechanical designs and drawings  with ease. Moreover, every chapter ends with hands-on test drives which  allow users to experience the user friendly and technical capabilities  of SOLIDWORKS.
