SOLIDWORKS
The applicating uses SOLIDWORKS software for Mechanical and Automation Engineers.
DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for easy learning of SolidWorks software for Mechanical and Automation Engineering students/professionals who are interested in 3D Modeling of machine drawing and parametric design and generates three kinds of interconnected files: the part , the assembly, and the drawing.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS COURSE
In this course, you will learn how to use SOLIDWORKS to model 3D parametric models of parts and assemblies and prepare drawings of those parts and assemblies and apply the material.
PREREQUISITES
Basic knowledge of AutoCAD, Engineering Drawing, etc.
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR
Anyone who wants to learn SOLIDWORKS.
Mechanical and Automation Design students / professionals or anyone who wants to learn 2D and 3D Modeling, sheetmetal and surface Designs in SOLIDWORKS.
