Advanced SOLIDWORKS 2022 for Designers, 20th Edition

The Advanced SOLIDWORKS 2022 for Designers textbook has been written to help the users who are interested in learning 3D designs. This book explains in detail the procedure of creating complex surface and sheet metal designs, saving sketches as blocks, creating mechanisms using blocks, working with equations, configurations, and library features. Apart from these topics the textbook also describes motion study and mold design concepts. Additionally, some real-world projects are included that will help readers to related the concepts learned through the book with the industry designs. Also, a number of real-world mechanical engineering industry examples, tutorials, and exercises have been used for the users to understand the software easily and effectively.
Special emphasis has been laid on the introduction of concepts, which have been explained using text, along with graphical examples. The examples and tutorials used in this book ensure that the users can relate the information provided in this textbook with the practical industry designs. Salient Features Consists of 8 chapters that are organized in a pedagogical sequence. Comprehensive coverage of SOLIDWORKS 2022 concepts and techniques. Hundreds of illustrations and tutorial approach to explain the advanced concepts of SOLIDWORS 2022. Summary on the first page of the topics that are covered in the chapter.
