SOLIDWORKSo INSPIRED TO DESIGN

SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS (ORIGINALLY SOLIDWORKS) IS SOLID MODELING CAD (COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN) SOFTWARE THAT RUNS ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS AND IS SINCE 1997 PRODUCED BY DASSAULTSYSTÈMES SOLIDWORKS CORP., A SUBSIDIARY OF DASSAULTSYSTÈMES, S. A. (VÉLIZY, FRANCE). SOLIDWORKS IS CURRENTLY USED BY OVER 2 MILLION ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS AT MORE THAN 165,000 COMPANIES WORLDWIDE. FY2011 REVENUE FOR SOLIDWORKS WAS 483 MILLION DOLLARS.

INSPIRED TO DESIGN

COMMANDS IN SOLID WORKS• LINE• RECTANGLE• RIB• SWEEP• SLOT• RELATION• RE-DESIGN• CONTROL• EXTRUDE

• LOFT: LOFT IS USEFUL FOR BUILDING A SURFACE THROUGH DISSIMILAR PROFILES OR BOUNDING A FOUR SIDED SHAPE USING THE OPTION OF GUIDE CURVES.• FILL: FILL IS A “CATCH-ALL” FOR AREAS THAT CANNOT BE DEFINED USING LOFT

AND SWEEP. IT SHOULD BE THE ONLY CONSIDERATION WHEN NEEDING TO “FILL” 3 SIDED OR 5 OR MORE SIDED AREAS.• BOUNDARY: IT IS MUCH LIKE LOFT EXCEPT THAT IT DOES TREATS THE FIRST AND

SECOND DIRECTIONS EQUALLY. LOFT PROFILES HAVE INFLUENCE OVER THE GUIDE CURVES WHICH SOMETIMES PRODUCES UN-PREDICTABLE AND UNDESIRED BEHAVIOR. IT ALSO CAN MATCH ADJACENT SURFACES CURVE CONTINUOUSLY ON ALL SIDES.• FREEFORM: IT IS FOR MODIFYING AN EXISTING SURFACE BY PUSHING AND

PULLING ON IT WITH CONTROL CURVES AND POINTS.

INTERFACING TO SOLIDWORKS

INTERFACING PLANES:• FRONT PLANE• TOP PLANE• RIGHT PLANE

EXTRUDE

ISOMETRIC PLANE

An extensive set of modeling tools for complex shapes

Dissimilar or multiple profiles/Guides and need it to be solid: Use Loft

Similar profiles but change along length of shape: Use Sweep

Three or five or more boundaries: Use Fill

For high quality surfaces-only and C2 in both directions: Use Boundary

For modifying surfaces dynamically and without sketches: Use Freeform

WHICH SURFACE FEATURE TO USE?

BOUNDARY INTRODUCTION

FEATURES:• UNLIKE LOFT, THERE IS NOT INFLUENCE OF CURVE DIRECTION 1 OVER

CURVE DIRECTION 2.

• BECAUSE OF THIS C2 MATCHING CAN BE APPLIED TO ALL SIDES.

First Direction

Second Direction

BOUNDARY INTRODUCTION

FEATURES:• CAN CREATE

SURFACES WITH ONLY 1 CURVE IN EACH DIRECTION
