The book provides a solid foundation in assembly modeling using competency-based projects. In step-by-step instructions, the book provides examples to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStart a SolidWorks session and to understand the following interfaces: Menu bar toolbar, Menu bar menu, Drop-down menus, Context toolbars, Consolidated drop-down toolbars, System feedback icons, Confirmation Corner, Heads-up View toolbar, CommandManager, and more. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSet System Options and Document Properties as they applied to a part and assembly template. Create new SolidWorks folder locations: Document Templates, Reference Documents, and Design Library. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDownload components from 3D ContentCentral and rename and save components using SolidWorks Explorer. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply the Bottom-up assembly approach with two levels of configurations using the Configure component tool, the Configure dimension tool, Design Tables, and the Add Configuration tool. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate new parts based on component features utilizing the Bottom-up assembly approach. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply Standard Mates, SmartMates, and the Design Library Toolbox. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply the Top-down assembly approach with two levels of configurations with In-Context components. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the following: Out-of-Context components, External References, InPlace Mates, redefining and replacing components and motion studies. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply the Derived Feature Component Pattern tool, Linear Component Pattern tool,and the Mirror Component tool along with the Explode Line Sketch tool. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate a multi sheet, multi view assembly drawing. Knowledge of Custom Properties in a part\/assembly and linked notes, with the ability to incorporate configurations of an Exploded view, Bill of Materials, Revision tables, and more. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddress the Layout-based assembly approach and Link Values and Equations to control relationships. Each project begins with the desired outcomes and usage competencies. Explore assembly modeling techniques through a series of design situations, industry scenarios, projects and objectives. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is a self-paced tutorial in a realistic design setting. Complex models expose you to large assembly modeling techniques. You focus on the design process while learning the commands relative to assemblies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo obtain the most from this text, you should be familiar with the SolidWorks User Interface or other parametric modeling software application. Your skill sets should include the ability to create simple parts, assemblies, and drawings and manipulate documents through the Windows operating system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors developed the industry scenarios by combining their own industry experience with the knowledge of engineers, department managers, vendors and manufacturers. These professionals are directly involved with SolidWorks everyday. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitial and final models are provided on the CD accompanying the book.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SDC Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031259037936,"sku":"9781585034673","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781585034673_p0.jpg?v=1763782921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781585034673","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
