Learn to move and rotate components in SolidWorks assemblies using Move Component and Rotate Component tools, while managing mating constraints and aligning parts with planes or surfaces.
Copy multiple components with all mates between two parts in SolidWorks using ctrl-drag or ctrl-c/ctrl-v, preserving mates via the mate folders and fixing by aligning origin in the assembly.
Discover the top down design method, its contrast with bottom up design, and how linking components via external references enables simultaneous updates and reduced rework in assembly design.
Create and insert envelope components in SolidWorks assemblies as reference placeholders for sizing, with envelopes ignored in BOM and mass properties and usable for inside or crossing selection.
Toggle no external references in sketches to prevent external references when designing, and use system options to choose the reference component type and show broken references with an X.
Learn to create path mates in SolidWorks to drive a vertex along a path while locking rotation, using distance along path, percent along path, and pitch, yaw, and roll controls.
Explore how the hinge mate in SolidWorks replaces three separate mates—concentric, coincident, and limit angle—with a single rotational degree of freedom, streamlining assembly modeling.
Learn to create and save simple animations using the mate controller in SolidWorks, integrate them with motion studies, and control timing, playback modes, and avi format.
Create configurations for each of four positions using the Mate Controller feature. Add a configuration beside each position and verify the new configurations in Configuration Manager.
Learn to view mates for single or multiple components, isolate relationships, edit or suppress mates, and identify mate errors using View Mates and View Mate Errors in SolidWorks assemblies.
Explore five common SolidWorks mate errors—conflicting mates, in-context conflicts, design errors, concentric mate errors, and dangling geometry—and learn quick fixes to ensure valid assemblies.
In this SolidWorks Advanced Assembly Training course, expert author Asif Ahmed, Certified SolidWorks Expert (CSWE) will teach you how to manage complex assembly using a variety of tools in SolidWorks. This course is designed for intermediate users, meaning previous experience with SolidWorks assembly is required. If anyone wants to fill up his/her gap regarding the SolidWorks assembly topic, then this is also the right course for them.
Once you have completed this computer-based training course, you will be fully capable of using these tools and techniques to create your own complex assembly and get control perfectly using this 3D modeling software. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons. One quiz is also added to evaluate your skill after learning this course.
In this SolidWorks Advanced Assembly Training video tutorial series, you'll quickly have relevant skills for real-world applications.
