Complete Solidworks Beginners Course

Learn Solidworks basics by drawing circles with center or perimeter options, arc types (center-point, tangent, three-point), and five rectangle methods (corner, center, three-point, three-point with center, parallelogram).

Apply dimensions with the smart dimension tool to fully constrain sketches, controlling distances, diameters, radii, and angles, and observe the fully defined status bar.

learn linear and circular sketch patterns in SolidWorks, using entities to pattern, adjust direction, number of objects, gaps, and radius, and skip instances for efficient multi-pattern designs.

Learn to use the chamfer tool in SolidWorks to create edge and face chamfers with angle and distance, equal or unequal, tangent propagation, and offset options.

Discover how to use the mass properties tool to view density, mass, volume, and surface area, apply materials to one or multiple bodies, and adjust units.

Learn to create a linear pattern in SolidWorks by selecting direction from edges or planes, adjusting spacing and instances, and using pattern seed, up to reference, and offset distance.

Explore features and bodies in SolidWorks, learning to create, manage, and modify separate bodies, use merge and combine tools, and propagate changes across copies.

Explore how to mirror parts in SolidWorks using faces, features, and bodies to create symmetric copies, compare mirror feature versus using metal feature, and see how changes propagate.

Learn to create a table driven pattern in SolidWorks by importing a text file with x and y coordinates, setting a coordinate system, and duplicating bodies by centroid.

Create sweeps in Solidworks using the selection manager to select edge groups and loops, then align the profile along the path and refine end-face alignment.

Learn how to sweep a profile along a 3D path in SolidWorks, using a sketch profile, guide curves, and start/end tangency to control tangency and twist.

Combine multiple 3-D sketches into a single composite curve to simplify sweeping complex profiles, then sweep the composite curve to create a 3D sketch.

Master the loft feature by connecting multiple sketches to create a flower vase solid, control connectors and start and end constraints, including normal to profile and direction vector.

Master loft options in SolidWorks by using equal segment counts or adding segments with the segment tool, and adjust tangency, close lofts, and previews for clean, analyzable 3d surfaces.

Explore strengthening a plate in SolidWorks by adding rib features as internal supporting structures. Create ribs from sketches, adjust thickness and direction, and use patterns or contours with draft angles.
