Einstieg in SolidWorks

This book is an introduction to the world of Mechanical CAD: Through simple examples, the reader learns to use the software efficiently, design components, and assemble them into an assembly. It employs advanced techniques such as variant design and table control, top-down modeling, and plausibility checks. At the end, there are the document template and the DIN-compliant drawing. The 5th edition has been adapted to the latest version of SolidWorks. Numerous instructional videos provide the reader with a very illustrative training aid alongside the printed book. In these videos, the author demonstrates and explains the construction steps described in the book live in the SolidWorks working environment. These videos can be played on a PC using the included e-book or on mobile devices with mp4-compatible players. This gives the reader all the options to absorb the learning material in a way that suits them. The book covers the fundamentals of the 3D design environment SolidWorks 2020 and is also compatible with the Student Edition 2016-2018. It is aimed at engineers, technicians, skilled workers, students (including bachelor's degree students), and trainees in technical professions. Even school students and self-taught individuals can take their first steps into the CAD world with this book. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Susanne Labisch, FB Bionik, Hochschule Bremen: "A typically dry subject presented excellently - finally a book for the first steps!".
