SolidWorks 2012 Tutor, 1st Edition

Give your students a guided tour of SolidWorks that can be tailored to match their individual pace, allowing you to progress easily and efficiently through the subject matter to teach what is truly important: using the software effectively. Harnessing the power of numerous and varied tutorial exercises, SOLIDWORKS 2012 TUTOR will take students through a series of steps required for the completion of a final product, whether it is a 3D part or an assembly file. Each chapter is arranged so that it builds upon the skills and commands covered in the chapters before, beginning with an introduction to the software and the basics of navigating the user interface. Coverage then progresses to creating sketches, then creating part files, and finally, creating assemblies. Using a combination of short, command-focused exercises and longer, more involved tutorial files, your students will find this a valuable tool for establishing a solid foundation in SolidWorks and then, once they have mastered that, for fine tuning their skills.
