Computer Aided Engineering Design with SolidWorks is designed both for students taking SolidWorks courses at college and university and also for engineering designers involved or interested in using SolidWorks for real-life applications in manufacturing processes, mechanical systems and engineering analysis. The course material is divided into two parts. Part I covers the principles of SolidWorks, simple and advanced part modeling approaches, assembly modeling, drawing, configurations/design tables and surface modeling. Part II covers the applications of SolidWorks in manufacturing processes, mechanical systems and engineering analysis. The manufacturing processes applications include mold design, sheet metal parts design, die design, and weldments. The mechanical systems applications include routing: piping and tubing, gears, pulleys, and chains, cams and springs, mechanism design and analysis, threads and fastners, hinges and universal joints. The engineering analysis application includes finite element analysis. This text book is unique because it is one of the very few to thoroughly cover the applications of SolidWorks in manufacturing processes, mechanical systems and engineering analysis as presented in Part I. | Computer-aided Engineering Design With Solidworks by Godfrey C ONWUBOLU, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
