Introduction to SolidWorks

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is very thorough and each section is explained very clearly. There are a number of examples in each chapter and then exercises at the end which should ensure that students continue to build on their knowledge. There will also be a link on the publisher's website which will give access to examples for download. It is an ideal reference book for those seeking to either learn SolidWorks or advance their skills to the highest level."
-David Tanner, University of Limerick, Ireland

"The textbook provides an impressive coverage of the various drawing and design tools of SolidWorks. Obviously the book is an outcome of an extensive and meticulous work by an erudite in the domains of CAD and 3D printing. The extent of covered topics goes far beyond the basic SolidWorks capabilities, covering many advanced tools and features, such as finite element analysis, die design, power transmission elements, cam design, routing in piping and tubing, etc. The integration of 3D printing and SolidWorks modeling under one title offers a wider perspective to the interested readers.

The author presents the content in a plain and clear, yet detailed and all-inclusive writing style. This makes the book an excellent resource for users who are just starting with SolidWorks, as well as for users who would like to extend their knowledge in SolidWorks and are in need of applying it for specific applications.

By providing numerous tutorials and examples, the users are guided step-by-step through the design process in an organized manner. Exercises at the end of chapters provide ample opportunities for practicing and refining the acquired skills."

"The book shows a comprehensive introduction to SolidWorks. The material within the text is laid out in a way that demonstrates all the essential features of SolidWorks in a clear and cogent manner. The material is organized in a way that each chapter builds on the material of the previous chapters allowing students to experience all aspects of the software. The interspersed tutorials are useful because they allow the student to apply those skills gained immediately with step by step guidance.
