Solidworks 2019 Design Fundamentals Jaecheol Koh

This textbook explains how to create models with freeform surfaces using SOLIDWORKS 2019. SOLIDWORKS is a three dimensional CAD/CAM/CAE software developed by Dassault Systèms, France. This textbook is based on SOLIDWORKS 2019. Users of earlier releases can use this book with minor modifications. We provide files for exercises via our website. All files are in SOLIDWORKS 2018 so readers can open the files using later releases of SOLIDWORKS. It is assumed that readers of this textbook have no prior experience in using SOLIDWORKS for modeling 3D parts. This textbook is suitable for anyone interested in learning 3D modeling using SOLIDWORKS. Each chapter deals with the major functions of creating 3D features using simple examples and step by step self-paced exercises. Additional drawings of 3D parts are provided at the end of each chapter for further self exercises. The final exercises are expected to be completed by readers who have fully understood the content and completed the exercises in each chapter. Topics covered in this textbook- Chapter 1: Starting Solidworks - Chapter 2 and 3: Creating Extruded Feature, Hole, Boolean Operation- Chapter 4: Understanding Reference Geometries- Chapter 5: Detailing- Chapter 6: Parametric Editing- Chapter 7: Copying Objects- Chapter 8: Sweep and Loft- Chapter 9 and 10: Assembly Design- Chapter 11: Drafting
