Each tutorial in the book teaches you to apply engineering graphics concepts when modeling real-world parts and assemblies. Learn how to model parts, configurations, create part prints, and assembly drawings. As you become more comfortable with SOLIDWORKS, later chapters introduce FEA, how to create more complex solid geometries with parametric modeling, how to apply tolerances, and how to use advanced and mechanical mates. Important commands and features are highlighted and defined in each chapter to help you become familiar with them.Included with this book is a complete, timed, and graded Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) practice exam.
