CAD 102 - Introduction to SolidWorks

3 Credit(s)

Uses the current version of SolidWorks software to introduce 3D design elements for creating parts, assemblies and engineering drawings. Applications are involved with basic parametric modeling related to the engineering design process using Design Intent. Basic 2D sketches are transformed into 3D parts. Those parts are modified and imported into assemblies which are then employed in custom drawing sheets.
