This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the main functions of SOLIDWORKS 2010 and its usage skills through typical examples. This book explains the basic knowledge of SOLIDWORKS in the beginner's Zen chapter, referring to geometry, basic features, scanning and cutting off scan features, lofting, cutting lofts and freeform features; In the advanced section, it covers rib and hole features, decorative features, deformation features, pattern and fastening features, feature operations, curves and surfaces; In the actual combat chapter, we will explain the design of commonly used parts, parts assembly, and comprehensive examples of face steamer design. In the process of learning to dig the ant, readers can grasp the use methods and skills of SOLIDWORKS 2010 step by step.

The CD-ROM accompanying to this book contains the example model materials in the book to facilitate the reader's understanding and mastery of the relevant knowledge. Readers can operate while reading the book, deepen their memory and understanding, and draw inferences from one another, so as to master the modeling methods of medium and advanced difficulty, improve the efficiency of modeling, apply the knowledge they have learned to actual production, display products, and exchange design ideas. This book has a low learning threshold and can be used by CAD beginners for SOLIDWORKS introductory learning, and the advanced and practical chapters in the book have quite strong practicability, which is suitable for intermediate and advanced readers to refer to and learn.

This book can be used as a CAD CAM course textbook for colleges and universities or training courses, and can also be used as a reference for engineering and technical personnel and CAD CAM research and application personnel.

SOLIDWORKS is a very excellent 3D design software, because of its easy-to-learn and easy-to-use, full Chinese interface and moderate characteristics, attracting more and more engineering technicians and 3D designers to use. The purpose of this book is to provide beginners with self-study materials, so that they can quickly get started and apply them to practical work. For intermediate and advanced readers, you can use the advanced and practical content of the book to carry out relevant advanced engineering design. This book has the following 4 features:

1) The language is concise, mainly using diagrams and examples to vividly explain the common functions of SOLIDWORKS 2010. (2) Embed important knowledge points into examples in combination with specific operations, so that readers can learn and use them step by step, operate while watching, and move their eyes, brains, and hands, which is in line with the laws of educational psychology and learning. The book's accompanying CD-ROM also includes answers to the hands-on exercises, making it easier for readers to learn.

3) The book reflects the new features of SOLIDWORKS 2010. (4) It conforms to the spirit of the times and embodies the divergent thinking method commonly used in innovative education - one problem with multiple solutions. The data in the book is in millimeters (mm), and the options not shown in the figure are default.

When the reader follows the model in the book, if the operation is wrong, the feature name can be modified to make it consistent with the companion CD. The algorithm of some commands changes after each version of SOLIDWORKS is upgraded, so it is possible that the model made in the lower version is just open in the higher version, and the remodeling will be wrong if no modifications are made. Therefore, the reader should pay attention to the software version used, and of course modify the lower version of the model to make it common in the higher version.
