SolidWorks SoftwareUnderstanding SolidWorks FeaturesPeters Township High SchoolMr. Burns & Mr. WalshCADD Online
What is SolidWorks?SolidWorks is design automation software.In SolidWorks, you sketch ideas and experiment with different designs to create 3D models.SolidWorks is used by students, designers, engineers, and other professionals to produce simple and complex parts, assemblies, and drawings.
The SolidWorks ModelThe SolidWorks model is made up of:          Parts          Assemblies          Drawings
PartPartAssemblyDrawingDrawingThe SolidWorks Model
FeaturesFeatures are the building blocks of the part.Features are the shapesand operationsthat construct the part.
Examples of Shape FeaturesBase FeatureFirst feature in part.Created from a 2D sketch.Forms the work piece to which other features are added.
Examples of Shape FeaturesBoss featureAdds material to part.Created from 2D sketch.
Examples of Shape FeaturesCut featureRemoves material from part.Created from 2D sketch.
Examples of Shape FeaturesHole featureRemoves material.Works like more intelligent cut feature.Corresponds to process such as counter-sink, thread, counter-bore.
Examples of Shape FeaturesFillet featureUsed to round off sharp edges.Can remove or add material.Outside edge (convex fillet) removes material.Inside edge (concave fillet) adds material.
Examples of Shape FeaturesChamfer featureSimilar to a fillet.Bevels an edge rather than rounding it.Can remove or add material.
Sketched Features & Operation FeaturesSketched FeaturesShape features have sketches.Sketched features are built from 2D profiles.Operation FeaturesOperation features do not have sketches.Applied directly to the work piece by selecting edges or faces.
To Create an Extruded Base Feature:Select the sketch planeExtrude the sketchResulting base featureSketch the 2D profileSelect a sketch plane.Sketch a 2D profile.Extrude the sketch perpendicular to sketch plane.
To Create a Revolved Base Feature:Centerline (optional)Select a sketch plane.Sketch a 2D profile.Sketch a centerline (optional).Revolve the sketch arounda sketch line or centerline.

Terminology: PropertyManagerPreviewConfirmationcornerPropertyManagerHandle
Terminology: Basic GeometryAxisPlaneOriginAxis - An implied centerline that runs through every cylindrical feature.Plane - A flat 2D surface.Origin - The point where the three default reference planes intersect. The coordinates of the origin are:	(x = 0, y = 0, z = 0).
Terminology: Basic GeometryVertexEdgeEdgeFacesFace         The surface or skin of a part. Faces can be flat or curved.Edge         The boundary of a face. Edges can be straight or curved.Vertex         The corner where edges meet.
Features and CommandsBase featureThe Base feature is the first feature that is created.The Base feature is the foundation of the part.The Base feature geometry for the box is an extrusion.The extrusion is named Extrude1.
Features and CommandsFeatures used to build the box are:Extruded Base featureFillet featureShell featureExtruded Cut feature1.Base Feature2.Fillet Feature3.Shell Feature4.Cut Feature
Features and CommandsTo create the extruded base feature for the box:Sketch a rectangular profile on a 2D plane.Extrude the sketch.By default extrusions are perpendicular to the sketch plane.
Features and CommandsFillet featureThe fillet feature rounds the edges or faces of a part.Select the edges to be rounded. Selecting a face rounds all the edges of that face.Specify the fillet radius.Fillet
Wall ThicknessFeatures and CommandsShell featureThe shell feature removes material from the selected face.Using the shell feature creates a hollow box from a solid box.Specify the wall thicknessfor the shell feature.
Features and CommandsTo create the extruded cut feature for the box:Sketch the 2D circular profile.Extrude the 2D Sketch profile perpendicular to the sketch plane.Enter Through All for the end condition.The cut penetrates through the entire part.
Dimensions and Geometric RelationshipsSpecify dimensions and geometric relationships between features and sketches.Dimensions change the size and shape of the part.Mathematical relationships between dimensions can be controlled by equations.Geometric relationships are the rules that control the behavior of sketch geometry.Geometric relationships help capture design intent.
DimensionsDimensionsBase depth = 50 mmBoss depth = 25 mmMathematical relationshipBoss depth = Base depth  2
Geometric RelationshipsHorizontalVerticalParallelIntersectionTangentConcentricPerpendicular
To Start SolidWorksClick the Start button          on Windows task bar.Click Programs.
Click the SolidWorks folder.
Click the SolidWorks application.The SolidWorks Window
Creating New Files Using TemplatesClick New      on the Standard toolbar.Select a document template:PartAssemblyDrawingTutorial Tab
