COURSE DESCRIPTION
SOLIDWORKS 2019 provides the breadth of tools to tackle the most complex problems, and the depth to finish critical detail work. New features help improve product development process to get innovative products into production faster.
SOLIDWORKS® is the most widely used 3D CAD package in education and industry today. Learning SOLIDWORKS helps to rise above one’s peers by developing the design and engineering skills needed to be successful for the next level. Whether opening an existing 3D model or drawing and extruding a sketch, SOLIDWORKS allows to work faster and smarter. With fully dimensioned, intelligent SOLIDWORKS models, one can open a design for something that already exists, make some changes—such as taking existing structural steel beams out and putting new beams in—and complete the project more quickly and easily.
This Course is ideally suited for Engineering, Design, Mechanical Engineering students.
