1 Solid Modeling SolidWorks Layout ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 01

2 Solid Modeling In The Real World Mechanical and Aerospace engineers need solid models of jet engine components and assemblies to do analysis on for component strength under high stresses and temperatures. This method of analyzing components for strength is called finite element analysis and is growing more popular in industry as a tool for predicting part viability.

3 Today s Objectives Introduction to: Layout of SolidWorks Starting SolidWorks Part File Layout 2D Sketching SW01 Activity View Block First 2D Profile SW01 Application

4 Before Using SolidWorks it is Recommended that you Change the Icons Color 1. Select Tools/Options/Document Properties/Colors 4 2. Under Icon color, change the option from Default to Classic 3. To change Icons as shown below: Click to return to TOC

5 SolidWorks Layout An Introduction (At the end of this lesson you should be able to manipulate an already constructed SolidWorks Object and you are NOT expected to be able to create the object.) ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 01

6 SolidWorks Layout Starting SolidWorks Three Main Options Part File Layout Tool Ribbon 3D Part Creation Model Tree View Options Mouse Options

7 Starting SolidWorks Selecting File/New will bring up the following dialog box Also notice the Tutorials icon for extra help learning SolidWorks

8 SolidWorks Part File Layout Tool bar ribbon Model Tree View Options

9 SolidWorks Part File Layout Status Bar Information Line Units Control

10 SolidWorks Tool Ribbon Two most commonly used tabs: Features and Sketch Note these 2 commonly used drawing tools: 1) Line 2) Circle

11 Making an Object in SolidWorks 1. Draw a SKETCH using the 2D Drawing Tools 2. Operate on that Sketch using a Feature like Extrude Boss/Base or Extrude Cut or Revolve Boss/Base or Revolved Cut 3. Repeat Step 1 & 2 as required

12 SolidWorks 3D Part Creation The tool ribbon shows the tools available for creating 3D parts from 2D sketches

13 SolidWorks Model Tree The left hand side of your SolidWorks menu is known as the Model Tree Note that these items can be hidden by using Cleaning up the Model Tree Display found in the SolidWorks_Settings_and_Helpful_ Hints document. In a new part file it only shows the original 3 reference planes and the origin

14 SolidWorks Model Tree The Model Tree keeps track of the model creation by showing the sketches or features used in order from top to bottom Notice that the sketches are no longer shown once used for a feature but can be accessed by clicking the plus sign next to that feature

15 SolidWorks Viewing Options In the top middle of the workspace there is a view menu Top Viewing Option Layout Normal to view option orients to a selected plane or surface Left Front Bottom Right Back

16 SolidWorks Display Options The other icons control zoom, section views, display type and other advanced options Shadows and RealView Graphics (reflections) should be turned off before printing assignments

17 SolidWorks View Selector Cube The View Cube allows the user to see and select model views.

18 The View can also be changed by using the Hot Keys as follows: Isometric View Select FRONT Select Ctrl+8 TO GET FRONT VIEW Select Ctrl+7 to get ISO view Hit Esc to restore image

19 Changing An Object s Orientation The VIEW OPTIONS described earlier demonstrated how to re-orient your part to any of the head on views or to a single Isometric View, but if you wanted to view the part below in an Isometric View from the Y corner you need to perform a different operation! w z x y This part is an Isometric View from the X corner ( The green face is in the Front View) To create an Isometric from the Y corner we need to place the blue face in the Front View

20 Changing An Object s Orientation Left Click on BLUE Face To produce this image Select Ctrl + F8 to get Head On View Right Click on Part, then select Zoom/Pan/Rotate and finally View Orientation

21 Changing An Object s Orientation Click on Yes Select Update Standard Views And then select the Front View Click on X box to remove image Select Ctrl + F7 to get NEW Isometric View

22 SolidWorks Mouse Buttons Right Click and Select a View is a Selection Tool The 2 cd option is the Mouse Wheel Rotate wheel to zoom in/out on cursor Push down and hold the wheel and then move the mouse to rotate objects in 3 dimensions

23 Let s Make a Simple Object (This is to illustrate the procedure you will learn in later lessons on SolidWorks and you are not responsible for being able to perform these construction steps)

24 SolidWorks Layout Wrap Up Starting Solidworks 1. Part 2. Assembly 3. Drawing Part Layout 1. Tool Ribbon Features and Sketch 2. Model Tree 3. View Options Normal To 4. Mouse Shortcuts Application SW01: Modeling - SOLIDWORKS Part available

25 SolidWorks Layout Practice Open this file in SolidWorks and familiarize yourself with the view options as well as zooming in and out. Also become familiar with navigating with the middle mouse button Modeling - SOLIDWORKS Part available

26 Important Takeaways Layout of SolidWorks Tool Ribbon Model Tree View Options 2D Sketching Basic and Advanced Tools Modeling - SOLIDWORKS Part available The assignmentfrom todays class is to complete the Application SW01. In future class sessions there will be an Activity (SW0X) and an Application (SW0x).

27 SolidWorks Files: - Saving as PDFs or 3D PDFs - Creating and Manipulating 3D PDFs ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 01

28 Saving SolidWorks Files as PDFs to Produce Part Image Click on File/Print In the drop down list under NAME select PDF Report Writer Select OK and Save P R I N T To Produce thepdf Part Image S A V E. A S Click on File/Save As In the drop down list under Save as type select Adobe Portable Document Format Click on Save

29 Saving SolidWorks Files as PDFs to Produce Part Image + Tree Maximize the SolidWorks screen and then hit the Print Scrn key and paste image into a WORD document Click on the image and then select PICTURE TOOLS FORMAT/Wrap Text/Square. Click again on Wrap Text/In Front of Text. Enlarge the Image by using the mouse to pull on a corner of the Image and adjust the position Click on File/Save As and in the drop down list under Save as type select Adobe PDF. To Produce the PDF Part Image + Tree

30 Saving SolidWorks Files as 3D PDFs Click on File/Print In the drop down list under NAME select Adobe PDF Select #D Printing and then OK and Save To Produce the 3D PDF Part Image Note that the 3D PDF can be manipulated by grabbing the colored arrows at the bottom left of the Image
