1 SolidWorks 2015 User Interface SolidWorks a Dassault Systèmes Product

2 Starting SolidWorks 1) On the desktop, double-click or from the start menu select: All Programs SOLIDWORKS 2015 SOLIDWORKS ) Wait for program to start. 3) Press ( File New ) or ( File Open. 4) When creating a new file: 1) Select to create a new part or to create a new assembly and press OK. 2) Press Document Properties (tab) Units and ensure that the correct unit system has been selected. 2

3 Selecting an Application Press (down triangle) Add-Ins and ensure that the application of interest is selected (or Press SOLIDWORKS Add-Ins (tab) and select application of interest). SolidWorks Applications: Solid Modeling: Features and Sketch Assembly Modeling: Assembly and Layout Drafting: Drawing Finite Element Analysis Simulation Mechanism Simulation Motion Computational Fluid Dynmcs Flow Simulation Many other specialized applications The application controls what buttons are available. 3

4 Getting Help 1. Online tutorials: (down triangle) SOLIDWORKS Tutorials 2. YouTube tutorials: search for keywords 3. Context-sensitive help: Click on in corner of property manager window 4. Online documentation: (down triangle) SOLIDWORKS Help or just click on. 5. See instructor. 4

5 User Interface Layout From SolidWorks online documentation. 5

6 Viewing Modes & Control Dynamic View Control: Rotate: Use middle mouse button to rotate Pan: Use control key & middle mouse button Zoom: Use mouse wheel to zoom Use to fit objects to screen Use 3D mouse: push/pull for zoom, left/right/up/down for pan, twist for rotate View Orientation: top, front, right, back, isometric,... Use for a variety of controls Render Style: shaded, wireframe, hidden lines removed Use for a variety of controls 6

7 Accessing the Part History Press this tab: Get this window (the Feature Manager): Right-click to perform actions on features. 7

8 Using the Mouse Left button click: pick a location, object or button Multiple objects can be selected (hold down Ctrl key). Select an object again to unselect it. Use right-click Select Other if its not selecting correct object. Left button hold & drag: drag selection box corner menu/option-control select Middle button: Viewing control Right button click: context-sensitive drop-down menu drag for gesture recognition 8

9 Actions and Object Selection There are two themes for selecting objects: 1) Pick objects then select action 2) Select action then pick objects Most Office software uses (1) CAD software uses combination of (1) & (2) When multiple objects must be selected, you can go back to a previous step by clicking on the button or box for that step. 9

10 Selection Filtering Some operations allow you to control what you are selecting with buttons on the side of the list box. Select Entire Part Select Face Select Surface Select Body Select Feature 10

11 Controlling Object Appearance The visual appearance of objects can be controlled by clicking on. Can control: Line styles Color Transparency, shininess Surface textures or pictures 11

12 Using Layers Layers can be used to organize graphical objects into groups Each layer has a name. All objects in the same layer can be changed at the same time: Display styles (color, line width) Show or hide Some companies have standards for how layers need to be used. (We will not be using layers in this course.) 12

13 Basic Solid Modeling Process 1) Define reference planes 2) Create sketch on a plane 3) Draw curves in sketch 4) Constrain and dimension curves 5) Perform Sweep 6) Repeat 2-5 a few times to get basic shape. 7) Shell the basic shape if necessary. 8) Add fillets and rounding. 13
