Introducing Solid Works

This document introduces SolidWorks and provides instructions on how to change a part file from inches to metric units. It then discusses key SolidWorks concepts like sketches, features, assemblies, and drawings. It provides details on creating a pressure vessel assembly with three main parts - the vessel body, manhole cover, and lifting support. Dimensioned drawings are created of the three parts and overall assembly.

How to Changes to metrics units
There is time we need to change our parts to metric
units, but how? Its very simple just few clicks its done.
First click Option on top of main menu

open Document Properties tab,

select Units in menu tree and check MMGS


(millimeter, gram, second ).

Sketches
o The sketch is the basis for most 3D models.
o Creating a model usually begins with a sketch. From
the sketch, you can create features. You can
combine one or more features to make a part. Then,
you can combine and mate the appropriate parts to
create an assembly. From the parts or assemblies,
you can then create drawings.
o A sketch is a 2D profile or cross section. To create a
2D sketch, you use a plane or a planar face. In
addition to 2D sketches, you can also create 3D
sketches that include a Z axis, as well as the X and Y
axes.
o There are various ways of creating a sketch. All
sketches include the following elements: (1) Origin, (2)
Planes, (3) Dimension, and (4) Relation.
Origin
Planes
Dimensions
You can specify dimensions between entities such as
lengths and radii. When you change dimensions, the
size and shape of the part changes. Depending on how
you dimension the part, you can preserve the design
intent.
The software uses two types of dimensions: driving
dimensions and driven dimensions.
Driving dimensions change the size of the model
when you change their values.
The value of driven
dimensions changes when you modify driving
dimensions or relations in the model. You cannot
modify the values of driven dimensions directly unless
you convert them to driving dimensions.
