This book was created for an introductory undergraduate course in parametric solid (3D) modeling using Solidworks© Release 2019 at Butler County Community College (BC3) located in Butler, PA. The chapters give an overview of the modeling tools used by technologists in industry to create parametric models of mechanical parts.
This book is used as an instructional supplement to the textbook adopted for this course:
Tickoo, Sham. Solidworks© 2019 for Designers. CADCIM Technologies, 2019.
The chapters contained in this text are aligned with the corresponding chapters in the adopted textbook. However, because the concepts and techniques discussed in this supplemental text are general in nature, it could be used with any existing introductory Solidworks©-based engineering graphics textbook or used with no accompanying textbook at all.
There are instructional media included within most chapters to assist the student during the learning process.
