Solidworks - The Designing Master

Image
SOLIDWORKS is a  3D solid modeling   Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), Computer-Aided Design   (CAD), and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software for a mechanical design automation application that lets designers quickly sketch out ideas, experiment with features, dimensions, produce models and detailed drawings. It is one of the fastest growing solid modeling software. SOLIDWORKS is published by   Dassault Systems and SOLIDWORKS Corporation was founded in December 1993 by   Massachusetts Institute of Technology   graduate Jon Hirschtick .   SOLIDWORKS released its first product   SOLIDWORKS 95 in November 1995 . In SOLIDWORKS, you can easily generate the 2D drawing views of the components. The drawing views that can be generated include detailed, orthographic, isometric, auxiliary, section, and other views. The bi-directional associative nature of this software ensures that any modification made in the model is automatically refle...

What is Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical engineering is a diverse subject that derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g.,  micro scale  sensors and inkjet printer nozzles) to large systems (e.g., spacecraft and machine tools). The role of a mechanical engineer is to take a product from an idea to the marketplace. In order to accomplish this, a broad range of skills are needed. The mechanical engineer needs to acquire particular skills and knowledge. He/she needs to understand the forces and the thermal environment that a product, its parts, or its subsystems will encounter; to design them for functionality, aesthetics, and the ability to withstand the forces and the thermal environment they will be subjected to; and to determine the best way to manufacture them and ensure they will operate without failure. Perhaps the one skill that is the mechanical engineer’s exclusive domain is the ability to analyze and design objects an...
