2. SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS (ORIGINALLY SOLIDWORKS) IS SOLID MODELING CAD (COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN)
SOFTWARE THAT RUNS ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS AND IS SINCE 1997 PRODUCED BY DASSAULTSYSTÈMES
SOLIDWORKS CORP., A SUBSIDIARY OF DASSAULTSYSTÈMES, S. A. (VÉLIZY, FRANCE). SOLIDWORKS IS
CURRENTLY USED BY OVER 2 MILLION ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS AT MORE THAN 165,000 COMPANIES
WORLDWIDE. FY2011 REVENUE FOR SOLIDWORKS WAS 483 MILLION DOLLARS.

3. COMMANDS IN SOLID WORKS
• LINE
• RECTANGLE
• RIB
• SWEEP
• SLOT
• RELATION
• RE-DESIGN
• CONTROL
• EXTRUDE
• LOFT: LOFT IS USEFUL FOR BUILDING A SURFACE THROUGH DISSIMILAR PROFILES OR
BOUNDING A FOUR SIDED SHAPE USING THE OPTION OF GUIDE CURVES.
• FILL: FILL IS A “CATCH-ALL” FOR AREAS THAT CANNOT BE DEFINED USING LOFT AND SWEEP. IT
SHOULD BE THE ONLY CONSIDERATION WHEN NEEDING TO “FILL” 3 SIDED OR 5 OR MORE
SIDED AREAS.
• BOUNDARY: IT IS MUCH LIKE LOFT EXCEPT THAT IT DOES TREATS THE FIRST AND SECOND
DIRECTIONS EQUALLY. LOFT PROFILES HAVE INFLUENCE OVER THE GUIDE CURVES WHICH
SOMETIMES PRODUCES UN-PREDICTABLE AND UNDESIRED BEHAVIOR. IT ALSO CAN MATCH
ADJACENT SURFACES CURVE CONTINUOUSLY ON ALL SIDES.
• FREEFORM: IT IS FOR MODIFYING AN EXISTING SURFACE BY PUSHING AND PULLING ON IT
WITH CONTROL CURVES AND POINTS.

4. INTERFACING TO SOLIDWORKS
INTERFACING PLANES:
• FRONT PLANE
• TOP PLANE
• RIGHT PLANE

5. EXTRUDE

6. ISOMETRIC PLANE

7. An extensive set of modeling tools for complex shapes

8.  Dissimilar or multiple profiles/Guides and
need it to be solid: Use Loft
 Similar profiles but change along length of
shape: Use Sweep
 Three or five or more boundaries: Use Fill
 For high quality surfaces-only and C2 in both
directions: Use Boundary
 For modifying surfaces dynamically and
without sketches: Use Freeform
WHICH SURFACE FEATURE TO USE?

9. BOUNDARY INTRODUCTION
FEATURES:
• UNLIKE LOFT, THERE IS NOT INFLUENCE OF CURVE DIRECTION 1 OVER CURVE DIRECTION 2.
• BECAUSE OF THIS C2 MATCHING CAN BE APPLIED TO ALL SIDES.

10. BOUNDARY INTRODUCTION
FEATURES:
• CAN CREATE SURFACES
WITH ONLY 1 CURVE IN
EACH DIRECTION
