INTRODUCTION:-
• Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation,
modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
• In mechanical design it is known as mechanical design automation (MDA) or
computer-aided drafting (CAD)

The Importance of CAD Models in Manufacturing:-
• Before CAD, designers used paper, pencils, rulers, compasses, and other tools to go about their drafting. It
was cumbersome, time consuming, and a nuisance at times especially when there were changes being
made to the design.
• During the 1960s CAD was eventually developed originally for the purpose of designing automobiles.
After great success, the technology spread to other sectors in the manufacturing industry, and soon
reached the electronics and aerospace industry.

Dassault Systems: 3D Software Company
• "The 3DEXPERIENCE Company", is a European multinational software company that develops 3D design,
CAD/CAM software.
• Dassault Group created in 1981 by Avions Marcel Dassault to develop a new generation of computer-aided
• 1997: Dassault Systems acquired SolidWorks, a developer of mechanical design solutions
• Bernard Charlès (President and CEO)
• Total assets €6,311.4 million (end 2015)
• Number of employees:- 13,974

SolidWorks:-
• SOLIDWORKS is a solid modeling computer-
aided design (CAD) computer program.
SolidWorks is published by Dassault Systems.
• 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.
• According to the publisher, over two million
engineers and designers at more than 165,000
companies were using SolidWorks as of 2013.

MODELING METHOD:-
FEATURES/PARTS
• refers to the building blocks of the part. They are the shapes and operations that construct
the part. Shape-based features typically begin with a 2D or 3D sketch of shapes such
as,holes, slots, etc
• The Sketch consist of geometry such as points, lines,arcs,hyperbola and splines.

SolidWorks Command Manager
Command Manager:
SolidWorks Features toolbar
Extrude Boss/Base
The Extrude Boss/base is one of the most frequently used tools in SolidWorks, which enables to
convert a 2D sketch into 3D model. It helps to add material to your sketch files. It is represented by
icon
Revolve boss/base
The revolve feature enables to add materials to your 2D sketch by revolving a long as centerline or
axis. The revolve boss/base is actually rotate the sketch along an axis. It helps to create parts shows the
symmetry like cylinder, sphere, pulleys etc.
Sweep boss/base
It is sweep feature which sweeps a closed profile through a open or closed path for making solid
object. This feature helps to make solid part by guiding through a definite path.
Loft
It also helps to add materials between profiles in two directions to create solid object.
Extrude Cut
Unlike the extrude boss, the Extrude cut removes the material from 3D model by
using a closed sketch (circle or rectangle etc). You can do the cut in one or two
directions the using the property menu.
Revolved Cut
Using the Revolved Cut, you can remove the material by revolving a closed sketch around an axis.
Fillet
It creates round internal or external faces by using the edges of the solid model. You can control
the radius of the fillet from the property manager.
Rib
It adds this walled support to the solid body. You can also do it using the extrude boss, but
for saving the time, Rib options the best.
Linear Pattern
If you want to create series of hole in the body of model in linear manner, use
Linear Pattern.
Mirror
If you want to create the mirror of a model, use the Mirror feature.
Wraps
It helps to create a closed contour on the face of a solid body.
Shell
To create thin walled solid box, use the shell feature.
These are the features tools which are contained in the Solidworks Command
manager. These tools help to make solid 3D designs of various shapes or
profiles.
SURFACE MODELING
• Surfacing is used in CAD and other computer graphics software to describe the skin of a 3D geometric element,
freeform surfacing do not have rigid Radial dimensions, unlike regular surfaces such as planes cylinders and conic
surfaces.
• They are used to describe forms such as turbine blades, card bodies and boat hulls.

SHEET METAL
• To gain the flexibility to quick and cost-effectively
• Many industries require a wide range of sheet metal parts to house or enclose their design.
CPU MODEL
SHEET METAL MECHANISM
ASSEMBLY
• In an assembly, the analog to sketch relations are mates. Just as sketch relations define conditions such
as tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with respect to sketch geometry, assembly mates define
equivalent relations with respect to the individual parts or components, allowing the easy construction
of assemblies.
• SolidWorks also includes additional
advance mating features such as gear &
cam follower mates.
ASSEMBLY
Standard Mates
• In standard mates a relation is given between parts as per
requirements.
• Equivalent relation with respect to the individual parts or
components
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
STANDARD MATES
Assembled model
Mechanical Mates
• Mechanical Mates allows model assemblies to
accurately reproduce movement.
CAM GEAR
MECHANICAL MATES
HINGE RACK AND PINION
DRAWING
• Drawing can be created either from parts or assemblies. Views are automatically generated from the solid model, and
notes, dimension and tolerances can be easily added to the drawing as needed
• The drawing paper include most paper sizes.
