The interface is how you interact with the computer in the following ways:

Use windows to view files. Use the mouse to select buttons, menus, and model elements. Run programs like SolidWorks mechanical design software. Find, open, and work with files. Create, save, and copy files.

Microsoft Windows
SolidWorks runs on the Microsoft Windows graphical user interface. Windows let you see the work of an application program. Panels are sub sections of windows. Illustration shows one window with two panels.

Using the Mouse


The mouse lets you move around the interface. The cursor is the pointer that shows you where the mouse is on the screen. Click the left mouse button to select commands, buttons, geometry, and other elements. Double-click the left mouse button to quickly open a file or folder. Click the right mouse button to access a shortcut menu of frequently used commands.

Running Programs
The quickest way to start a program is to double-click on a desktop shortcut. Some programs may not have desktop shortcuts. The Programs menu lists all of the application programs resident on the computer.

Exit a Program
Select or click File, Exit to end a program. If the file has unsaved changes, you have the chance to save the them before exiting.

Searching for a File or Folder


Type search criteria into search box. Use * to perform wild card searches.

Wild Card Searches


Search for all files of a particular type by searching for the file type suffix. Example: *.SLDPRT Search for all files that begin the same. Example: bearing* Search for all files that have common letters in the file name. Example *plate*

Opening a File
The quickest way to open a file is to double-click on it. The File menu displays your most recently used files.

Saving and Copying Files


Saving a file preserves the changes that you have made to it. Use File, Save As to copy a file. File, Save As creates an exact duplicate of the file as it existed at the moment that you copied it.

You build parts from features. What are features? Answer: Features are the shapes (bosses, cuts and holes) and the operations (fillets, chamfers and shells) that are use to build a part. Name the features that are used to create the Binding Anchor in Lesson 2. Answer: Extruded Boss, Fillet and Extruded Cut. How do you begin a new part document? Answer: Click the New tool or click File, New. Select a part template. Give two examples of shape features that require a sketched profile. Answer: Shape features are Extruded Boss, Extruded Cut, and Hole. Give an example of an operation feature that requires a selected edge or face. Answer: Operation features are Fillet or Chamfer. Name the three documents that make up a SolidWorks model. Answer: Parts, assemblies and drawings What is the default sketch plane? Answer: The default sketch plane is Front. What is a plane? Answer: A plane is a flat 2D surface. How do you create an extruded boss feature? Answer: Select a sketch plane. Open a new sketch. Sketch the profile. Extrude the profile perpendicular to the sketch plane. Why do you create and use document templates? Answer: Document templates contain the units, grid and text setting for the model. You can create Metric and English templates, each with different settings. What is a section view? Answer: A section view shows the part as if it were cut into two pieces.

What is SolidWorks?
Mountainboard - Lesson 2 Basic Functionality

SolidWorks is design automation software. In SolidWorks, you sketch ideas and experiment with different designs to create 3D models. SolidWorks is used by students, designers, engineers, and other professionals to produce simple and complex parts, assemblies, and drawings.

Features
Features are the building blocks of the part. Features are the shapes and operations that construct the part.

Examples of Shape Features


Base Feature First feature in part. Created from a 2D sketch. Forms the work piece to which other features are added.

Cut feature Removes material from part. Created from 2D sketch.

Examples of Shape Features


Hole feature Removes material. Works like more intelligent cut feature. Corresponds to process such as counter-sink, thread, counter-bore.

Examples of Shape Features


Fillet feature Used to round off sharp edges. Can remove or add material.
o Outside edge (convex fillet) removes material. o Inside edge (concave fillet) adds material.

Examples of Shape Features


Chamfer feature Similar to a fillet. Bevels an edge rather than rounding it. Can remove or add material.

Sketched Features & Operation Features

Sketched Features Shape features have sketches. Sketched features are built from 2D profiles. Operation Features Operation features do not have sketches. Applied directly to the work piece by selecting edges or faces.

Dimensions and Geometric Relationships


Specify dimensions and geometric relationships between features and sketches. Dimensions change the size and shape of the part. Mathematical relationships between dimensions can be controlled by equations. Geometric relationships are the rules that control the behavior of sketch geometry. Geometric relationships help capture design intent.
