Product Description
Engineering Design with SolidWorks 2010 & Multi-media CD is written to assist students, designers, engineers and professionals. The book provides a solid foundation in SolidWorks by utilizing projects with Step-by-Step instructions for the beginning to intermediate SolidWorks user. Explore the user interface, CommandManager, menus, toolbars and modeling techniques to create parts, assemblies and drawings in an engineering environment. Follow the Step-by-Step instructions and develop multiple parts and assemblies that combine machined, plastic and sheet metal components. Formulate the skills to create, modify and edit sketches and solid features. Learn the techniques to reuse features, parts, and assemblies through symmetry, patterns, copied components, Design tables, Bills of Materials, Properties and Configurations. Address various SolidWorks analysis tools: SimulatinoXpress, SustainabilityXpress and DFMXpress. Learn by doing, not just by reading! Desired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for each project. Know your objective up front. Follow the steps in Project 1 through Project 7 to achieve the design goals. Work between multiple documents, features, commands and custom properties that represent how engineers and designers utilize SolidWorks in industry. Review individual features, commands and tools for each project with the enclosed Multi-media CD. Each project contains exercises. The exercises analyze and examine usage competencies. Collaborate with leading industry suppliers such as SMC Corporation of America, Boston Gear and 80/20 Inc. Collaborative information translates into numerous formats such as paper drawings, electronic files, rendered images and animations. On-line intelligent catalogs guide designers to the product that meets both their geometric requirements and performance functionality. The authors developed the industry scenarios by combining their own industry experience with the knowledge of engineers, department managers, vendors and manufacturers. These professionals are directly involved with SolidWorks everyday. This book is designed to compliment the SolidWorks Tutorials contained in SolidWorks 2010. Separate editions of this textbook are available for SolidWorks 99, 2000, 2001, 2001Plus, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. Table of Contents

I am going to college and taking this class. The book, of course, is required, but it is very user friendly. The book walks you through each step and gives you tips for the functions. Very satisfied.
A great Solidwork classroom book February 21, 2010

I'm constantly impressed with the consistent quality, yearly feature updates, technical contents and instructor support materials of this book - Engineering Design with SolidWorks.
I've used this book in my freshmen engineering class and evening adult education class for the past six years. By far, this is the finest Solidworks classroom book on the market today. The bonus multimedia CD is a real plus for any new user.
The authors do a brilliant task in covering the engineering design basics: Visualization, sketching, proper base plane selection, design intent, part modeling, drawings, assemblies and analysis. The new sections in Sustainability and DFM is great.
A lot of the homework problems in this book are directly aligned to the entry level SolidWorks certification exam (CSWA). For my advance Solidworks class, I use their CSWA Certification book. Classic modeling examples are provided and illustrated throughout for simple and complex parts and assemblies. I had the pleasure to meet Marie Planchard at Solidworks world this year. She has a passion for education and students.
