A Hands-On Introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2022 Text and Video Instruction SOLIDWORKS is the industry standard in 3D parametric modeling software making it an essential tool for anyone going into a wide variety of engineering and design industries. Specifically written for those who are new to SOLIDWORKS A Hands-On Introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2022 allows you to relax and learn as you follow an expert in SOLIDWORKS through the basics of the software to its more in-depth capabilities. Formerly called Project Based SOLIDWORKS this revised edition includes new and expanded tutorials. This book works perfectly for a freshman design class or as a companion text to an engineering graphics textbook. Each tutorial in the book teaches you how to use engineering graphics concepts while modeling real-world parts and assemblies. Learn how to model parts configurations create part prints and assembly drawings. As you become more comfortable with SOLIDWORKS later chapters introduce FEA how to create more complex solid geometries with parametric modeling apply tolerances and use advanced and mechanical mates. Important commands and features are highlighted and defined in each chapter to help you become familiar with them. Instructional videos for all the tutorials and the end-of-chapter problems come with the book so if you need more help or are a visual learner you can refer to them. Some problems are purposely left open ended to simulate real life design situations; therefore more than one solution is possible. After completing all the tutorials in this book you will be able to accurately design moderately difficult parts and assemblies and have a firm foundation in SOLIDWORKS. Why this book? Instructors and learners will appreciate the thoughtful and well-organized layout of A Hands-On Introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2022. Every chapter begins with the prerequisites needed to complete the tutorials found in the chapter and a list of what you will learn. You do not necessarily need to complete the tutorials within the book in order but make sure that you have the pre-requisite knowledge before you begin. Practice modeling problems and/or quiz problems at the end of each chapter offer an extra challenge and let you practice your newfound skills. Working with realistic part models and assemblies means that questions and problems might arise as they would when you are working on your real-life projects. The author anticipates these questions and how to address them. For example if you are in the wrong standard or not on the correct layer or an unexpected window appears on the screen tips and notes quickly remedy the issue. Work alongside the author using the instructional videos included for every tutorial and end-of chapter problems in the book. Information on new commands or steps appear at the beginning of each chapter. They include definitions of new features and concepts and images of how they look on the screen. Everything is clearly labeled for easy identification. Throughout the book readers are referred to the appropriate section of the chapter for more information on the command when needed. A command index at the back of the book lists where each command can be found for easy reference at any time. | A Hands-On Introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2022 Text and Video Instruction GBP 62.00 1

Engineering Graphics Principles with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Engineering Graphics Principles with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing embodies a practical experience and introduces a new approach for learning the basic concepts and applications of engineering graphics and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. The materials in the book and the accompanying digital download comply with the ASME Y14. 5M-1994 standard and use various instructional methods to heighten their effectiveness as a teaching and training tool. There are no prerequisites for using these materials. If you have had manual or CAD graphics or machine shop background in high school college or in an industrial application you may find some of the introductory materials repetitive and less challenging. However because all of the materials parallel the ASME Y14. 5M - 1994 standard there is a strong possibility that some portion of the information will be new and challenging to you. Engineering Graphics Principles with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is comprised of both a print book and digital content. A major portion of the instructional material is included on the digital download. The digital materials include exercises and self-evaluation materials. More than anything else these materials deal with modeling and defining part geometry on mechanical components and assemblies. Everything in the materials point to the importance of appropriate specification and control of part geometry including: dimensioning tolerancing and verification of geometric characteristics and relationships. The book begins with an abbreviated overview of the historical significance of graphics as a means of conveying and documenting design iterations and modeled configurations. However it stops short of philosophizing on the design process and cycles of design. Four specific modules have been designed to assist you in the introduction and/or review of basic concepts related to elements of view selection orientation projection and standards for defining geometry. These units focus on orthographic projection auxiliary views sectioning and coordinate dimensioning and tolerancing. GBP 53.99 1
