This class furthers the student’s understanding of parametric 3D design, and builds upon the concepts introduced in SolidWorks I. Students will learn advanced modeling techniques to create more complex parts incorporating organic shapes not easily achieved with the basic core features. Advanced assemblies will now be constructed using joint connections between components, constituting a basic mechanism. The student will perform kinematic (motion) studies using these mechanized assemblies to analyze the feasibility of the design. Large assembly management techniques will be taught. Drawing and design concepts will continue to be developed, using more advanced methods. Lab exercises reinforce these learned concepts, while incorporating industry best practices and standards.
