| SolidWorks® 2008 Basic Training |
| Course Outline : Day 1 |
- SolidWorks Overview
An introduction to SolidWorks modeling concept and user interface.
- Introduction to Sketching
Create basic sketch functions. Establish sketch relations between pieces of geometry. Understand the state of the sketch and the rule that govern the sketch.
- Basic Part Modeling
Choose the best profile for sketching and the proper sketch plane. Create basic feature like extrude boss, extrude cut, and fillet. Make a change to a dimension.
- Modeling a Casting or Forging
Create fully defined sketches through the use of dimensions and geometric relationships. Use the view display and modification commands. Copy and paste features.
- Patterning
Use several different types of patterns. Use geometry patterns properly.

| Course Outline : Day 2 |
- Revolved Features
Create revolved features. Apply special dimensioning techniques to sketches for revolved features. Calculate the physical properties of a part.
- COSMOSXpress
Students are taught how to implement rudimentary stress analysis to parts.
- Part Editing
Diagnose various problems in a part and repair them. Utilize all the available tools to edit and make changes to a part.
- Configuration of Parts
Using configurations to represent different versions of a part within a single SolidWorks file.
- Design Tables and Equations
Link dimensions values together to capture design intent. Create equations. Automatically create design tables. Use design tables to create families of parts.
- Design Library
Create new library features. Insert library features. Modify existing library features.

| Course Outline : Day 3 |
- Shelling and Ribs
Apply draft to model faces. Perform shelling operations to hollow out a part. Use rib tool. Create reference planes.
- Bottom-up Assembly Modeling
Create a new assembly. Insert components into an assembly using all available techniques. Add mating relationships between components. Utilize the assembly-specific aspects of the FeatureManager design tree to manipulate and manage the assembly. Insert sub-assemblies. Use part configurations in an assembly.
- Using Assemblies
Perform mass properties calculations and interference detection. Perform design verification using Physical dynamics and Physical simulations. Create an exploded view of an assembly. Add exploded lines.

| Course Outline : Day 4 |
- Drawing Sheets and Views
Create a drawing file and drawing sheet with sheet format. Add many types of drawing views of parts.
- Adding Dimensions and Annotations
Add center marks, centerlines, and other annotations. Insert and manipulate driven and driving dimensions. Add layers to the SolidWorks drawing.
- Drawings Sheets and Templates
Set document properties. Create and save a sheet format. Create and save a drawing template. Use the DWGEditor.
- Assembly Drawing Views
Add many types of assembly drawing views. Create exploded drawing views. Hide components in the drawing view.
- Bill of Materials and Tables
Create a customized bill of materials (BOM) template. Modify a BOM. Control the ordering of components in BOM. Add a hole and revision table.
- eDrawings
Create eDrawings of SolidWorks files.
