This book will teach you everything you need to know to start using SOLIDWORKS 2018 with easy-to-understand, step-by-step tutorials. This book features a simple robot design used as a project throughout the book. You will learn to model parts, create assemblies, run simulations, and even create animations of your robot design.

No previous experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD) is needed, since this book starts at an introductory level. The author begins by getting you familiar with the SOLIDWORKS interface and its basic tools right away. You will start by learning to model simple robot parts, and before long, you will graduate to creating more complex parts and multi-view drawings.

Along the way, you will learn the fundamentals of parametric modelling through the use of geometric constraints and relationships. You will also become familiar with many of SOLIDWORKS's powerful tools and commands that enable you to easily construct complex features in your models. Also included is coverage of gears, gear trains, and spur gear creation using SOLIDWORKS.
