STUDY OF CAD USING SOLIDWORKS

TECHNOLOGY OF CAD:
CAD - Computer Aided Design
CAD technology makes use of the computer to create drawings of parts and
assemblies on computer files, which can be further analyses and optimized.

REASONS FOR IMPLEMENTING CAD:

 To increase productivity of the designer

To improve the quality of design
To improve documentation
To create a database manufacturing

BENEFITS OF CAD

Productivity Improvement in Design:

CAD helps in increased productivity by reducing the time for developing conceptual
design,
analysis and drafting. It is also possible to reduce the manpower.
This depends on,
Complexity of the drawing.
Degrees of repetitiveness of features in parts.
Degree of symmetry in parts
Extensive use of defined shapes
Shorter Lead Time:
Using CAD systems a finite set of drawings and documentations can be prepared in
relatively
short time.
Flexibility in Design:
CAD offers the advantages of easy modification of design to accommodate
customer’s specific requirements.
Design Analysis:
The design analysis routines available in a CAD System help to optimize the
design
Fewer Design Errors:
Interactive CAD Systems have built in capability for avoiding errors in design,
drafting and documentation.

Standardization of Design and Drafting:

The single operating system in CAD provides a command basis for design,
analysis and drafting process. With interactive CAD, drawings are standardized.

Drawing More Understandable:

With the increase in the use of 3D views and solid modeling, it has become easier to
comprehend the features of the component readily. One does not have to reconstruct the
solid shape from 2D objects. Many software packages allow 3D view generation from a 2D
model.
Improved Procedures of Engineering Changes:
Control and implementations of engineering changes can be significantly and
improves with CAD.
Original drawings and reports are available and easily accessible.
Revised Information can be retained and new drawings with changes can be created
without destroying previous features.

Introduction to 3D Modeling Using Solid Works

Solidworks is a 3-D modeling tool. Unlike other 3-D modeling tools, Solidworks is not fully
three dimensional. Other programs allow the user to easily draw in three dimensional
space. In Solidworks, one draws in a plane and then extrudes solids from the plane. Planes
are used to obtain position in three dimensional space. It is possible to draw in three
PAGE 3 OF 23
dimensional space using Solidworks, but is very difficult. Therefore the best method of
creating three dimensional objects is using planes.

File types
The Default tab contains templates based on the units and drafting standard you selected
when you installed Solid Works.

Solid Works file types include:

Part (.ipt)
Assembly (.iam)
Drawing (.idw)

PAGE 4 OF 23
1.CREATING A NEW PART FILE
a. Go to File:New
b. Select Part
i. Solidworks files consist of parts and assemblies. Individual parts
ii. are made and combined together in an assembly
2.CHANGING UNITS
a. Go to Tools:Options
b. Click on Document Properties tab
c. Select Units from the tree on the l
3.CREATING A RECTANGLE
d. Click on Sketch
Sketches are drawings located on a plane
e. Click on Rectangle
f. Select Top Plane
g. Click and Drag to create the rectangle
h. Click the Return Button in top left corner

4.SIZING THE RECTANGLE

i. Select Sketch1
j. Right Click
k. Select Edit Sketch
Allows you to modify a sketch you have already drawn
l. Double Click the left side of the rectangle
A properties box appears where you can edit the starting and
iii. ending points, length, and angle of the line.
iv. Set the beginning point in the Y direction to -24
v. Set the ending point in the Y direction to 24
vi. Set the beginning point in the X direction to -24
e. Double Click the right side of the rectangle
vii. Set the beginning point in the X direction to 24

5.CREATING A SOLID
a. Click on Features
Features manipulate sketches and creates three dimensional solids
b. Click on Extruded Boss/Base
This creates a solid by extending a two dimensional sketch into
viii. three dimensions. The sketch can be extruded in either or both
ix. directions. It can also be extruded a specified distance or up to
x. another surface. The extrusion can also be tapered a specified
xi. number of degrees
c. Change the distance of D1 to 4.25
d. Click the direction arrow so that the normal vector is pointing in the
Negative Y direction
e. Click the check box

6.FILLETS
a. Click on Features:Fillet
b. Set fillet radius to .25
c. Select the four Top Edges
d. Click the check box

PAGE 5 OF 23
7. HOLLOWING THE BOTTOM
a. Click the bottom plane of the solid
b. Draw a 45x45 Rectangle centered on the plane
c. Click on Features:Extruded Cut
i. Extruded Cut is similar to Extruded Boss/Base, but is the opposite.
It takes a two dimensional sketch and removes part of a solid in the
third dimension.
d. Change the distance of D1 to 3.5
e. Click the check box

8. SAVING
a. Click on File:Save
b. Name file

9. CREATING AN ASSEMBLY
a. Click on File:New:Assembly with units of Inches
b. Insert the Table Top Part
c. Click on Insert:Component:Existing Part/Assembly
d. Insert the Leg Part
e. Click on Insert:Mate
f. Select the Left Circle of the hole in the Leg and the Inside of one
of the Left Circles on the table
g. Click the check box
h. Repeat for the three other legs
