The use of solid modeling techniques allows for the automation of several difficult engineering
calculations that are carried out as a part of the design process. Simulation, planning, and
verification of processes such as machining and assembly were one of the main catalysts for
the development of solid modeling. More recently, the range of supported manufacturing
applications has been greatly expanded to include sheet metal manufacturing, injection
molding, welding, pipe routing etc. Beyond traditional manufacturing, solid modeling
techniques serve as the foundation for rapid prototyping, digital data archival and reverse
engineering by reconstructing solids from sampled points on physical objects, mechanical
analysis using finite elements, motion planning and NC path verification, kinematic and
dynamic analysis of mechanisms, and so on. A central problem in all these applications is the
ability to effectively represent and manipulate three-dimensional geometry in a fashion that is
consistent with the physical behaviour of real artefacts. Solid modeling research and
development has effectively addressed many of these issues, and continues to be a central focus
of computer-aided engineering.
The historical development of solid modellers has to be seen in context of the whole history of
CAD, the key milestones being the development of the research system BUILD followed by
its commercial spin-off Romulus which went on to influence the development of Parasolid,
ACIS and Solid Modeling Solutions. Other contributions came from Mäntylä, with his GWB
and from the GPM project which contributed, among other things, hybrid modeling techniques
at the beginning of the 1980s.
The modeling of solids is only the minimum requirement of a CAD system capabilities. Solid
modellers have become commonplace in engineering departments in the last ten years due to
faster computers and competitive software pricing. Solid modeling software creates a virtual
3D representation of components for machine design and analysis. A typical graphical user
interface includes programmable macros, keyboard shortcuts and dynamic model
manipulation. The ability to dynamically re-orient the model, in real-time shaded 3-D, is
emphasized and helps the designer maintain a mental 3-D image.
A solid part model generally consists of a group of features, added one at a time, until the model
is complete. Engineering solid models are built mostly with sketcher-based features; 2-D
sketches that are swept along a path to become 3-D. These may be cuts, or extrusions for
example. Design work on components is usually done within the context of the whole product
using assembly modeling methods. An assembly model incorporates references to individual
part models that comprise the product.

3. INTRODUCTION TO SOLIDWORKS
3.1 Introduction
SOLIDWORKS, developed by the SOLIDWORKS Corporation, USA, is a feature-based,
parametric solid-modeling mechanical design and automation software. SOLIDWORKS is the
first CAD package to use the Microsoft Windows graphic user interface. The use of the drag
and drop (DD) functionality of Windows makes this CAD package extremely easy to learn.
The Windows graphic user interface makes it possible for the mechanical design engineers to
innovate their ideas and implement them in the form of virtual prototypes or solid models, large
assemblies, subassemblies, and detailing and drafting.
• Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 (64 bit only) or Windows 7 (SP1
required).
• Intel or AMD Processor with SSE2 support.
• 2 GB RAM minimum (8 GB recommended).
• Hard disk space 5 GB minimum (10 GB recommended).
• A certified graphics card and driver.

sketches for the model are drawn in the sketching environment using easy-to-use tools. After
drawing the sketches, you can dimension them and apply the required relations in the same
sketching environment. The design intent is captured easily by adding relations and equations
and using the design table in the design. You are provided with the standard whole library
known as the Hole Wizard in the Part mode. You can create simple holes, tapped holes, counter
bore holes, countersink holes, and so on by using this wizard. The holes can be of any standard
such as ISO, ANSI, JIS, and so on. You can also create complicated surfaces by using the
surface modeling tools available in the Part mode. Annotations such as weld symbols,
geometric tolerance, datum references, and surface finish symbols can be added to the model
within the Part mode. The standard features that are used frequently can be saved as library
features and retrieved when needed.
a) Bottom-up assembly
b) Top-down assembly
In the bottom-up assembly method, the assembly is created by assembling the components
created earlier and maintaining their design intent. In the top-down method, the components
are created in the assembly mode. You may begin with some ready-made parts and then create
other components in the context of the assembly. You can refer to the features of some
components of the assembly to drive the dimensions of other components. You can assemble
all components of an assembly by using a single tool, the Mate tool. While assembling the
components of an assembly, you can also animate the assembly by dragging. Besides this, you
can also check the working of your assembly. Collision detection is one of the important
features in this mode. Using this feature, you can rotate and move components as well as detect
the interference and collision between the assembled components. You can see the realistic
motion of the assembly by using physical dynamics. Physical simulation is used to simulate
the assembly with the effects of motors, springs, and gravity on the assemblies.
The Drawing mode is used for the documentation of the parts or the assemblies created earlier
in the form of drawing views. The procedure for creating drawing views is called drafting.
There are two types of drafting done in SOLIDWORKS:
a) Generative drafting
b) Interactive drafting

in nature. Automatic BOMs and balloons can be added to an assembly while generating the
drawing views of it.
In interactive drafting, you have to create the drawing views by sketching them using normal
sketching tools and then add dimensions to them.

Sketching in SolidWorks is the basis for creating features. Features are the basis for creating
parts, which can be put together into assemblies. Sketch entities can also be added to drawings.
SolidWorks features contain intelligence so they can be edited. Design intent is an important
consideration when creating SolidWorks models, so planning when sketching is important.
You can create features without adding dimensions to sketches. However, it is good practice
to dimension sketches. Dimension in accordance with the model’s design intent; for example,
you might want to dimension holes a certain distance from an edge, or a certain distance from
each other.
In Solidworks, relations between sketch entities and model geometry are an important means
of building in design intent. For example, you can draw two concentric circles. If you specify
a concentric relation and then move one circle, the other circle moves with it, maintaining the
relation.

6. SURFACE MODELING
6.1 Surface Modelling
Surface models are a type of three-dimensional (3D) models with no thickness. These models
are widely used in industries like automobile, aerospace, plastic, medical, and so on. Surface
models should not be confused with thick models, that is, models having mass properties.
Surface models do not have thickness whereas thick or solid models have a user-defined
thickness.
The only difference between the solid model and the surface model will be that the solid model
will have mass properties but the surface model will not. Sometimes, complex shapes are
difficult to create using solid modeling. Such models can be easily created using surface
modeling and then the surface model can be converted into the solid model. It becomes easy
for a person to learn surface modeling if he is familiar with solid modeling feature creation
tools.
6.2 Commands
1. Extrude surface
2. Revolve Surface
3. Swept surface

SOLIDWORKS sheet metal models and automatically input your own bend radius, thickness,
and K-factor.
Bend radius is used for creating a bend at edge of two faces of sheet metal. Simply stated a K-
factor is a dividing factor. The term is usually encountered when dealing with pulse signals
although analog K-factors are sometimes used. 2. Pulse Signal K-factors. All pulse output type
flow meters when they are dispatched by their manufacturer will have a calibration certificate.
7.2 Commands
1. Base flange
2. Jog
3. Sketched Bend
4. Hem
5. Forming tool

9. ASSEMBLY
9.1 Introduction
An assembly design consists of two or more components assembled together at their respective
work positions using parametric relations. In SolidWorks, these relations are called mates.
These mates allow you to constrain the degrees of freedom of the components at their
respective work positions.
All components are created as separate part documents, and then they are placed and referenced
in the assembly as external components. In this type of approach, the components are created
in the Part mode and saved as the (.sldprt) documents.
After creating and saving all components of the assembly, you need to start a new assembly
document (.sldasm) and insert the components in it using the tools provided in the Assembly
mode.

11.2.2 Piston
Piston is placed in the cylinder and transmit thrust to the connecting rod. It is free to move. It
is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings.
In an engine, its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft
via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. It compresses the air fuel mixture and convert the fuel
energy into mechanical energy. It transmits power to the crankshaft. In some engines, the piston
also acts as a valve by covering and uncovering ports in the cylinder wall.

12. SIMULATION
12.1 Introduction
While this course focuses on the introduction to the rigid body dynamics using SolidWorks
Motion Simulation, the full product line covers a wide range of analysis areas to consider. The
paragraphs below lists the full offering of the SolidWorks Simulation packages and modules.
Static studies provide tools for the linear stress analysis of parts and assemblies loaded by static
loads. Frequency studies offer tools for the analysis of the natural modes and frequencies. This
is essential in the design or many components loaded in both static and dynamic ways. Typical
questions that will be answered using this study type are: Will my part resonate under normal
operating loads? Are the frequency characteristics of my components suitable for the given
application? Can my design be modified to improve the frequency characteristics? Thermal
studies offer tools for the analysis of the heat transfer by means of conduction, convection, and
radiation.
Step 2- Apply fixtures:- After applying the material to the workpiece, fix the sides of the
workpiece according to the direction of load applying on required side.

2 Months Software Training Page | 72/72
As soon as you select the edges, the preview of the chamfer feature is displayed in the
drawing area with default values. The angle and distance callouts are also displayed.
Next, you need to set the chamfer parameters.
You need to create chamfer by using 1 mm distance and 45 degrees angle. The Angle
distance radio button is selected by default in the Chamfer Parameters rollout. The
value of the angle in the Angle spinner is set to 45 degrees by default. Therefore, you
do not need to modify this value. You need to set only the value of the distance in the
Distance spinner.
3. Set the value to 1 in the Distance spinner and choose the OK button from the Chamfer
PropertyManager. Refer to Figure 2.2 for the parameters of the chamfer feature.
4. Similarly, create the chamfer of dimension 2 X 45o on the base feature, refer to Figure
