SolidWorks Advanced Surfacing & Complex Shapes

Length: 2 days

Prerequisites: Advanced Parts class or extensive experience with complex shapes. This is not a beginning user class.

Description: This class picks up where the Advanced Part class leaves off, and goes into detail about how to achieve complex shapes using all the tools available. In this class we also walk the student through surface modeling techniques and the interchange between solids and surfaces. There are many creative example parts on a CD that accompanies the class material. The topics covered in this course are:

  • Curves - 2D/3D splines, intersection, projected and composite curves
  • Sweeps, Lofts - set up, best practice, tricks to achieve common shapes
  • Solids only functions - deform, dome, shape, delete face
  • Surfaces only functions - fill, delete hole, replace face, trim/untrim/extend
  • Advanced filleting - variable/multi radius, face, hold line, full round, setback and curvature continuous, fillet ordering
  • Model evaluation - draft, undercut, curvature, zebra-stripe and deviation analysis
  • Manipulating imported data - de- and re-constructing imported geometry, import part repair
