How Solidworks Works

Solidworks allows users to create 3D models directly from sketches and features. Parts are built using sketches as a base, then adding extruded cuts or other features. Assemblies bring multiple parts together, with mates defining how they connect. Drawings are created from assembly or part views to add dimensions for detailing.

How Solidworks Works?

Solidworks Overview
Solidworks main idea is user to create drawing directly in 3D or solid form. From this
solid user can assemble it directly on their workstation checking clashes and functionality
of it. Creating drawing is pretty easy just drag and drop the solid to drawing block.

Part

Part is created by sketch.


Sketch is the base to define your part, form and features.

Before you start creating sketches you must select plane or face where the sketch will be

Assembly
Assembly is how all parts works together in assembly, checking for clashes and it
functionality. First all parts inserted in assembly by Insert Component tool.

3
When all parts inserted into workspace, Mate is command to define how parts mate with

each other.
Let’s mate this block and pin together, click Mate and select pin face and hole face, OK.

4
Drawing
Drawing is use for detailing part by adding dimension to it. To create a drawing first you
need to select drawing block.

When block inserted, select click view palette to add drawing view.

5
Choose the part you wish to make drawing.
Now just drag and drop the part view on drawing block and add dimensions.

Summary
Solidworks works by it user creating part in 3D or solid form. Three solidworks
component is Part, Assembly and Drawing. Part define by it sketch and selected feature.
Assembly is how all parts assemble in one unit, parts assemble by user adding mate
between parts. Drawing is for detailing and adding dimensions to part.
