Specifically = Create an animation using the MotionManager. 1m Top-down ot in-context assembly modeling Use standard, advanced and mechanical mate types. Create component pattems in assemblies, (Create configuration of assemblies. Use design tables in assemblies. Manage assemblies using Solid Works Expforet Find and fix errors in assemblies. (Query assemblies and obtain information about them, Use layout-based design to create a sketched assembly that can be converted to a true component assembly. Create variations of appearances with display states, ‘a Use display states, configurations and other techniques to make ‘working with large essemblies more efficient. “The tools for working with assemblies in SolidWorks 2009 are quite robust and feature rich, During this course, we will cover many of the ‘commands and options in great detail. However, itis impractical to cover every minute detail and stil have the eourse be # reasonable Tength. Therefore, the focus of this couse is on the skills, tls, and concepts central to successfully working with assemblies. You should view the waining course manual asa supplement to, nota replacement for, the system documertation and on-line help. Once you have developed a good foundation inthe skills covered in this course, you can refer to the on-line help for information on less frequently used command options. ‘Students attending this course are expected to have the following = Mechanical design experience. ‘Completed the course SolidWorks Essentials. ‘= Experience with the Windows™ operating system, The recommended minimum length ofthis course is 2 days. “This cours is designed around a process- or task-based approach to training. Rather than focus on individual features and functions, a process-based training course emphasizes the processes nd procedures you follow to complete particular task, By utilizing case studies to illustrate these processes, you lear the necessary commands, options and menus inthe context of completing a design task ‘This taining manual i intended tobe used in a classroom environment under the guidance of an experienced SolidWorks instructor. It is not intended tobe a self-paced tutorial The examples and case studies are
