2. Cad center was established in 2013 and it is the newest institute in
Kanina which gives training on AutoCAD and other designing
software's.
The Head quarter of cad center is located at Chennai Tamil Nadu.
Whose chairman & managing director is Mr. C.R Vaitheeswaran.
There are more than 350+ centers in India and 12+ centers in other
countries like Nigeria, Malaysia, UAE, Singapore etc.
Cadd center provides all facilities to students like study material, good
faculty, great environment , updated software's, life long membership
at a reasonable rate.
3. SolidWorks is a 3D solid modeling package which
allows users to develop full solid models in a
simulated environment for both design and analysis.
In SolidWorks, you sketch ideas and experiment with
different designs to create 3D models.
5. SolidWorks is used by
students, designers,
engineers, and other
professionals to produce
simple and complex parts,
assemblies, and drawings.
Designing in a modeling
package such as SolidWorks
is beneficial because it saves
time, effort, and money that
would otherwise be spent
prototyping the design.
8. Before we begin looking at the software, it is important to
understand the different components that make up a
SolidWorks model.
The first, and most basic element of a SolidWorks
model is a Part.
Parts consist of primitive geometry and features
such as extrudes, revolutions, lofts, sweeps, etc.
Parts will be the building blocks for all of the
models that you will create
9. SolidWorks Components -
Assemblies
The second component is the assembly. Assemblies
are collections of parts which are assembled in a
particular fashion using mates (constraints).
Any complex model will usually consist of one, or
many assemblies.
10. The third, and final component in SolidWorks is the
Drawing.
A drawing is the typical way to represent a 3D model such
that any engineer (or manufacturer) can recreate your part.
Drawings are important because they provide a standard
way of sharing your design.
11. By default, no file is opened automatically when you start
the program.
To create a new file, click on File > New or click the New File
icon in the main toolbar.
This will open the New SolidWorks Document wizard.

22. It is not required to add dimension on sketch before use them to create
a feature
Fully Defiend Sketch: the position of all entities are fully described, and
all the entities are BLACK
Under Defined Sketch: additional dimensions or relations are needed to
completely specify the geometry, under defiened entities are BLUE
Over Defiened Sketch, an object has conflicting dimensions or relations,
or both. Over defined entities are RED.
