Most SolidWorks tutorials teach commands, but this book teaches you to think the way an engineer does.
These chapters transform the hard lessons into a framework that you can use for any project. You will learn how to transform wishes and ideas to real requirements and why your model broke when you changed the sketch in your model. You will learn how feature design order undermines visually appealing designs and how to build sketches that survive revisions. The five chapters cover engineering mindset and design intent. Also, it covers common beginner mistakes and a full real-world case study.
These chapters have quick check questions and challenge problems based on real failure. Also, it includes hands-on exercises that show the beginner method and the engineer method to see where the thinking method goes wrong.
This book is for the engineering students and the early-career designers who are tired of repeating the same mistakes. If you watched a perfect CAD model fail in the real world and don't know the reason, this book shows you what you missed and how to avoid it.
Stop modelling. Start engineering.
