SolidWorks Part Modeling

SolidWorks Instructor Led Training

SolidWorks Part Modeling teaches you how to use multibody solids, sweeping and lofting features, and the more advanced shaping capabilities of SolidWorks.

 

Course details and prerequisites:

Duration: 2 Days
Type: Instructor Led
Level: Intermediate

Prerequisites:

  • Attended the SolidWorks Essentials or equivalent level of knowledge
  • At least one month of experience using the software
After the training you will be able to:
  • Create complex freeform parts assocated with the consumer product design
  • Create multibody parts and split them to create assemblies
  • Use advanced features to generate custom solid model part designs

 

Excellent approach and layout of course. Instructor very knowledgeable. Javelin provides world class training and support!
