01About the course
What you will learn in SolidWorks
SolidWorks is a 3D CAD program from Dassault Systèmes. It uses feature-based, parametric modelling: you draw a sketch, add dimensions and relations, and turn it into solid features such as extrudes, revolves, sweeps and lofts. Parts are then put together in assemblies with mates, and 2D drawings with views, dimensions and a bill of materials update automatically when the model changes.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want SolidWorks taught live by a trainer.
Basic computer use is enough to start. Knowledge of engineering drawing, projections and simple machine parts will help you follow the sketching and drafting sessions faster.
