Interpenetration – Basic tutorial #6

One of the most difficult topics in the Design and
Communication Graphics is interpenetration. THe diffficulty lies in the
students ability to visualise the objects they are trying to draw.
Concrete examples such as ones created in SolidWorks will greatly aide
student visualisation.

Conics – Basic tutorial #5

SolidWorks is an excellent tool for the teaching of
conics. Using a simple cone and a sectioning plane circles, ellipses,
parabolas and hyperbolas can be shown.

Section Views Basic tutorial #4

In parts, assemblies and drawings solidworks makes it easy to create section views. Any part can be dynamically sectioned,this makes any part an excellent tool for learning section views.
Students will be better able to visualize hatching’s, areas and cutting planes etc from watching a dynamic example of the cutting plane on the computer screen.

Oblique Planes Basic Tutorial #3

The ability to create planes in solid works is a
useful tool in the teaching of oblique planes. Models can be created
showing basic principles such as the quarter sphere and objects can be
visualized using the model. Rotating the model will give students the
ability to visualize items such as dihedral angle etc.

Cutting Planes – Basic tutorial #2

The ability to create planes in solid works is a useful tool in the teaching of cutting planes. Models can be created showing basic
principles such as the quarter sphere and objects can be cut using the
up next to end condition in an extrude.

Solids in Contact -Basic training #1

The ability to easily create simple solids in SolidWorks and to mate them
together in a
n assembly lends itself easily to the teaching of Solids
in Contact. Cones Cylinders and Spheres are commonly used in Solids in
