Finite Element Analysis Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 introduces the aspects of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) most important to engineers and designers. Theoretical aspects of FEA are introduced to build a better understanding the operation, while the main focus of the text is on conveying the practical concepts and procedures needed to use SOLIDWORKS Simulation in performing Linear Static Stress Analysis and basic Modal Analysis. This text covers SOLIDWORKS Simulation, with lessons that guide readers from constructing basic truss elements to generating three-dimensional solid elements from solid models. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important FEA techniques and concepts.

SOLIDWORKS 2017 and Engineering Graphics: An Integrated Approach combines an introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2017 with a comprehensive coverage of engineering graphics principles. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to the basic concepts of Engineering Graphics, with in-depth discussions of parametric feature-based CAD techniques. Its sixteen chapters have detailed step-by-step tutorial style lessons, designed to introduce beginning CAD users to the graphics language used in technical industries. The text does not attempt to cover all SOLIDWORKS 2017 features; rather it provides a general introduction to the software. In total this work establishes a strong basis for exploring and growing in the field of Computer Aided Engineering.

This text provides readers, having no previous CAD experience, with an accessible guide to SOLIDWORKS 2017, with easy to understand, step-by-step tutorials. A simple robot design is used as a project throughout the book. Readers learn to model parts, create assemblies, run simulations and create animations of their robot designs. The text covers parametric modeling fundamentals through use of geometric constraints and relationships, and 3D printing is introduced in the last chapter.
