 BASICS OF SOLIDS MODELING WITH SOLIDWORKS
Introduction

Solid Works is the state of the art in computer-aided design (CAD). Solid Works represents an object

in a virtual environment just as it exists in reality, i.e., having volume as well as surfaces and edges. This,

along with exceptional ease of use, makes Solid Works a powerful design tool. Complex three-dimensional

parts with contoured surfaces and detailed features can be modeled quickly and easily with Solid-Works.

Then, many parts can be assembled in a virtual environment to create a computer model of the finished

product. In addition, traditional engineering drawings can be easily extracted from the solids models of both

the parts and the final assembly. This approach opens the door to innovative design concepts, speeds product

development, and minimizes design errors. The result is the ability to bring high-quality products to market

very quickly.

CONSTRAINT-BASED SOLIDS MODELING

The constraint-based solids modeling used in Solid Works makes the modeling process intuitive. The

3-D modeling begins with the creation of a 2-D sketch of the profile for the cross section of the part. The

sketch of the cross section begins much like the freehand sketch of the face of an object. The initial sketch

need not be particularly accurate; it needs only to reflect the basic geometry of the part’s cross-sectional

shape. Details of the cross section are added later. The next step is to constrain the two-dimensional sketch by

adding enough dimensions and parameters to completely define the shape and size of the two-dimensional

profile. The name constraint-based modeling arises because the shape of the initial two-dimensional sketch is

“constrained” by adding dimensions to the sketch. Finally, a three-dimensional object is created by revolving

or extruding the two-dimensional sketched profile. Figure 1 shows the result of revolving a simple L-shaped

cross section by 270o about an axis and extruding the same L-shaped cross section along an axis.

In either case, these solid bodies form the basic geometric solid shapes of the part. Other features can

be added subsequently to modify the basic solid shape. Once the solids model is generated using Solid Works,

all of the surfaces have been automatically defined, so it is possible to shade it in order to create a

photorealistic appearance. It is also easy to generate two-dimensional orthographic views of the object. Solid

modeling is like the sculpting of a virtual solid volume of material. Because the volume of the object is

properly represented in a solids model, it is possible to slice through the object and show a view of the object

that displays the interior detail (sectional views). Once several solid objects have been created, they can be

5
assembled in a virtual environment to confirm their fit and to visualize the assembled product. Solids models

are useful for purposes other than visualization. The solids model contains a complete mathematical

representation of the object, inside and out. This mathematical representation is easily converted into

specialized computer code that can be used for stress analysis, heat transfer analysis, fluid-flow analysis, and

computer-aided manufacturing. Getting Started in Solid Works Introduction and Reference Solid Works

Corporation developed Solid Works® as a three-dimensional, feature-based, solids-modeling system for

personal computers.

Solid modeling represents objects in a computer as volumes, rather than just as collections of edges

and surfaces. Features are three-dimensional geometries with direct analogies to shapes that can be machined

or manufactured, such as holes or rounds. Feature-based solid modeling creates and modifies the geometric

shapes of an object in a way that represents common manufacturing processes. This makes Solid Works a

very powerful and effective tool for engineering design. As per other computer programs, Solid Works

organizes and stores data in files. Each file has a name followed by a period (dot) and an extension. There are

several file types used in Solid Works, but the most common file types and their extensions are Part files .prtor

.sldprt Assembly files .asm or .sldasmDrawing files .drw or .slddrw

Part files are the files of the individual parts that are modeled. Part files contain all of the pertinent

information about the part. Because Solid Works is a solids-modeling program, the virtual part on the screen

will look very similar to the actual manufacture part. Assembly files are created from several individual part

files that are virtually assembled (in the computer) to create the finished product.

Assembly files are the two dimensional engineering drawing representations of both the part and

assembly file. The drawings should contain all of the necessary information for the manufacture of the part,

including dimensions, part tolerances, and so on. The part file is the

Driving file for all other file types. The modeling procedure begins with part files. Subsequent

assemblies and drawings are based on the original part files. One advantage of Solid Works files is the feature

of dynamic links. Any change to a part file will automatically be updated in any corresponding assembly or

drawing file.
