SolidWorks 2010 Bible

S

pecialized functionality in SolidWorks makes certain
tasks easier by grouping tools and making tools that
apply only to a limited range of techniques. Sheet
metal and Weldments are highly useful techniques in
SolidWorks due to the specialized tools developed around
the design styles. Chapter 30 is new in this edition and
addresses the direct editing tools that you can use in
SolidWorks to edit native and imported files. Chapter 32
covers plastic functionality, which is very powerful and
robust. Mold Tools enable you to add a draft to plastic
parts and split it into cavity and core faces. MotionManager
is an ever-growing area of the software and is covered in
Chapter 33.
