Introduction to SolidWorks

BIOGRAPHY ___

BIOGRAPHY

Mario H. Castro-Cedeño has over 30 years of experience as an

engineer working in industry, government and academia. His duties

have included mechanical and materials engineering, corrosion

research, project engineering and project management. He also has

occupied positions in engineering management.

In this book he teaches how to use SolidWorks as a tool for developing

and presenting engineering ideas and concepts. In addition to teaching

the basics of SolidWorks, he shares his experience related to how

these tools are used in an engineering organization.

The book is divided into the following five sections:

1. Introducing and Customizing SolidWorks


2. Modeling Simple Parts


3. Modeling Complex Parts


4. Modeling Assemblies


5. Creating Engineering Drawings

Unique amongst introductory SolidWorks tutorials, this book teaches how to read engineering
drawings in parallel with learning to use SolidWorks. This is done by re-creating the model from
the drawings included.
