Introductory tutorials, training sessions or demonstrations are a great way to get started with SolidWorks but, a bit like driving a car, the learning only really gets going when you get behind the wheel. SolidProfessor is a comprehensive series of video files that give the help and information needed as you create models in SolidWorks. Most tutorials show how to produce a given model in a given way, but SolidProfessor takes things much further. Like the best teacher, SolidProfessor explains the principles involved, illustrates where errors can occur and clearly demonstrates the most appropriate techniques.
Unlike even the best teacher, SolidProfessor is available at the student’s desktop 24 hours a day and can deal simultaneously with any number of diverse learning needs.
Lessons are clear, concise and to the point to minimise the amount of time it takes to get answers.
It really is like having (at least!) one extra member of staff on your team. SolidProfessor includes a SolidWorks
Add-In, which means students can watch training videos and get answers directly inside SolidWorks without having to
launch another application or waste time searching the web.
SolidProfessor Blended Learning Approach
SolidProfessor - a complete library of instruction and an on-demand reference.
SolidProfessor - builds SolidWorks skills through understanding as students develop their own projects.
SolidProfessor - facilitates self-paced learning. Ideally suited to the individual project approach that characterises modern approaches in Design Education.
SolidProfessor is not a tutorial. It’s better. A typical tutorial teaches you how to do one thing one way. For students to become fluent SolidWorks Users, their skills have to be more adaptable than that.
SolidProfessor lessons go beyond step-by-step button clicks - students gain deeper insight about techniques and applications. Instruction is concept-based, ensuring students can tackle any type of challenge.
SolidProfessor covers the full spectrum of SolidWorks skill levels—from beginner to advanced
3DSkills Learn how to navigate the SolidWorks interface, create simple sketches, and turn those sketches into 3D part models. Learn the basics of creating assemblies from your parts, and how to generate drawings of your parts and assemblies
Drawings Learn to create 2D drawing views of your parts and assemblies as well as generating Bills of Materials and placing dimensions, notes and other notations
AutoCAD to SolidWorks Learn how to use legacy 2D data and TechSoft 2D Design data in Solidworks and how to create new 3D parts from scratch
Advanced Parts Learn to use advanced tools such as flex and indent as well as advanced options of fillets, sweeps and lofts
Advanced Assemblies Learn to manipulate assembly structures, use assembly level features, pattern and mirror components, use advanced mates, and manage assembly configurations
Sheet Metal Understand the features, tools, and techniques specific to the design of sheet metal parts. Edge flanges, rip feature, unfold, bend lines, etc.
Workgroup PDM Gain insight into how large scale commercial projects are managed using Workgroup PDM
PhotoWorks/PhotoView 360 Guides you through the process of creating photorealistic renderings of your parts and assemblies
Certification Prep Learn what to expect on the CSWA & CSWP test, go through detailed sample questions, strategies for managing your time, and top down design best practices
Advanced Surfacing Learn how to apply surfacing features to achieve complex geometry. Splines, surfaces, loft and sweep guide curves, etc.
SolidWorks Simulation Teaches the fundamentals of using the Simulation design validation software to analyze parts and assemblies before manufacturing
SolidWorks Routing Teaches how to create electrical, piping, cable and other routed systems in your assemblies
TolAnalyst/DimXpert Learn to fully define parts and assemblies with geometric dimensions and tolerances.
Update Training Provides comprehensive lessons covering all the new features in detail of SolidWorks’ latest version
ASK SolidProfessor Allows students to learn from real-world SolidWorks users through
user-submitted
how-to questions and answers
SolidWorks Certification
If SolidWorks certification is an important part of your curriculum, then SolidProfessor’s CSWA/CSWP Certification Preparation course will familiarise students with the structure and style of the exam, walk them through sample exercises and cover every aspect of the test—from part design to simulation.
