| associate cswa full exam answers: Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2021 - Level I Alejandro Reyes, 2021-01-29 This book is intended to help new users learn the basic concepts of SOLIDWORKS and good solid modeling techniques in an easy to follow guide that includes video instruction. It is a great starting point for those new to SOLIDWORKS or as a teaching aid in classroom training to become familiar with the software’s interface, basic commands and strategies as users complete a series of models while learning different ways to accomplish a particular task. At the end of this book, you will have a fairly good understanding of the SOLIDWORKS interface and the most commonly used commands for part modeling, assembly and detailing after completing a series of components and their 2D drawings complete with Bill of Materials. The book focuses on the processes to complete the modeling of a part, instead of focusing on individual software commands or operations, which are generally simple enough to learn. Throughout this book the author introduces you to new commands that are required to pass the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate exam, as listed on the SOLIDWORKS website. A dedicated chapter provides you with details about the exam, as well as a practice test to help you prepare for the actual exam. SOLIDWORKS is an easy to use CAD software that includes many time saving tools that will enable new and experienced users to complete design tasks faster than before. Most commands covered in this book have advanced options, which may not be covered in this book. This is meant to be a starting point to help new users to learn the basic and most frequently used commands. |
| associate cswa full exam answers: CSWP Exam Preparation Ryan Lee, 2020-04-23 This book, CSWP exam preparation: All-in-one guidebook with practice exams, is written to assist students in college and universities, engineers, and professionals who are interested in getting a certification of CSWP(Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional). There are so many books available for learning SOLIDWORKS, while there are very few books to help for CSWP exam preparation. To prepare for exams efficiently, future exam takers essentially need exam-oriented preparation books. There are some online/offline training programs. However, those are very expensive to prepare a CSWP exam. This book is divided into four parts. Part I covers introductory principles of CSWP, including fundamental knowledge of the CSWP exam. Part II covers the first segment of the CSWP exam mainly focusing on part modeling, including six practice exam sets. Also, key skills for passing the segment one exam are explained with various hands-on examples. Part III covers the second segment of the CSWP exam focusing on the configuration and design intent. Part IV covers the third segment focusing on the assemblies and mates. Organizing the book in this way is to help the students, engineers, and professionals to prepare the CSWP exam efficiently. This book has a significant number of pictorial descriptions of the steps with screenshots that a student should follow. Since 2018, the format of the CSWP exam has been updated. However, the problem pattern covered by the exam and the required SOLIDWORKS skill does not change significantly. To help adapt to this new format, two sets of updated tests form are included in each part. The first practice test set for each part is provided with a walkthrough instruction that includes a step-by-step problem-solving process, and the rest of the practice test sets are provided with the answers in the end-of-section with video tutorials. Time management is essential in CSWP, so it is recommended that you practice by completing the test within the specified time. It is hoped that students and engineers will find this edition useful for passing the CSWP exam in the first attempt. |

| associate cswa full exam answers: Finite Element Analysis Concepts J. E. Akin, 2010 Young engineers are often required to utilize commercial finite element software without having had a course on finite element theory. That can lead to computer-aided design errors. This book outlines the basic theory, with a minimum of mathematics, and how its phases are structured within a typical software. The importance of estimating a solution, or verifying the results, by other means is emphasized and illustrated. The book also demonstrates the common processes for utilizing the typical graphical icon interfaces in commercial codes. in particular, the book uses and covers the widely utilized SolidWorks solid modeling and simulation system to demonstrate applications in heat transfer, stress analysis, vibrations, buckling, and other fields. The book, with its detailed applications, will appeal to upper-level undergraduates as well as engineers new to industry. |
