ExercisesApproachCongratulations! You have already worked through the first few SolidWorks tutorials, so you already have some understanding of SolidWorks. In order to really getto know the program, it is important that you practice a lot! That is why we have putthis bundle together. You now have a large number of exercises to help you becomefamiliar with SolidWorks.The best idea is to do the relevant exercises from this bundle every time you havecompleted a SolidWorks tutorial. You can then put what you have learnt into practice straight away.The exercises you are going to do depend on each other. This means that: you maymake an axle in the exercises for tutorial one, another part in tutorial 3 and then putthem together in an assembly in tutorial 7. It is therefore very important that yousave everything that you make (parts, assemblies and drawings)! Create a newfolder for this purpose. You could call this folder “SolidWorks exercises”, for example. Always give the file the same name as the exercise (for example: Exercise11sldprt).Most of the exercises do not have an explanation. You should be able to model thepart using the drawing.Have fun drawing and good luck!SolidWorks for Junior and Senior Secondary Technical Education3

SolidWorks is active in education3D CAD is an indispensable part of today’s technicalworld. Whether you specialize in the field of mechanical engineering, metal, metal electronics, industrialproduct design or car engineering: 3D CAD is the toolfor today’s designers and engineers.In the Benelux countries, SolidWorks is the mostpopular 3D CAD software on the market. This isthanks to a unique combination of characteristics:great ease of use, wide usability and outstandingsupport. User requirements are always included inthe software in the annual updates, which leads to anannual extension of functionality, but also to optimization of existing functions in the software.EducationA large number of educational organizations, rangingfrom organizations for secondary technical educationto technical universities, have already chosen SolidWorks. Why?For the lecturer, SolidWorks means choosing a userfriendly piece of software that pupils or students canmaster quickly. SolidWorks is therefore excellentlysuited to problem-driven education or competenceoriented education. Free tutorials in Dutch are available for various levels of education, such as a series oftutorials for junior and senior secondary technicaleducation, which explain the basic principles of SolidWorks, or the Advanced Modeling tutorial, whichdeals with more complex topics, such as modelingcomplex double-curved surfaces. All of the tutorialsare in Dutch and can be downloaded for free fromwww.solidworks.nl.For the pupil or student, learning SolidWorks isabove all fun and challenging. SolidWorks makestechnology much clearer and more accessible, sothat working on tasks and projects is much more realistic and fun. Furthermore, every pupil or studentknows that their employment prospects increase significantly if they can put SolidWorks, the most commonly used piece of 3D CAD software in the Beneluxcountries, on their CV. A large number of the vacancies and internships advertised at www.cadjobs.nl, forexample, require knowledge of SolidWorks. This increases the motivation to learn how to use SolidWorks even more.A Student Kit is available to make SolidWorks eveneasier to use. All students following a course thatuses SolidWorks can download the Student Kit forfree. The Student Kit is a full version of SolidWorksthat may only be used for educational purposes. Yourlecturer will provide you with the information neededto download the Student Kit.poned, as SolidWorks has relatively modest hardware requirements. SolidWorks is very simple to install and manage in a network environment, thanks tothe use of network licenses, among other things.Should you still experience problems, our qualifiedhelp desk team will get you back on track quickly.CertificationWhen you have mastered SolidWorks sufficiently,you can take the CSWA exam. CSWA is short forCertified SolidWorks Associate. On successful completion of the exam, you will be awarded a certificate,which you can use to show that you have masteredSolidWorks sufficiently. This is useful when applyingfor jobs or internships.After working through this series of tutorials for juniorand senior secondary technical education, you willhave sufficient knowledge of SolidWorks to take theCSWA exam.FinallySolidWorks committed itself to education a long timeago. By supporting lecturers where possible, by publishing teaching material and adapting it for the newest version of the software every year and by issuingthe Student Kit.
