please help me to get good solidworks tutorial

hello all,
I am new to solid works. I need to design some complicated 3d solids
like double row angular contact bearing . which book helps me more to
get more familiarize with designing and animation of objects in solid
works. Is there any online material for that. kindly help me .

 

The best resource to learn advanced modeling techniques will be from
your Value Added Reseller. Do a search on Amazon for 'Solidworks', and
a few good books will come up. The newly released "Solidworks for
Dummies" by Greg Jankowski is a very well written book, and the boks by
Planchard & Planchard are always a good referance guide.

 

I bought the planchard books and ran through some of the CD-ROM
exercises.

I thought the Solidworks tutorial that came with SW 2005 was the best
tutorial I've seen in about 15 years of solid modelling.

Under "Help-Online Tutorial".

I started with that and ran through all the modelling exercises. Then
did part of the Planchard CD.

I like the SW included tutorial because of the inter-operability with
the program itself. That is, if you forget a function, you can go back
to the tutorial and you're not just clicking through a disconnected
*.pdf - the SW tutorial will launch the SW feature/tool you might be
looking for at the time.

 

Just a hint from someone who has tried to jump in over my head more
than once, where I've set out to create complicated parts as my first
"learning experience". I have frustrated myself a great deal.

The tutorial paperback and built-in tutorial are what go over the
basics so you can get a good foundation of the basic work before
jumping into such things as bearing design.

To make a pun, bearings can easily become "over-bearing" and
"over-constrained" and give you fits, without earlier simpler practice
designs.

 

The Online Tutorial in Solidworks is real helpful. Just about all of the
different procedures needed to complete a 3-d feature are included;
drawing, extruding, lofting, revolving, sweeping, assembly, etc. Just about
every procedure that you need to complete a finished model is covered in a
real simplified step by step approach. You can print out the lessons for
reference. When you are through creating a model, then Photoworks and
animation is included as well, and the lessons will get you on the road to
finishing your model with "Photo Realism". For further reference, here is a
real High Caliber link to get you started.

Good luck.

You could use Cadpo. Its an online training solution for SolidWorks,
and pretty much teaches they same thing your VAR will, but cost ALOT
less. I did their demo at SW World, and it was pretty nice.
