✦ Synopsis

This book provides the reader with a comprehensive knowledge of all the tools provided in the software SOLIDWORKS for a variety of engineering areas. It presents a broad choice of examples to be imitated in one’s own work. In developing these examples, the authors’ intent has been to exercise many program features and refinements. By displaying these, the authors hope to give readers the confidence to employ these program enhancements in their own modeling applications.
