Solidworks

2D & 3D Modeling:

• 2D Sketching: Explain the tools and techniques for creating precise 2D drawings like lines, arcs, circles, and splines that serve as the foundation for 3D models.
• 3D Modeling Features: Describe various features like extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, and surface creation to transform 2D sketches into complex 3D geometries.
• Advanced Modeling Techniques: Discuss surfacing tools like blends, fillets, and shelling, along with assembly modeling concepts like mates, joints, and sub-assemblies.

2. Thermal Simulation:

• Explain the purpose of thermal simulation in SOLIDWORKS: Analyze heat transfer, temperature distribution, and thermal stress within your designs.
• Types of Thermal Analysis: Define steady-state, transient, and coupled thermal simulations to solve different heat transfer scenarios.
• Setting Up and Interpreting Results: Guide you through defining material properties, boundary conditions, and meshing for accurate analysis, followed by interpreting temperature plots, heat flux visualizations, and thermal stress assessments.

3. Finite Element Study:

• Purpose of Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Explain how FEA helps predict structural behavior under various loading conditions like static, dynamic, and nonlinear forces.
• Types of FEA Studies: Describe static stress analysis, modal analysis for natural frequencies and vibration modes, buckling analysis for stability under compressive loads, and fatigue analysis for cyclic loading effects.
• Setting Up and Interpreting Results: Guide you through defining material properties, geometry simplification, meshing, applying loads and constraints, and interpreting stress, strain, deflection, and fatigue life results to optimize your designs for strength and durability.
