An Introduction to SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2017 takes you through the steps of creating the SOLIDWORKS part for the simulation followed by the setup and calculation of the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation project. Results from calculations are visualized and compared with theoretical solutions and empirical data. The textΓÇÖs fourteen chapter start with the objectives and a description of the specific problems that are studied. Chapter exercises provide reinforcement and practice of what has been learned. The content supplies coverage of flow simulation for students taking Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer courses/modules, and can be used to show capabilities of fluid flow and heat transfer simulations in earlier courses/modules such as Introduction to Engineering.

Finite Element Analysis Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 introduces the aspects of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) most important to engineers and designers. Theoretical aspects of FEA are introduced to build a better understanding the operation, while the main focus of the text is on conveying the practical concepts and procedures needed to use SOLIDWORKS Simulation in performing Linear Static Stress Analysis and basic Modal Analysis. This text covers SOLIDWORKS Simulation, with lessons that guide readers from constructing basic truss elements to generating three-dimensional solid elements from solid models. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important FEA techniques and concepts.

SOLIDWORKS 2017 and Engineering Graphics: An Integrated Approach combines an introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2017 with a comprehensive coverage of engineering graphics principles. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to the basic concepts of Engineering Graphics, with in-depth discussions of parametric feature-based CAD techniques. Its sixteen chapters have detailed step-by-step tutorial style lessons, designed to introduce beginning CAD users to the graphics language used in technical industries. The text does not attempt to cover all SOLIDWORKS 2017 features; rather it provides a general introduction to the software. In total this work establishes a strong basis for exploring and growing in the field of Computer Aided Engineering.

This book focuses on strengthening 3D visualization skills through sketching exercises. It does not make reference to any particular computer-aided design software package.

Finite Element Simulations with ANSYS Workbench 17 is a comprehensive and easy to understand workbook.

Engineering Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 goes beyond the standard software manual. Its unique approach concurrently introduces you to the SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 software and the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented using commonly used parts to illustrate the analysis features of SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Each chapter is designed to build on the skills, experiences and understanding gained from the previous chapters.

Parametric Modeling with Autodesk Inventor 2015 contains a series of sixteen tutorial style lessons designed to introduce Autodesk Inventor, solid modeling, and parametric modeling. It uses a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important parametric modeling techniques and concepts. The lessons guide the user from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. Other featured topics include sheet metal design, motion analysis, 2D design reuse, collision and contact, stress analysis and the Autodesk Inventor 2015 Certified User Examination.

This book is designed to develop your student¿s hand-sketching skills. The book will enhance your students basic knowledge of drawing techniques they can use throughout the educational ¿design process.¿
