SolidWorks is a powerful computer-aided design (CAD) software used for 3D modeling, simulation, and product design. In this introduction to SolidWorks, you'll learn the basics of navigating the user interface, including the Command Manager, Feature Manager, and Property Manager. You'll explore how to create new parts, assemblies, and drawings, and understand essential tools like sketching, extruding, and revolving features. Additionally, we'll cover best practices for file management and collaboration. This foundational knowledge will set you up for more advanced topics like simulations and custom features in future tutorials.
