SOLIDWORKS
1. INTRODUCTION
Solidworks is a solid modelling computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided
engineering (CAE) computer programs that runs on Microsoft windows. Solidworks is
published by Dassault Systems.
Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Corp. offers complete 3D software tools that let
you create, simulate, publish, and manage your data. SOLIDWORKS products are
easy to leam and use and work together to help you design products better, faster,
and more cost-effectively. The SOLIDWORKS focus on ease-of-use allows more
engineers, designers and other technology professionals than ever before to take
advantage of 3D in bringing their designs to life.
applications like finite element analysis, circuit layout, tolerance checking, etc.
SolidWorks has ako licensed its 3D modeling capabilities to other CAD software
vendors, notably ANVIL
2. HISTORY
SolidWorks Corporation was founded in December 1993 by Massachusetts Institute
of Technology graduate Jon Hirschtick. Hirschtick used $1 million he had made while
a member of the MIT Blackjack Team to set up the company. Initially based in
Waltham, Massachusetts, United States, Hirschtick recruited a team of engineers
with the goal of building 3D CAD software that was easy-to-use, affordable, and
available on the Windows desktop. Operating later from Concord. Massachusetts,
SolidWorks released its first product SolidWorks 95, in November 1995. In 1997
Dassault, best known for its CATIA CAD software, acquired SolidWorks for $310
million in stock 51 Jon Hirschtick stayed on board for the next 14 years in various
roles. Under his leadership. SolidWorks grew to a $100 million revenue company.

INTODUCTION, INTERFACE AND SKETCHING
The interface is native window interface of my PC, and such behaves in the same manner as
other windows.
Menus:
1. It provides access to all commands that the Solid Works offers.
2.When a menu item has a right pointing arrow, i means there is a sub-menu
3.When a menu item is followed by a series of dots, it means that option opens a dialog box with
additional choices or information
Toolbars menus:
2.They are organized according to function and can be customized, removed and
rearranged according to your preferences.
2.It displays the details chronological sequence on how all the parts, assembly and
3. Configuration Manager
. The Feature Manager Design tree makes it easy to:
2.Identify and change the order in which features are created. You can drag items in the Feature
Manager Design tree ist to reorder them. This changes the order in which features are
regenerated when the model is rebuit.
3.Display the dimensions of a feature by double-clicking the feature's name. 4. Rename items by
slowly clicking two times on a name to select it and then
entering a new name. 5. Suppress and Unsuppressed part features and assembly components.
The Property Manager appears on the Property Manager tab in the panel to the left of the
graphics area. It opens when you select entities or commands defined in the Property Manager.
Icon Description
Zoom to fit rescales the view so the entire part, drawing, or assembly is visible.
Zooms to area Zooms in on a portion of the view that you select by creating a
Bounding box.
1. Place the cursor where you want the one comer of the box to be.
2. Drag the cursor diagonally to the opposite comer of the bounding box
3. Release the cursor. The image enlarges proportionally to the size of the
bounding box.
4. To resize the image back to fit the screen, select Zoom to Fit.
Zoom In/Out dynamically changes the scale of the image. • To enlarge the image. Press the
. left mouse button and drag upward. • To reduce the image: Press the left
. mouse button and drag downward.
• To rotate the image on a vertical axis: Move the mouse left to right
• To rotate the image on a horizontal axis: Move the mouse up and down.
You can ako use the keyboard arrow keys to rotate the image.
Pan Dynamically moves the image. Press and hold the left mouse button
while moving the cursor around on the screen.
Hidden Line Displays only those lines that are visible at the angle the model is rotated.
Removed Obscured lines are removed.
Perspective Displays a perspective view of the model A perspective view is the most
. normal view as seen by the eye or a camera. Parallel lines recede into the distance
. to a vanishing point. Perspective may be used in combination with any of the .
. view modes.
After that a new interface is open for 2-D sketching and modelling shown in figure below.
3. COMMAND BAR AND CANVAS
COMMAND BAR : Command bar is a context sensitive toolbar that dynamically updates
based on the toolbar you want to access.
CANVAS : The CANVAS shows you a visual presentation of the model you have created
using the command on the top.
These are the some figures that shows CANVAS area.
4. DOCUMENT MEASUREMENT
In document measurement you sets the measurement units from the bottom shown in
figure below.
There you can see the measurement units.
Units:
MKS (METER, KILOGRAM, SECOND)
CGS (CENTIMETER, GRAM, SECOND)
MMGS (MILIMETER, POUND, SECOND)
IPS (INCH, POUND, SECOND)
These are the common units which are showed in the
Document Measurement.
There are more different type of units that are open from edit document units shown in dialog
box on above figure and we can customize them from same. The below figure shows a edit
document unit interface.
5. 2-D SKETCHING
Extrusions
Sweeps
Revolves
Lofts
Process of completing the sketches :
A. Starting a new part : It can be created in IPS , MKS, CGS or other units.
C. GEOMETRY: Types of 2-D geometry such as lines, circles and rectangles that make up
the sketch.
E. State of the sketch : Each sketch has a horizontal and vertical are applied to the
sketch entities. The relations restrict the movement of the entities.
F. Sketch Tools : Tools can be used to modify the sketch geometry that has been
created, this often involves the trimming or extension of the entities.
Solid Works offers a rich variety of sketch tools for creating profile geometry.
SKETCH ENTITY EXAMPLE
CIRCLE
POLYGON
ELLIPSE
RECTANGLE
PARALLELOGRAM
LINE
SPLINE
STATUS OF SKETCH : The most common colour codes are Blue, Red and Black
In these figures item conflicts has been showed which is represented by yellow.
SKETCH RELATIONS : The following table describes the entities that you can
select for a relation and the characteristics of the resulting relation.
RELATION ENTITIES TO RESULTING
SELECT
RELATIONS
Horizontal or Vertical One or more lines or two or more The lines become Horizontal or
points. vertical as defined by the current
sketch space.
Collinear Two or more lines The items lie on the same infinite
line.
Cordial Two or more arcs The items share the same center
point and radius
Equal Two or more lines or a two or The line lengths or radii remain
more arcs. equal.
VIEW ORIENTATION: It helps the view display to correspond to one of the standard view
orientations.
Figure of standard views shown above.
VIEW DISPLAY STYLE: You can display drawing views in the following modes, from
either the view toolbar or in the view property manager:
SHADED
SHADED WITH EDGES
HIDDEN LINES REMOVED
HIDDEN LINES VISIBLE
WIREFRAME
According to above figure respectively.
CREATING FEATURES: Features are the individual shapes that, when combined, make
up the part. You can also add some types of features to assemblies. Some features originate
as sketches; other features, such as shells or fillets, are created when you select the
appropriate menu command and define the dimensions or characteristics that you want. This
chapter describes the following:
Base, Boss, and cut
Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, and Loft
Fillet/Round, Chamfer and Draft
Hole – Simple hole and Hole wizard
Shell
Rib
Dome
Pattern – Circular, Linear and Minor
Curve
Surface
EXTRUDE : Extrude extends the sketched profile of a feature in one or two directions as
either a thin feature or a solid feature in one or two directions as either a thin feature or a
solid feature. An extrude operation can either add material to a part (in a base or boss) or
remove material from a part (in a cut or hole).
This Shows the instant 3D drag handle to define its direction and extent.
These shows the Extrude Boss feature in previous figure.
CUT:
A cut is a feature which removes material from a part or an assembly.
A cut may be created by Extrude, Sweep, Revolve or Loft or thicken cuts or cut with surface.
The following table describes the End Condition Tab of the Extrude Feature dialog box and the
various options for Extruded Bosses and cuts.
FILLET : Fillet/Round creates a rounded internal or external face on the part. You can fillet
all edges of a face, selected sets of faces, selected edges or edges loops.
In general, it is best to follow these rules when making fillets:
Add larger fillets before smaller ones. When several fillets converge at a vertex, create the
larger fillets first.
Add drafts before fillets. If you are creating a molded or cast part with many flleted
edges and drafted surfaces, in most cases you should add the draft features before the
fillets.
Save cosmetics fillets for last . Try to add cosmetic fillets after most other geometry is
in place. If you add them earlier, it takes longer to rebuild the part.
To enable a part to rebuild more rapidly, use a single Fillet operation to treat several
edges that require equal fillets. Be aware however, that when you change the radius of
that fillet, all the fillets created in the same operation change.
DRAFT: Draft tapers faces using a specified angle to selected faces in the model, to make a
molded part easier to remove from the mold. You can insert a draft in an existing part or draft
while extruding a feature. You can draft using either a neutral plane or a parting line.
HOLE: Hole creates various types of hole features in the model You place a hole on a planar
face, then specify its location by dimensioning it afterwards.
SIMPLE: Places a circular hole of the depth you specify.
WIZARD: Creates holes with complex profiles, such as Counter bore or
Countersunk.
In general, à is best to create holes near the end of the design process. This helps yout
avoid inadvertently adding material inside an existing hole.
DOME: You can add a dome feature to any model face that has a circular, elliptical, or four
sided boundary. A four-sided boundary need not be rectangular, and each side may consist of
a single segment or a set of tangent segments.
FINAL FINISH
MIRROR FEATURE: Mirror Feature creates a copy of a feature (or features), mirrored
about a plane. You can either use an existing plane or create a new one. If you modify the
original feature, the mirrored copy is updated to reflect the changes.

ANSYS
Introduction
ANSYS is AmericanComputer-aided engineering software developer headquartered
south of Pittsburgh in Cecil Township, Pennsylvania, United States. Ansys publishes
engineering analysis software across a range of disciplines including finite element
analysis, structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics, explicit and implicit
methods, and heat transfer.
TYPES OF ANALYSIS:
Computational fluid dynamics
Structural analysis
Thermal analysis
Experiments vsSimulations
CFD gives an insight into flow patterns that are difficult, expensive or impossible to study
using traditional (experimental) techniques
The results of a CFD simulation are never 100% reliable because the
input data may involve too much guessing or imprecision
The solution is post-processed to extract quantities of interest (e.g. lift, drag, torque, heat
In this step, you will start ANSYS Workbench, create a new FLUENT fluid flow analysis
system, then review the list of files generated by ANSYS Workbench.
1. Start ANSYS Workbench by clicking the Windows Start menu, then selecting the
Workbench 16.0 option in the ANSYS 16.0 program group.
ANSYS Workbench 16.0. In this window, one can create, manage, and view the
workflow of the entire project created by using standard analysis systems. The
Workbench window mainly consists of Menu bar, Standard toolbar, the Toolbox
Toolbox Window
The Toolbox window is located on the left in the Workbench window. The Toolbox window lists
the standard and customized templates or the individual analysiscomponents that are used to
create projects. To create a project, drag a particular analysis or component system from the
Toolboxwindow and drop it into the Project Schematic window.Alternatively, double-click on a
particular analysis or component system in the Toolbox window to add it to the Project
Schematic window and to create the project.
Pre-Processing
To start working on a new project, you need to add an appropriate analysis or component system
to the Project Schematic window.
3. Create a new FLUENT fluid flow analysis system by double-clicking the FluidFlow
(FLUENT) option under Analysis Systems in the Toolbox.

generated by ANSYS Workbench.
click the Setup cell in the 2D fluid flow analysis system. You can also right-click the
Setup cell todisplay the context menu where you can select the Edit... option.
When ANSYS FLUENT is first started, the FLUENT Launcher is displayed, enabling you
That the Dimension setting is already filled in and cannot be changed, since ANSYS
FLUENT automatically sets it based on the mesh or geometry for the current system.
Make sure that the Display Mesh After Reading, Embed Graphics
Windows, and Workbench Color Scheme options are enabled.
ANSYS FLUENT will report the results of the mesh check in the console.
Domain Extents:
Done.
The minimum and maximum values may vary slightly when running on different
platforms. The mesh check will list the minimum and maximum x and y values from the
mesh in the default SI unit of meters. It will also report a number of other mesh features
that are checked. Any errors in the mesh will be reported at this time. Ensure that the
minimum volume is not negative as ANSYS FLUENT cannot begin a calculation when t
his is the case.
This software is utilized to provide some useful and practical designing software that will
allow users to visualize as well as create prototypes of a product in reality and quick
time. Solidworks software allows developers to give form to their out of the box ideas.
Wherever Ansys is a pro software in anlysing and used in many industries. However,
this requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the entire softwares and its basic
as well as important features.
