MySolidWorks Lessons are individual learning modules consisting of explanations, videos, and quizzes to help you learn at your own pace. Choose from hundreds of lessons created by SOLIDWORKS experts.
MySolidWorks eCourses are complete courses converted from the SOLIDWORKS instructor-led training manuals into self-paced eLearning. These courses employ professional-quality design, guided practice, offline exercises, and highly interactive content.
In this Learning SolidWorks 2016 training course, expert author Matt Perez will teach you about the tools and techniques needed for 3D surface and model design in SolidWorks. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no previous experience with SolidWorks is required.
You will start by learning how to customize the user interface, shortcuts, and templates. From there, Matt will teach you about sketching, including basic and advanced sketch entities, 3D sketch, and reference geometry. This video tutorial also covers modeling a machine part, a molded part, a sheetmetal weldment, and complex geometry. You will also cover topics including sketch editing, assemblies, visualization, configurations, and drawings. Finally, Matt will provide you with additional tips and tricks for working in SolidWorks.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned everything you need to know to create your own 3D models and drawings in SolidWorks. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
In this SolidWorks 2015 training course, expert author Dean Kerste will teach you how to create sketches, 3D models, and engineering drawings using the tools in SolidWorks. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no previous experience with SolidWorks is required.
You will start by learning basic and intermediate sketching techniques, including lines, rectangles, polygons, and fillets.
From there, you will explore basic and intermediate 3D features, such as extruded and revolved features, lofts, circular patterns, and reference geometry. This video tutorial will then cover how to build assemblies and apply mates between the corresponding parts. Dean will then show you how to use the parts and assemblies to create a drawing. Finally, you will learn how to add dimensions, notes, and a bill of materials in the drawing environment.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of using these tools and techniques to create your own 3D models and drawings using this 3D modeling software. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
Topics include:
01. Introduction

10. Drawing Annotations
11. Conclusion
SolidWorks is a solid modeling CAD and CAE program that runs on Microsoft Windows. The traditional training model for SolidWorks is that a company will purchase software and go through training in a live classroom. The training is usually 1 to 5 days long, depending on the technical depth. Everything goes great. The teacher is terrific, the students are enthusiastic. They feel confident that they have a handle on the technology.
The SolidProfessor model has sought to address that gap with a video-based training platform. It allows users to go back to and refresh themselves and learn new skills, all through a keyword or function search. It also allows for varying learning modes, e.g., auditory, visual or kinisthtic learners, as well as pacing.
E-learning has spot in the learning curriculum, for special needs and special cases. We have to be careful to understand the situation and the business needs. The customer may not realize what they really need. Customers focused on on-line training initially such that they complete the basics in a short period of time is an option to an in-class blast of the basics. The initial understanding of the technology is required prior to contributing in a production environment (inclass or E-learning blast).
There is nothing wrong with with CAD and CAE. Over my 30+ years in mechanical design spanning defense and commercial, I have performed designs and led design groups at the IC and manager level. CAD and CAE tools cut out so much development time: but there is a downside, It is just a tool that will be abused.
In my opinion (humble or not)
The weak link in learning anything is application.
You cannot learn to drive by reading a book, taking a class or watching a video.
You have to get behind the wheel and drive!
The same thing with any software program. cad or otherwise.
I have watched some SolidpProfessor videos on YouTube and found them very helpful.
They are a great resource. Same thing goes for Infinite Skills, Lynda and host of others.
Watch the video, read the book, take the class, then use the software.
The more it is used, in as many different ways as possible, the more skilled the designer becomes.
There are a lot of great comments here. Thanks everyone! Anything else that would be good for MDO to look into when it comes to SolidWorks training, or training in general in the medical device manufacturing industry?
