Computer Design and Machining: Solidworks

General objectives

Apply the tools of the SolidWorks program to work with any type of product, from
basic designs to complex designs, considering different materials and finishes, and
incorporating cross-cutting concepts related to circular economy.

Specific objectives

• Analyze the structure and elements of 3D design programs.
• Apply the instructions to carry out various parameterized operations identifying the properties of the files.
• Establish the types of assemblies and changes in 3D design, configuring the explosion and packaging mechanisms.
• Formulate advanced design and assembly operations.
• Analyze the structure and elements of 2D design programs and incorporate transversal concepts applicable to design in a global perspective.
