WHAT IS CSWA?

Any one heard what is CSWA Program?

Let's see what it is?


The Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) Certification Program provides the skills
students need to work in the design and engineering fields. Successfully passing the
CSWA Exam assessment proves competency in 3D CAD modeling technology,
application of engineering principles, and recognition of global industry practices.
The exam features hands-on challenges in many of these areas:
  1. Sketch entities - lines, rectangles, circles, arcs, ellipses, centerlines
  2. Sketch tools - offset, convert, trim
  3. Sketch relations
  4. Boss and cut features - extrudes, revolves, sweeps, lofts
  5. Fillets and chamfers
  6. Linear, circular and fill patterns
  7. Dimensions
  8. Feature conditions – start and end
  9. Mass properties
  10. Materials
  11. Inserting components
  12. Standard mates - coincident, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, concentric, distance, angle
  13. Reference geometry – planes, axis, mate references
  14. Drawing sheets and views
  15. Dimensions and model items
  16. Annotations
  17. Simulation Xpress

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS TO SOLID WORKS

1 How do you create a Revolve feature?

Answer: A Revolve feature is created by rotating a 2D profile around an axis of
revolution. Sketch a profile on a 2D plane. Optionally sketch a centerline to be used as
an axis. The profile must not cross the axis of revolution. Click the Revolved Boss/
Base tool. Enter a rotation angle.



2 What two sketches are required to create a Sweep feature?
Answer: The sweep feature requires a Sweep Path sketch and a Sweep Section sketch.



3 Examine the Before and After pictures at the        
right. What sketch tool should you use to delete                     Before
the unwanted portions of the lines and circles?      
                                                                                                           After
Answer: The Trim tool.


4 Where can you find additional sketch tools that
are not located on the Sketch Tools toolbar?
Answer: Click Tools, Sketch Entities from the main menu.


5 Multiple choice. Examine the illustration at the right. How         
should you create this object?
a. Use a Revolve feature
b. Use a Sweep feature
c. Use an Extrude feature with the option Draft while extruding.
Answer: c.


6 Examine the illustration of the ellipse at the right. The two
axes are labeled A and B. Identify the two axes.
Answer: A is the major axis and B is the minor axis.


7 True or False. A Base feature is always an Extrude feature.
Answer: False


8 True or False. A sketch must be fully defined in order to create a Revolve feature.
Answer: False


9 Study the illustration at the right. In the
space provided, indicate what SolidWorks
feature would be best to use for each part of
the hand wheel.
Answer:
The Hub: Revolve feature_____________
The Spoke: Sweep feature ____________
The Rim: Revolve feature _____________

APPLICATION TO DESIGN TABLE



DESIGN TABLE IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY WHICH DESIGN CUPS

A design table saves design time. With a single part and a design table you can create
numerous versions of the cup without having to model each one individually.



Other ideas include hardware such as nuts and bolts, pipe fittings, wrenches, pulleys, or shelf brackets. If any of your students have an interest in bicycling, suggest looking at the chainring on a mountain bike. Is someone interested in cars? An automotive wheel (rim) would work well with a design table. Look around the classroom. Do you have different size paperclips? Collaborate with a teacher in another discipline. For example, a science teacher might have different sizes of glassware such as test tubes or beakers that they can loan you.
