In this SolidWorks tutorial we'll cover various assembly techniques, starting from the basics of assembly mates through more advanced assembly methods while at the same time building a wheel blade assembly . Along the way we'll Look at the SolidWorks Toolbox, Explore Various automation tools such as smart mates, insert mate References, use the Copy function with mates and then use the smart tool fasteners. As will be demonstrated, these methods can be very productive, and big time savers, but they also can be a bit cumbersome to use in certain situations. Also you'll learn some tips Along the way and be Warned to Avoid traps of. Ultimately, you'll be Leaving this with SolidWorks Training A good Understanding on how to use These techniques and automation Various Methods When plus and WHERE to apply in Them order to better define and speed up the SolidWorks assembly process.
