Solidworks (Project based approach)

Overview

Prototypes can be individual parts or complete cars, and once they’re built, they can be put through their paces to see how well they do and, in some cases, tested to destruction if necessary. Traditional prototyping was a slow and expensive process because, even with the best engineers, theory wasn’t always borne out in practice. The constant back and forth between drawing board and prototypes was costly and enormously time-consuming. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) for designing and simulating the performance of products changed things entirely, with the inevitable consequence that cars can now be engineered, prototyped and tested in a virtual world before any physical prototypes are built. Manufacturers can get closer than ever before to the finished result before prototypes roll into a wind tunnel or onto a test track.

Program Objective

             The course deals with the creating and designing parts, assembling models and product development using Solidworks. It goes through a complete walkaround of the software user interface, tools, commands and operations to enhance your skill as CAD Design Engineer

             The course starts with basic introduction of software and its implementation and application in various fields and industries. The course is focused on complete automobile product development from the initial sketch to final assembly. The course will optimise your skills and will make you competent for Solidworks Associate (CSWA) and Solidworks Professional (CSWP) certification exams. The first module covers the designing of an electric scooter starting with the development of chassis design on a two dimensional sketch with considering vehicle parameters. Then adding structural members to the 3D sketch or a wireframe design of the chassis. The next videos cover the braking subsystem, suspension system and powertrain designing. The final videos consist of assembling the design parts in bottom down assembly configuration and rendering the final product.

            The Electric Car module covers the design and development of an electric sedan. The videos starts with the phase of chassis development, suspension system, steering system, braking, powertrain and drivetrain. All the vehicle parts of subsystems are designed individually and then assembled to form the subassembly. The latter also include designing of a monocoque chassis using surface and solid modelling. The complete outlook of the vehicle including the interiors is modelled using surface design. The subassemblies are assembled using constraints and configurations in Assembly mode of Solidworks. The vehicle is featured with exploded view and animation with rendering. The course also includes chain sprocket design with Assembly in Solidworks.

            DIYguru course also offers BAJA and FSAE vehicle development modules for SAE event preparations which will aid the students for their competitions and upskilling them in their team. The modules cover the required design and simulation according to the rulebook parameters using Solidworks.

Learning Outcomes

4. Working in Functional areas such as R&D, Analysis, Maintenance, Projects, component design, etc.
5. Interested in pursuing further studies on the part-time or full-time basis in Design and Engineering Sector.

Technical Requirements

The program to give its best will need the following requirements:

1. Computer/ Laptop will provide you with the best experience, but this program is quite compatible with smartphones to make it feasible for students worldwide.
2. High-speed internet for crystal clear experience, but this program can also run without buffering with below-average connectivity for reaching out to students from suburban and rural areas.
3. A student should make their notes for future reference.
4. A student should have basic knowledge about high-school physics, maths, and chemistry, even though the pre-requisite of this program will brush up one’s basic concepts.
5. A student should have a compatible computer for SOLIDWORKS CAD software so that they can practice with the progress of the course.
