Engineering CAD with SOLIDWORKS — Book 2 (Advanced) Student Practice Site

Advanced modeling, on the road to CSWP.

Self-grading quizzes, mass and center-of-mass calculators, bend-allowance tools, and feature-recognition drills for every chapter of Engineering CAD with SOLIDWORKS — Book 2: Advanced SolidWorks. Nothing here is graded or recorded — practice as many times as you like.

Aim This book prepares you for the CSWP (Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional), taken as three segments. Score 80%+ on a chapter quiz and you're in shape.

Use it with the software open. Every drill assumes SOLIDWORKS is running and the free official Advanced Topics, Sheet Metal, and Weldments training files are downloaded (Chapter 1 shows where: solidworks.com/support/training/training-files).
