Abstract

Solidworks can draw vivid 3D model, it can dynamically show the cut process and can get virtual assembly and assembly exploded view. It start from the perspective of the classroom, examples discussed the ability of solidworks to establish basic volume model, dynamic display the difficult issues in the course of mechanical design and drafting, such as plane intersects with the basic volume model, assembly and exploded view. It is also investigated the role of solidworks enrich the teaching content, improve students' ability of spatial imagination and design skills, stimulate students' interest in learning, enhance the ability of student drawings and identify drawings. It is demonstrated that the using of solidworks for classroom can effectively reduce teaching and learning difficulty, enhance students' interest in learning and helps to achieve good teaching results.
