Description
McGraw Hill Introduction To Solid Modeling by William E Howard
Introduction to Solid Modeling Using SolidWorks® 2013 by Howard and Musto remains the market
leader in educating students on the use of solid modeling software for engineering applications.
Accessible and up-to-date, the text relates solid modeling exercises to engineering concepts in a way that
introduces the engineering design process while simultaneously building student proficiency with
SolidWorks® , the state-of-the-art software tool.
Salient Features
• Treating solid modeling as a design tool by emphasizing the parametric features of solid models to
capture the engineer's design intent.
• Introducing the usefulness of the solid model for purposes such as creating 2-D drawings,
determining mass properties of components, and simulating motion.
• Integrating solid modeling with component manufacturing, including the generation of molds, sheet
metal patterns, and rapid prototyping files from component models.
