    5 Unit A Lecture 01-13-2016

    This document describes the key characteristics of a feature-based parametric solid modeler. It distinguishes between sketched features, which are defined by 2D sketches, and applied features, which use existing geometry. The main components of the SolidWorks user interface are the sketch and features tabs. Different dimensioning methods convey different design intents, like relating dimensions to drive the model parametrically. The modeling process involves selecting a plane to sketch on, adding relations and dimensions to the 2D sketch, then creating extruded or cut features from it.
