Training Courses at Digital Dimensions, Inc.

Effective training is essential to achieving the productivity gains that SolidWorks is designed to produce for engineering and design professionals. To assist you in achieving your goals, DDi provides instructor led classroom training and streaming video based training programs.

SolidWorks Learning Plan.

The DDi SolidWorks Learning Plan entitles one designated individual to:
* SolidWorks Essentials - 5 day, SolidWorks Advanced - 4 day

SolidWorks Phase One Training (Essentials).

Duration: 5 days
Description: Classroom based course to establish a foundation of skills necessary to begin implementation. Included in the instruction is basic part modeling, cut, revolved features, linear and circular patterns, thin walled (shelled) parts, bills of material creation and item/part identification (ballooning). Additional topics include assembly modeling, detail drawing creation, and student-specific issues.

SolidWorks Phase Two Training (Advanced).

Duration: 4 days
Description: This classroom based course is focused on advanced part and assembly modeling techniques.  Topics include: multibody solids, sweeping, lofting, and more advanced shaping capabilities of SolidWorks.  Students will also learn how to maximize the use of the assembly modeling capabilites of SolidWorks.

Sheet Metal & Weldments

Duration: 2 days
Description: This classroom based course teaches you how to build sheet metal & weldment parts using SolidWorks. Building standalone sheet metal parts, converting conventional parts to sheet metal, and creating welded structures with standard structural members are covered.

SolidWorks Surfacing Modeling

Duration: 2 days
Description: Classroom based course teaches the student how to build freeform shapes using SolidWorks mechanical design automation software.

Mold Design Using SolidWorks

Duration: 2 days
Description: Classroom based course designed to teach you several manual mold creation techniques and how to use the Mold Tools in Solidworks mechanical design automation software.

SolidWorks Routing

Duration: 3 days
Description: Classroom based course teaches the student how create, edit and manage Piping, Tubing, and Electrical routes, from the critical routing components and their design requirements to the sub-assemblies that contain the routes.

SolidWorks Workgroup PDM.

Duration: 1 day
Description: The goal of the morning session is to teach you how to use the SolidWorks Workgroup PDM to manage design documents. The focus is on the fundamental skills and concepts central to the successful use of Workgroup PDM. The afternoon session is to teach administrative users of Workgroup PDM the setup and management of the vault.

Optional SolidProfessor Workgroup PDM Training CD.

SolidWorks Simulation Professional Bundle

Duration: 3 days
Description: SolidWorks Simulation (Intro to FEA) + SolidWorks Simulation Professional courses.  See course descriptions and prerequisites below.

SolidWorks Simulation (Intro to FEA)

Duration: 2 days
Description: Classroom based course covering linear stress analysis, gap/contact analysis, and best practices. Analysis features are discussed using an integrated approach to the Simulation software from within the SolidWorks environment. Finally, examples of parts and assemblies including those with various gap/contact conditions are reviewed.
Prerequisites:  Knowledge of SolidWorks and basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended.

SolidWorks Simulation Professional

Duration: 1 day
Description: Classroom based course that begins with Day 1 Simulation material and goes on to teach students how to use the SolidWorks Simulation Professional software to help you perform frequency, thermal, buckling, drop test, optimization, fatigue, and ASME Pressure Vessel analyses on your SolidWorks part and assembly models.
Prerequisites:  Must have attended the basic Solidworks Simulation class.

SolidWorks Simulation Premium:  Nonlinear

Duration: 2 days
Description: This 2-day course provides an overview on a wide range of nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics.  You will learn how to deal with models that exhibit large displacements and/or yielding, discuss and practice the use of many material models available in SolidWorks Simulation and, most importantly, how to drive a nonlinear analysis to successful completion. 
Prerequisites:  Must have attended the basic SolidWorks Simulation class.

SolidWorks Simulation Premium:  Advanced Dynamics

Duration: 2 days
Description: This course is targeted for the users who would like to become productive in analyzing structures subjected to various types of dynamic loading.  The material covered includes the time dependent analysis (force loads as well as motion shock loading examples), harmonic analysis, and random vibration analysis (MILS-STD-810F example is included).
Prerequisite:  Must have attended the basic SolidWorks Simulation class.  The knowledge of basic principles in Vibrations is strongly recommended, but not required.

Flow Simulation

Duration: 2 days
Description: This introductory course offers hands-on training on the use of SolidWorks Flow Simulation.  The material covered includes internal/external, laminar/turbulent flow, conduction/convection/radiation heat transfer, and electronic cooling.
Prerequisite:  Knowledge of SolidWorks and basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended.

3DVIA Composer

Duration: 2 days
Description: This course teaches you how to use the 3DVIA Composer software to create 2D and 3D output from CAD design data.  Topics include the use of advanced functions to create, share, and distribute content.
