Parametric Modeling in SolidWorks using Excel Video Tutorial

In this video tutorial we will design Multiple configuration/sizes of one standard part using design table in Excel with configuration in SolidWorks. This video tutorial is very important considering industrial aspects. In Industries many times need arises to create standard sizes of a single part multiple times like for hexagonal nut. In that case we use Configurations, Design tables to do that.

For this video tutorial we need very basic knowledge of MS Excel. Microsoft Excel is a very important software considering all type of industrial aspects. In mechanical and design engineering Excel is also very important. Therefore this video tutorial is important to all mechanical engineers, designers and especially students.

The way sketching is done looks very complicated but is done to keep all the references and relations with other sketches and features.

Things we learn in This video tutorial
1. Design Table
2. Configuration
3. Design Standards
4. SolidWorks Sketching & Modeling
a) Formulas
b) Linking dimensions
c) Equations in Dimensions
d) Managing Dimensioning
e) Dimensioning & Sketching intent.
5. Hexagonal Nut
6. Basic Drawing

ISO 4762 M8 Screw/Bolt and Nut Metric Profile thread and Assembly Modeling

ISO Standards are very important in Mechanical Industry. So to explain how to use design data books and and how to use ISO standards, I have created these video tutorials. In these video tutorials, I have explained how to create ISO metric profile thread in SolidWorks and how to mate them.

I have used PSG Design data book from PSG College Coimbatore. This is one of the best book available and complete in all aspects.
