CAD/design training activities

[mplanchard]

When you register for SolidWorks sponsorship you will get a link to robot tutorials. SolidWorks, SolidWorks Simulation (FEA), SolidWorks Flow Simulation, and SolidWorks Composer are all based on the Seabotix Robot. The tutorials are short, 2 hrs or less but will give your team an idea about using CAD to design a robot, apply forces and document.

We are working on more tutorials this summer and will be available in the Fall.

I spend alot of time at engineering colleges. One of the reasons for your team to learn SolidWorks is because SolidWorks is not only used in industry but is also used at the college level. In engineering school, you have no time to learn software for it is just expected for you to know it.

The robot off season is a great time for your team to learn new skills.
