About the SolidWorks for Weldment course

Many machines and structures are built from welded steel sections: machine bases, conveyor frames, skids, trolleys, platforms, railings and storage racks. SOLIDWORKS Weldments lets designers create these frames quickly by sketching a layout and placing standard profiles such as angles, channels, beams, pipes and square tubes along it, with an automatic cut list for fabrication.

In this 20-hour add-on course you learn the complete weldment workflow: 2D and 3D layout sketches, Structural Member with standard and custom profiles, corner treatments, Trim/Extend, End Cap, Gusset, Weld Bead and fillet beads, and creating your own profile library. You then manage cut list items and properties and prepare weldment drawings with cut list tables and balloons. All practice is hands-on on the software using frame and structure examples, in the classroom at a CADD centre or in live online classes.

The course is ideal for design engineers in fabrication, material handling and special purpose machine companies, and pairs well with the SolidWorks Sheet Metal and Simulation courses.

You will be able to

  • Create 2D and 3D layout sketches for welded frames
  • Place structural members with standard and custom profiles
  • Apply corner treatments and trim or extend members correctly
  • Add gussets, end caps and weld beads to a frame
  • Create and use a custom weldment profile library
  • Manage cut lists and prepare weldment drawings with cut list tables

Who it is for

  • Mechanical engineering students who know SolidWorks basics
  • Design engineers in fabrication, conveyor and machine-building companies
  • Draughtsmen who prepare welded frame drawings
  • SolidWorks users who design skids, platforms and structures

What you need

  • Working knowledge of SolidWorks sketching and part modeling
  • Basic awareness of steel sections and welding is helpful
  • For live online classes: a Windows PC with at least 16 GB RAM and a dedicated graphics card

SolidWorks for Weldment course — FAQ

What are weldments in SolidWorks?

Weldments are multi-body parts built from structural profiles placed along sketch lines. They are used for welded frames such as machine bases, conveyor frames, platforms and racks, with an automatic cut list.

Who should take the SolidWorks weldment course?

SolidWorks users in mechanical design, such as students, draughtsmen and design engineers, who need to design welded frames and structures. Basic part modeling skills are needed.

How long is the SolidWorks weldment course?

The weldment course is 20 hours, covering layout sketches, structural members, frame features, profile libraries, cut lists and weldment drawings.

Is the SolidWorks weldment course available online?

You can choose either: a CADD centre classroom or live online SolidWorks Weldment classes, where you build each welded frame on your PC and get doubts cleared during the session.

Will I get a certificate after the weldment course?

You receive a CADD Training Centre certificate for SolidWorks Weldment. Its unique verification code lets a fabrication company check it online at any time.

Where are SolidWorks weldment skills used?

They are used in fabrication shops, conveyor and material handling firms, special purpose machine builders and structural equipment makers, for roles like design engineer and fabrication draughtsman.

Can I add custom profiles to SolidWorks weldments?

Yes. You can create your own profile sketches, for example Indian standard sections, save them as library features in the weldment profiles folder and use them like the built-in profiles.
