Looking for general modelling books for Soliworks 2001/20033
(OP)
Hi - I'm a part professional /part hobbyist Solidworks user recently upgraded to Solidworks 2003. I use Solidworks in my professional area to 'model' equipment designs for presentation to clients (I'm an industrial ceramist and design kilns , stoves etc:) nothing too elaborate but enough to 'sell' ideas and good enough for costing purposes etc: I also have a keen hobby interest in woodworking and home construction projects and tend to use Solidwords again for modelling mock ups of ideas I have. I'm looking for a decent book and also online tutorials that can expand on using Solidworks for modelling projects not specifically involved with mechanical engineering .
I'd appreciate any ideas on this .......
thank in advance

I recently purchased the Inside Solidworks 2003 book by David Murray. It covers the basics of solid modeling as well as goes into a little more depth on features of using SW2003. It stays away from the in depth mechanical stuff that you don't need. It is a good book for beginner to intermediate users. You can find it at Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.

1) Engineering Design with SolidWorks 2001Plus
2) Assembly Modeling with SolidWorks 2001plus/2003
They are wrote by David C. Planchard and Marie P.
Planchard, which I have and have gone through. Very good books.
