SolidWorks 2026 Black Book (13th Edition) is a comprehensive, practical guide for mastering SolidWorks 2026-the industry-leading software for 3D design, simulation, and manufacturing. Designed for beginners, professionals, educators, and hobbyists alike, this book goes beyond a traditional manual to serve as a real-world companion for learning, applying, and excelling with SolidWorks. The book begins with core fundamentals, guiding readers through installation, interface customization, workflows, file management, and best practices to build a strong foundation. It then moves into detailed coverage of sketching and dimensioning, progressing from basic geometry to advanced constraints, tolerances, and design intent-ensuring accuracy and reliability in every model. Advanced 3D modeling techniques are explored in depth, including extrusions, sweeps, lofts, boundary features, fillets, chamfers, and equation-driven designs. Assembly modeling is covered thoroughly, with both bottom-up and top-down approaches, advanced mates, exploded views, magnetic mates, and motion studies to analyze component interaction and system behavior. Specialized modules expand capabilities in surfacing, sheet metal, and weldments, preparing users for diverse industry applications ranging from aesthetic design to structural fabrication. Integrated real-world exercises throughout the book bridge theory and practice, helping readers transition confidently from concept to production. Simulation and optimization tools such as AnalysisXpress and FloXpress are introduced to evaluate stress, flow, manufacturability, sustainability, and cost efficiency. Advanced topics including deformation tools, macros, mesh modeling, and automation help streamline workflows, improve consistency, and boost productivity. Each chapter follows a structured, step-by-step approach with clear explanations, practical examples, and self-assessment sections to reinforce learning and support progressive skill development. Who this book is for: Students seeking strong fundamentals and industry-relevant skills Professionals aiming to advance modeling, simulation, and manufacturing expertise Educators needing structured, classroom-ready content Hobbyists turning creative ideas into functional designs With its clear organization, hands-on approach, and trusted legacy, the SolidWorks 2026 Black Book helps users streamline workflows, reduce errors, and optimize designs for performance and cost.
