The SolidWorks 2024 Black Book is the 11th edition of our series on SolidWorks. With lots of additions and thorough review, we present a book to help professionals as well as learners in creating some of the most complex solid models. The book follows a step-by-step methodology. In this book, we have tried to give real-world examples with real challenges in designing. We have tried to bridge the gap between university use of SolidWorks and industrial use of SolidWorks. In this edition of book, we have included many new features of SolidWorks as per the latest enhancements of software. The book covers almost all the information required by a learner to master the SolidWorks. The book starts with sketching and ends at advanced topics like Mold Design, Sheetmetal, Weldment, SolidWorks CAM, Rendering, and MBD. Some of the salient features of this book are:
