Suggested preparation material:
- SolidWorks Built in Tutorial- SolidWorks 2013- CSWP/CSWA preparation
- SolidProfessor self-learning Videos
- SolidWorks sample paper
- Other Resources: Google, YouTube, Blogs, Forums
We recommend taking the following SolidWorks Training Classes:
What do I need to take my CSWP? Required:
- Connection to the Internet
- VirtualTester Client
- Commercial or Student Edition license SolidWorks 2008 or later
- Dual monitors (If Possible)
Exam structure:
- Three segments varying from 40 to 90 mins
- Once a segment is passed user never has to repeat that segment
- User can take segments in any order and at any time
- Once all three segments are passed user automatically receives CSWP certificate
- Create a part from a drawing
- Use linked dimensions and equations to aid in modeling
- Use of equations to relate dimensions
- Update of parameters and dimension sizes
- Mass property analysis
- Modification of geometry on initial part to create a more complex part
- Creating configurations from other configurations
- Changing configurations
- Mass properties
- Changing features of an existing SolidWorks part
- Creating an assembly
- Adding parts to an assembly
- Doing collision detection when moving a part in an assembly
- Mates
- Replacing a part with another part in an assembly
- Creating a coordinate system
- Using a coordinate system to perform mass properties analysis
- Lack of preparation: Research now shows that the lack of natural talent is irrelevant to great success. The secret - Painful and demanding practice and hard work.
- Not paying attention to the question: Read carefully and understand the question first. Pay attention to radius and diameter.
- Do not make it difficult to update: Use Global variables or Design table.
- Use many sketches and features: Avoid many sketches, use contour selection.
