- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Gabriel Corbett and welcome
to Steel Building Design with SOLIDWORKS Weldments.
In this course, we'll look at designed a welded and bolted
steel building using the SOLIDWORKS Weldments package.
The tools within SOLIDWORKS make designing structures
relatively easy and quick.
To get started, we'll go over techniques to quickly define
planes and draw the floor plan and elevation sketches.
We will then load standard materials
and quickly fabricate a structure.
Next, we'll cover patterning the components
and creating connections like bolt plates and foundations.
We will work with the orientation of the materials
by flipping, rotating and mirroring of the shapes
for the ideal fit as well as trimming and extending
of parts.
We will then look at designing our own custom Weldment
profiles and adding them into our building.
I will teach you quick and easy ways to adding gussets,
weld beads, bolt plates and holes,
then wrap it all up with assembly techniques
and documentation on drawings including Weldment cut lists
and so much more.
Now let's get started with Steel Building Design
with SOLIDWORKS Weldments.
