Sir, would you Please upload this model designing video. That will be very useful.

so nice

what happen when you woke up??? ahahah

you asked why solidworks was related to aerospace engineering?

you know it now, that's the most important thing

I also study aerospace engineering and I just downloaded solidworks. It's a nice comment to see

@@flborges I’m glad you liked it. It’s my favorite and dream engineering field. 👍🏻

Catia is better for Aerospace field, but keep up bro I also study Aerospace Engineering

Daniel Crawford ..can u please give me idea of freelancing jobs

How skilled are you?

@@with-Aryan I'm completed my diploma in mechanical engg work at R & D testing...& Validation ...

@@mukeshkumar-lm7mh how good are you at SOLIDWORKS and do you know any GD&T?

@@with-Aryan Hello do you teach in your course any GD&T?

You are wrong. It goes both ways. I have been a CAD (computer aided designer) for 30 years and most of the design is done by us. Most of our engineers are there to run calculations and analysis to make sure that our designs are up for the task. They have very little to zero design capabilities. Of course, there are some amazing design engineers that can do what I can't.

I get both your points and you both have more work experience than me. I have 10 years of engineering work and 15 years of SOLIDWORKS. @John, that hammer and chisel in the hands of a Michael Angelo would give you statues that leave you in awe.

@@jtcmlt1l am not wrong. Being able to draw or model something does not give you the ability to understand materials or manufacturing processes and the constrains they impose on the design.

@@johnbrown6189 Well, with 40 years in the engineering field, you should know that today drafters are way more diverse and take on a lot more responsibilities and challenges than back on the days. We have, and continue getting, "drafters" that can design, run calcs, run stress analysis, understand mechanical and structural loads and applications, etc, etc, etc. Engineers are freeing some of their time so they can invest it on things that we can't do.

​@@johnbrown6189 Check out the arrogance on that - "I am not wrong", okay pal, sure thing.

Thanks

Thanks for the idea!

Completely agree! I was waiting to see your 250$/hr design. Too bad that you exclude to show your own design.

I hid it

I’ll consider it

Wanted to be part of it.🤗🤗🤗

I recently joined the solidworks model mania this year and sadly, I lost. Forgot to hollow out a certain area of the object and missed the correct mass by a large number.

Boom

It does and if you have the right mentor you’ll get there much faster

hey it'd be nice to get your thoughts on the exam itself, I've done a handful of tutorials but it'd be cool to share experiences sometime

​@@randomness4272 I took and passed the CSWA with a perfect score in my Freshman or Sophomore year of college. The exam is okay, but honestly a lot of hiring managers I've spoken to are not overly impressed with the skill set that the CSWA requires. For example: you're not necessarily going to understand the need for hole wizard features, patterning features, etc. but those are critical for efficient and functional modeling. It also doesn't really give you more "expensive" skills like surface modeling (worth looking into if you want to do consumer product design), sheet metal design, design for plastic injection manufacturing, etc. Honestly I would look into getting skilled at Solidworks and aiming for the professional certification instead.

I did autoCAD back in the university, it was one of my favorite courses. Now because of Job market I want to specify in SOLIDWORKS and Fusion 360, possibly would love to learn ANSYS DISCOVERY too. What's your take on that. Is it possible I can be doing or learning all at the same? Please suggest and guide me

because solidworks doesnt make parts... YOU DO!@@Satchel456

Thanks and welcome

How many other reasons do you need?

@@with-Aryan for ?

Then don't compete there. DOnt bring your price down if you are good

@@with-Aryan Where would you suggest to advertise?

Had a similar experience as a dev, it's disheartening and not the way forward IMO. It's contracting but on a global scale and to the lowest desperate bidder for essentially slave labor.

@@phantomgarage1208 I'd suggest build your way out instead of subordinating yourself to indifferent asshole clients. Interpret that as you wish. Contract work is slave labor.

Matt, my experience on the other side is exactly the same. I've tried scouring through the upwork contractors as I've had people want to charge 50hrs for a part I can do in 2. I'm still looking for someone to contract reproduce drawings or reverse engineer from parts if you're still looking for side work.

Thanks a ton!

Glad to hear that

Thanks and welcome

Legend! What are you up to now?

If you do, kindly email it to me, so that I can have a look at it as well.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Bring it on

well said

How do you even get clients??

@@shiva8188 referrals, use your contacts, family etc. otherwise get a job 1st, then create a client list. If your the best, the clients will look for you. Win awards etc..

@@player1tv oh thank you im currently looking for job

Employees have to pay taxes too.

In india i am getting paid 15$ per day😅and it's above average....

for 8 hours of work?!

you are charging too low. Where you located?

I also have 10+ years using Creo, teaching it and setting up the configs and templates. But in the last 2 years I have been using Onshape more regularly and it is very similar to Solidworks but completely cloud based with built in PDM

Buddy Can you help me for solidworks freelansing ? I have a 7 years of work experience in solidworks .

Very well said

be careful with these service seekers, sometime they just post a job, just to get an interview with you. just enough to get an idea on how it can be done. before doing by themselves

exactly, people dont get it there are million people from India, China , Bangladesh who work for 5 dollar per hour. also, you need to have relebvant experience at industry and references

I agree, that's why I just uploaded a new video yesterday and explained that

Yes, definitely! Definately! You'll find the way, just do it

Hi Sunraii, Most students learn 2 semesters every week 2-4hours the basics. So it's definitely possible.

@@with-Aryan I'm 3d modeler in solid works I want job

This happens in our field buddy. Sorry to hear it. Ive trained a replacement before too.

could you explain more what those terms mean? inspire cast and solidification?

Inspire cast is a software that does solidification models. It allows you to set up pour temperature of metals and simulate the pour of casted metals into the designed mold. Inspire cast is made by Altair.

I don't! I have to look it up. IF you have a link for it, post it here. But no, the first model, despite its off limit dim. Was done well.

Yeah, took me also by surprise he didn't use Bounding Box... :P But truth be told, even Solidworks is so big of a program that no one can truly know all of the functions, and remember that there's a specific function for a niche task you're doing once a year or so.

Start already

Start doing jobs mate. Learn quicker that way.

Go for it!

who are your clients?

@@with-Aryan around 80% commercial & 20% residential customers

find a good mentor and follow their instructions perfectly. Practice along the way and never stop trying new ways.

You're welcome!

which 37 minute? My mini course?

I think he is talking about this object which is the main sub for the video

@@with-Aryanno, tap water tutorial

Yes! Student discount, entrepreneur discount, my discount if you enroll in my course, aviation discount. You have to find the best option for you.

The value you bring to your client through your work should define your rate not just years of experience. Do you do GD&T? Raise your rate. Do you do MDR usability? Raise it. But I'd say you are charging about right for now. Consider increasing it soon

@@with-Aryan I like that. I know I'm a good designer so I'll definitely remind customers that my ingenuity is part of the cost. Definitely do GD&T where needed. No MDR but I also do DFM. Will increase rate when I get my CSWA and CSWP passed. Been wanting to do it for years and you inspired me to do it.

Glad to hear

Thanks. I don't sell my designs

not any time soon because I have some lined up

best of luck. You won't need such complex designs for your CSWP

Yes, by the looks of it, he made swept a hollow profile, but there are some intersections. A better way that could work is first add all your material using a sweep and then bore out the internals with a cut sweep.

I've been an employee too and I too live in Germany. I understand. You could use your creativity to think outside the box and design a machine with the knowledge you have and use the connections from your current work to maybe start a company?

You’re welcome

First build it up again and then, you could try to build a portfolio for yourself. You need to build authority, then you could market yourself

Depends on the route you take. There are slower ways and faster ways and it all depends on you and your level of practice. Check my course it's the fastest way courses.solidworkstutorials.net/

You are absolutely correct. money is made by engineering not just modeling unrealistic designs

Hi Sir, would you mind if you give me your advice for witch field in solidworks I focus in and follow (most paid) : simulation or workflow or motion...? Because I'm new in this mater. Thank you in advance

​@@soufiane6596 My advice is. Go to the university. (or start somewhere like draftsman....) Learn, listen, be humble and open minded. Listen older engineers with skill (becouse they already struggle with problem and engineeing is constantly struglle and fail.)Today many jobs are highly specialized. I do mostly sheet metal and welding structures.. So its depend. The most overpaid jobs in my field is Static engineer. No problem 10k per month. But this job requires deegre and many experience.

@@lukaskantor2645 Thank you Sir for your speeeeeed answer.

You could build a strong portfolio and increase your rate alongside with it

Not yet! there is no "right way". there are good ways and bad ways.

@@with-Aryan this is why I used the quotes.

hmm, here's my dilema. If I upload a 40 min long video just modeling one object, that video won't be watched at all. But it still takes a huge amount of time and money from me. So sometimes, even though I want to post something, it's effort to it's reward is so high that it makes me procrastinate or move on in general from that idea

Agreed to actually make that work, rather than just a pretty model is totally different.

Couldn't agree more. But don't forget that this was solely a SOLIDWORKS modeling test. None of these models were production-ready and (maybe unfortunately) I didn't define that for them in my request

In which parallel universe are we talking about a production ready model here (in both, the assignment and the results) ?

@@gerdokurt The assignment mentioned the tubes needing to be hollow so water gets through, and "it should work" was part of the request. So I would base my quote on something you could actually mount and run water through.

@@sleepib Bro, tell me how you mount it. I dont see any thread. How does the water goes in the tubes? Where are sealings, the sprayer etc. etc. etc.. This is not a production ready product, its not even a proper design prototype. you can probably print it and arrange it for a small foto... I wouldnt pay 30 euros for this. A guy in vietnam using freecad or blender does a model like that within an hour.

You are most welcome

exactly! that's why it lost more points

Absolutely

Its all about turnover, do what works for you. getting booked is the goal.

Well said!

it will soon change

more experience, more hourly rate. Watch my other video on how to increase your hourly rate

I wanted to, but it would be 38 minutes and most people are not patient for that anymore. Slow the video down to 0.25x, does it help?

@@with-Aryan I’m probably more patient than most ppl, appreciate the feedback

Agree

@@with-Aryan Please upload the video. I'm very willing to finish it. Thanks

The most important thing to work on first is a portfolio, go ahead and browser other Top portfolios on the same freelancing sights, and try and replicate them. Another thing that helps come up with a cost is just focus on an hourly rate, all you have to do now is just check how many hours it will take you to finish a gig. With practice all of this will become second nature.

Glad you liked it!

Do you offer any tolerancing, in your drawings? Or taking the manufacturablity into account? because your rate is fair and I want to understand what comes with it if I ordered from you

@@with-Aryan I do invest a lot of time in DFM prior to the modeling, work mostly with surfaces and curvatures (when applicable), and TRY to configure all models geometrically (not always easy😅). I consider myself an average 2D drawer but know my way through geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.

Good question! Both from East Asia

It can be 3D printed in a soft plastic and put it in a forge that replace the 3d print with metal. Like most of jewery was make but using plastic instead of wax. Tha hard part is to get the metal polished.

@@felipetesta You have a point. But do not forget that the twists in the faucet are also the water flow channels and they criss-cross one another. Polishing isn't that big of a problem, tumbling in fine sand or magnetic polishing will do.

@@autojando7223 yeah, it wont be easy to manufacture at all hahaha

Yes, 3D printing would be the way for this model

we can use injection molding as a manufacturing process , because there is no important pressor in the channels , and to solve the problem of the channels we can use a model have the form of the channels that will be eliminate by a chemical reaction after ejecting the part from the mold.

where do you usually look for clients? country, market etc?

most useful tools are some glorified version of their predecessors, aren't they?

Buddy Can you help me for solidworks freelansing ? I have a 7 years of work experience in solidworks .

The license question depends on the local reseller you find. SW doesn't sell their licenses directly. So depends on the reseller you buy from. As for the second question, I honestly don't know! If you find out, please do let me know so I share it here with other! It's an interesting question

Fiverr and Upwork

Nicolas, estudiaste algo para realizar los modelos? Me refiero a una ingenieria o algo de universidad? Ya que me voy a decantar por el modelaje 3d, modelo desde hace años, pero quiero enforcarme en SolidWorks, pero no he hecho ningun estudio en base de esto.

@@MrBroguiKLM hola, si, soy ingeniero Mecánico y estoy trabajando en diseño de producto hace 3 años... Digamos que el tema de modelaje 3D depende mucho de que tipo de pieza quieras hacer... Si lo que quieres es copiar formas existentes o crear formas propias en modelos 3d la habilidad requerida es más bien "artesanal" y no requiere de mucho estudio técnico ya que tiene que ver mucho más con tu dominio del programa y tu capacidad para visualizar y replicar formas, eso es más experiencia que otra cosa. Por otro lado, si lo que quieres es trabajar en una compañía o para alguien que te entregue planos o que te vaya a solicitar planos específicos con medidas o que te soliciten hacer piezas funcionales para máquinas, requieres de una capacitación mucho más específica... Lo que yo hago es diseño mecánico y conceptual apoyado en modelaje 3d, pero el modelado para temas virtuales como gaming, publicidad e incluso para impresión 3d en muchos casos, no requiere de mayor preparación académica, es más experiencia y práctica. Saludos!

Go for it

you are trippin

It all comes to a strong portfolio, start off small even provide complimentary work if you can get a review or a nice looking model to add to your portfolio, its a game-changer when it comes to finding more work.

First of all congratulations on achieving CSWA. Secondly, no man! Being an engineer comes with a sheer volume of experience, know-how, errors and learning . But don’t feel discouraged you are on the right track. Continue strong

by analyzing the design of cours?

of course! easily

right on Fiverr or Upwork...

Start by building a portfolio first

I'd say Upwork

what year was that

While buying a SolidWorks license can indeed be costly, there are a few alternatives you might consider: 1- Educational Version: If you are a student or an educator, you might be eligible for the educational version of SolidWorks. It's significantly cheaper than the commercial version, but please note it is not intended for commercial use. 2- Home Use License: Some organizations that have bought commercial licenses also have the ability to issue Home Use Licenses (HULs) to employees or students. You can check with your organization if they offer this. 3- Trial Version: Dassault Systèmes, the company behind SolidWorks, offers a free trial version that you can use for a limited time. 4- cSubscription Service: Some resellers might offer monthly or yearly subscriptions instead of outright purchase. This could potentially lower the upfront cost. 5- SOLIDWORKS for Entrepreneurs & Startups: Dassault Systèmes offers selected early-stage hardware startups a 12-month license. You have to apply for it, and acceptance isn't guaranteed. 6- SOLIDWORKS for Makers: This is a new program (as of 2021) aimed at individual hobbyists. It is offered at a significantly reduced price compared to commercial licenses. Remember that using borrowed or cracked versions of SolidWorks is not legal and could lead to serious consequences. Always ensure that you are using the software legally and ethically.

build a portfolio for yourself on GrabCAD and as many other platforms as you possibily can first, then come back here and I'll tell you the rest

go for it Alex!

Didn’t upload it

what do you mean?

@@with-Aryan I mean I want to see a video tutorial in CATIA about how to draw that part. I managed to create the base of the surface, but no way I can do the beak :)

Manully only! Not an automated way for that in solidworks

thank you for the reply@@with-Aryan

Alright! I add it to my list

It all depends on you man. You should understand that your skill does not equal how much money you make. Positioning yourself in the market is very important. But here are some things you can pay attention to: Specialize: Don't try to be a jack of all trades. Instead, focus on one or two areas of SolidWorks that you're really good at and enjoy doing. This could be anything from 3D modeling to simulation analysis. Build a strong portfolio: Your portfolio is the best way to showcase your skills. Make sure it includes your best work and demonstrates your abilities effectively. Networking: Connect with other professionals in your field. This could be through social media, online forums, or local meetups. Networking can lead to job opportunities and collaborations. Keep learning: The field of CAD is always evolving. Stay updated with the latest tools and techniques. This will make you more valuable to potential clients. Set competitive rates: When you're just starting out, you might need to set lower rates to attract clients. But don't undervalue your work. As you gain experience and improve your skills, don't be afraid to raise your rates. Remember, it's not just about how good you are at SolidWorks. It's also about how you present yourself and your work to potential clients. Good luck!

@@with-Aryan Thanks

you can gradually add to your rate by increasing your skill. I made a new video after this in which I explain how you can do that
