This book was written by the authors based on years of experience in computer drafting and teaching practice. It primarily introduces the usage methods, basic knowledge, and techniques of CAXA Solid Design software developed by Beihai Navigating Marine Software Company. The book consists of 19 chapters. Chapter 1, "Overview of CAXA Solid Design," introduces the fundamental knowledge of CAXA design. Chapter 2 covers the application of 3D Sphere. Chapter 3 discusses the solid design of simple parts. Chapter 4 focuses on the design of typical solid parts. Chapter 5 addresses issues in the design of complex solid parts. Chapter 6 explores the application of tool design elements and the conversion of solid designs into 2D drawings. Chapter 7 introduces techniques and tools for designing complex shapes. Chapter 8 covers 3D Sphere assembly techniques. Chapter 9 discusses the positioning and editing of primitives and parts. Chapter 10 explains methods of assembly using constraints and unconstrained methods. Chapter 11 presents techniques for freely assembling parts. Chapter 12 covers sheet metal design. Chapter 13 introduces design methods for surface-related issues in solid design. Chapter 14 explains parametric design methods. Chapter 15 discusses the design of parts such as rotatable bodies using 2D auxiliary tools. Chapter 16 covers rendering and lighting design. Chapter 17 discusses simple animation design and the assembly of exploded animation for parts. Chapter 18 introduces techniques for creating animations. Chapter 19 addresses data transfer issues in CAXA Solid Design.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes the CAXA Solid Design 2005 Learning Edition software, as well as examples and exercise illustrations from the textbook, providing readers with valuable assistance in mastering the software. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and vocational colleges with a teaching duration of 40-50 hours, and can also serve as a training manual or self-study reference.
