Application of Solidworks in the Teaching of Mechanical Design Course Design
In the teaching of mechanical design course design,Solidworks,a computer aided design software,is introduced as an auxiliary teaching method.Through the unique simulation function of the software,the virtual models of closed gear transmis-sion,bevel gear transmission,open gear transmission and sprocket winch mechanism are established.The transmission mecha-nisms are assembled,the design scheme is checked and optimized,and the motion simulation of the transmission device is real-ized,and the simulation design of the mooring device of the windlass is completed.It has trained the students'software skills,en-hanced the students'in-depth understanding and application of theoretical knowledge,stimulated the students′interest in the in-depth study of mechanical course,improved the students'level of mechanical design,helped to cultivate the students'engi-neering practice and comprehensive application ability,and achieved the expected teaching effect.
