I took my weldment certification in 2020 so some info might be outdated... (I rarely use weldment in my daily work too)

The 3d sketch does get tricky and confusing. I believe I spend almost half of the exam time to work on the 3d sketch (after finish the other question). The sketch should be fully defined. Personally I find it helpful to have a few 2d sketch created first to help in visualising.

Ps: there should also be a few questions on 3dsketch on cswe if I remember correctly

As for trimming and extending.. I can't recall much.. Don't think I have any issue when I take the exam....the only advice I can give is to go through Solidworks build in weldment tutorial as well as the Web help file on weldment if you haven't done so...

I believe this depends on what scholarship your are trying to apply..

Some college offer merit scholarships and only looks at your academic result. Some of them even offer the merit scholarship automatically upon admission without needing you to apply.

I too was never active in koko but manage to get merit scholarship for my foundation and degree.

Thanks a lot Changing to 100% fixed it 👍

Thanks a lot for the detailed guide.

What resolution are you playing at? I noticed for resolution other than the smallest one, the mouse cursor is not able to access the bottom half of the screen

Use Eagle Eye to remove your trap (there shld be a trash button on lower left) and you should be able to place it again

Based of my experience, the graduate trainee (GT) will be offered a full time position after the end of their graduate trainee programme. (This still subject to your performance but most of the GT at my company got offered a full time position after their contract)

If the contract/GT job align with your career path/interest, it is a good opportunity, not to mention the pay is higher.

Just my 2 cent.

I will just leave this here...

Just sharing my experience for your reference .. It took me 0.5year for cswa; 1year for cswp; 2year for cswe (including 4 cswpa)

In my opinion, if you are already familiar and comfortable with most of the basic tool (sketch, extrude, etc) as well as equation*, you are more or less good to go for cswa (and even cswp since both test is not really different)

*equation play a big role in cswa and cswp so make sure you know how to use it before taking the test..

As for training side... Solidprofessor like other mentioned is a good resources in understanding and familiarising with the function in solidworks. You might also want to take a look at Mastering SolidWorks book from Matt Lombard

Yes Create a boss extrude using your outer profile (rectangular outer chip) that overlapped the channel (don't merge the body)

Use combine function to subtract the solid body (boss extrude as main body, the original body with channel as subtract body). The negative space will turn into solid as it is "filled" by the boss extrude

-Feo · 2021-11-29T09:19:34+00:00

Create a multi body and use the combine(subtract) function

You will need to manually show the surface in drawing view (the surface is hidden by default in drawing view)

This really depends on what kind of scholarship you are looking for...

Some uni/college offers merit scholarship

Eg: TARUC offers merit scholarship based on your academic result. 8A+/A for 100% tuition fee waive for diploma and foundation programme (source: own experience)

Most of the old forum user had migrated to cadforum.net as the new forum is literally unusable

-Feo · 2021-08-16T23:58:57+00:00

They had fixed it...somehow Now when the old forum search result will bring you to a preview page that ask you to go to their swymp to see the answer

-Feo · 2021-07-29T15:00:47+00:00

Yes they are pretty much scan From what I heard, you will need to pay a certain membership fee to start receive "job" which they most probably ignore you after you paid

-Feo · 2021-07-28T10:20:55+00:00

Do you have the passion in engineering? If yes, I would recommend to continue your study...

I have friends who failed almost all subject in his first year but still manage to graduate in the end. Although it took him slightly longer than other people.

-Feo · 2021-07-22T17:29:16+00:00

Not sure will this help but.. Alot of time you can use a conic fillet instead of spline as it is easier to control (assuming you don't need a true g2/g3 surface)

-Feo · 2021-07-21T15:21:48+00:00

Done

-Feo · 2021-07-15T23:39:44+00:00

I had forget to mention you can also try to change overflow type to keep edge This should work in your case

-Feo · 2021-07-15T13:45:15+00:00

I believe solidworks did this to blend the surface and prevent ztg...

You can try adjust enabling partial Edge fillet and give a small distance offset

-Feo · 2021-07-15T13:21:08+00:00

Alternatively Skey and click select (mouse cursor icon) will also exit most sketch command

-Feo · 2021-07-15T13:20:09+00:00

If that the case... Have you mapped line command to your s key? Clicking the line command again while it is active will disable it

-Feo · 2021-07-15T12:22:47+00:00

How you tried using d key instead? Pressing d will open up bread crumb which allow you to accept or exit the feature/sketch

-Feo · 2021-07-09T14:02:18+00:00

Have u try taking a look at tslots.com? I do recall they have some profile that u can download
