I am working through the tutorials of the Engineering Stimulus Program.
The free software I downloaded does not include the toolbox, the third tutorial
requires bolts and washers to complete the assmebly. Referenced is www.solidworks.nl
but I can't find it there so I didn't finish my assembly. If anbody out there has been
able to add the toolbox or find the hardware please provide assistance.
I now am working through the sixth tutorial and it requires a templates.zip file.
Oboe Wu provided the internet location of the files but i don't know where to install
them in my computer. Again assistance will be very much appreciated.
I think the Engineering Stimulus Program is a great idea but learning a program as
complicated as SolidWorks requires solid support. It's hard enough for the beginner
to just grasp the concepts; we should not have to be frustrated searching the internet for
program files. I think solidWorks should take a closer look at this program and de-bug it.
Bolts and washers are pretty simple to model, why not have a go at them? You can also go to McMaster-Carrs website and find the bolt and washer you need, hit their download button, and download a 3D SW file. 3D Content Central from SW is also a place to look.
For your templates, I assume these are drawing/part/assembly templates. As long as you know where you unzipped them to, just go to tools>options>system options>file locations, and point SW to the correct locations for your templates.
