#### About the exam

The exam may include practical exercises in some of the following areas:

**Part 1:** (70 minutes - 75 points to pass/105 points maximum)

- Creating a part from a drawing
- Use of linked dimensions and equations to facilitate modeling
- Use equations to establish relationships between dimensions
- Update parameters and dimensions
- Mass property analysis
- Modify the geometry of an initial part to create a more complex part
- Modify the parameters of a part at different stages, while maintaining all dimensions and design intent.

 

**Part 2**: (50 minutes - 77 points to pass/104 points maximum)

- Create configurations from other configurations
- Modify configurations
- Creating configurations using a family of parts
- Mass properties
- Modifying and/or rearranging the characteristics of an existing SOLIDWORKS part

**Part 3: **(80 minutes - 77 points to pass/109 points maximum)

- Creating an assembly
- Adding parts to an assembly
- Collision detection when moving a part in an assembly
- Interference detection
- Basic and advanced constraints
- Inserting sub-assemblies
- Replacing one part with another in an assembly
- Creating a coordinate system
- Using a coordinate system to analyze mass properties

 

The standard SOLIDWORKS tools that can be used during the examination are... Almost everything, in fact!

#### In case you fail

Don't panic, it happens. What's more, it's not your fault - we know SOLIDWORKS crashed.

You'll be able to take it again in 14 days, so get back to practicing in the meantime. You'll need a new code for the exam.
