CSWP Advanced Features 5

Question 1

What is the function of the 'Deform' feature's 'Surface Push' type in SOLIDWORKS?

Accepted Answer

It pushes a region of a body inward or outward using a tool body or point as the deforming influence

Answer

Surface Push deformation uses a selected tool body or point to locally indent or bulge a target body, simulating pressured or impact-driven shape changes.

Question 2

When editing a Swept Cut that removes material along a path, which option controls whether the profile remains perpendicular to the path (normal) or keeps a fixed orientation in space?

Accepted Answer

Follow Path vs. Keep Normal Constant

Answer

'Follow Path' rotates the profile to stay normal to the sweep path; 'Keep Normal Constant' holds the profile's original orientation in world space throughout the sweep.

Question 3

In SOLIDWORKS, the 'Move/Copy Bodies' feature can both translate and rotate a body. What must you do to create a COPY instead of moving the original?

Accepted Answer

Check the 'Copy' checkbox and specify the number of copies in the PropertyManager

Answer

The Move/Copy Bodies PropertyManager has a 'Copy' checkbox; enabling it leaves the original body in place and creates the specified number of translated/rotated duplicates.

Question 4

Which tool in SOLIDWORKS evaluates whether two faces meet at a G1 (tangent) or G2 (curvature) boundary by visualizing highlight band continuity across the edges?

Accepted Answer

Zebra Stripes

Answer

Zebra Stripes simulate parallel light reflections across the model surface; continuous, unkinked stripes across an edge indicate G2 continuity, while a sharp bend at the edge reveals only G1 tangency.

Question 5

When inserting a Design Table (Excel-driven) into a SOLIDWORKS part, which cell address MUST contain a dimension or feature name for the table to be recognized correctly?

Accepted Answer

Cell A1 must contain the configuration name header and A2 onward lists config names; dimension names begin in B1

Answer

SOLIDWORKS Design Tables require cell A1 to contain the header 'Design Table for: <part name>' (auto-inserted), row names in column A starting at A3 for configurations, and parameter names in row 2 starting at B2.
