Solidworks Crafts

With little to do during this coronavirus break from school I have been messing around a little in Solidworks. It is still not full optomized and does not run close to good but I was however able to power through that in order to just mess around with the program a bit. I started of by trying to make a sphere which turns out is harder than you would think it would be. Once I stumbled my way to a sphere I cut a hole in it making almost a tire tread shape. With this I decided to add bike spiokes that ended up popping out the sides a bit which was not intended but a result with this I say the object as a wheel for like a

vechle that is meant for water because it kinda ended up looking like a paddle wheel.

Corona-virus Changes

Due to the events of Corona-Virus school has been cancelled and that means that our projects in this engineering class have also been consequentially canceled. As we are most likely not returning to physical school this year we have begun online classes. For engineering we have been given the choice of programs to work on including Fusion 360 and Solid-works which I have downloaded both. The issue is that neither of the programs run particularly well on my computer I have attempted to do some of the lessons for Fusion 360 but it is just very laggy and the controls feel clunky without a mouse. Regardless of these issues I will have to work to find away to fix them and I will most likely work on mastering Solid-works not Fusion 360. This is because I feel it would be harder to try to learn a new program completely online without the help of someone and I would also like to get a higher level Solid-works certification.
