I took CAD at hvcc and used solidworks quite a bit. They tought it fairly well. I also used it for 2 years designing safety systems for c-130s and ch47 chinooks, for the main purpose of stress analysis. I’d love to sit down and design parts and whatnot but i just dont have the time or access to the program anymore.
