Design a Model Rocket in SolidWorks

Go from a blank screen to a printable 3D rocket you could actually launch.

Use SolidWorks for Students to model every component of a model rocket—nose cone, body tube, fins, and motor mount—then assemble them into a complete vehicle and generate manufacturing drawings. No CAD experience required.

Thrust Vector Control Mount in SolidWorks

Design a gimbal that steers a rocket engine — then prove it will hold.

Design a two-axis gimbal-based thrust vector control (TVC) mount for a small liquid rocket engine in SolidWorks. You will perform parametric CAD, run FEA under maximum thrust and side-load cases, iterate on weak areas, and produce a complete design package including assembly drawings and a stress analysis report.

Generative Design Automation with SolidWorks API

Write a Python script that designs, evaluates, and selects structural brackets autonomously

Build a Python automation system that drives the SolidWorks API to programmatically generate structural bracket design variants, run FEA evaluations, extract performance metrics, and select the optimal design — compressing days of manual CAD work into an automated pipeline.

Optimise Wing Rib Spacing with FEA

Place ribs where the loads are—not where tradition says.

Use SolidWorks and ANSYS to investigate whether non-uniform rib spacing in a wing structure can reduce weight or stress compared to evenly spaced ribs. You will design a wing box, run static structural simulations under bending loads, and compare uniform versus load-adapted rib layouts to find a more efficient internal structure.
