Which one should you pick?
- You have never used SOLIDWORKS. Start with Part Design using SolidWorks (2 weeks, 2 projects, ₹40,000). Before paying, try the free SolidWorks tutorials further down this page.
- You can model and want to analyse. Pick the add-on that matches the job: FEA using SOLIDWORKS (4 weeks) for stress, Flow Simulation using SolidWorks (4 weeks) for CFD, or Multibody Dynamics using SolidWorks (5 weeks) for mechanisms. CAE Simulation using SolidWorks and CFD Simulation using SolidWorks list the same lessons as the FEA and Flow Simulation courses, so ask the counsellor how they differ before choosing one.
- You want to design plastic parts or molds. Mold Design using SOLIDWORKS (12 weeks) goes from moulding basics to full mold tutorials with sliders, ejectors, gates and runners.
- You want SOLIDWORKS design and analysis in one go. The Post Graduate Program in Solidworks Design and Analysis (24 weeks, 8 projects) bundles surface modelling, FEA, Flow Simulation and Motion. The Mechanical Engineering Essentials Program (32 weeks) pairs the three analysis courses with MATLAB and Python.
- You are aiming for an automotive design job. Automotive design teams mostly work in CATIA V5 or NX, not SOLIDWORKS. Look at the PG Program in CAD (48 weeks, 32 projects), the PG Program in Manufacturing Design or the BIW Fixture and Plastic Design program, which teach SOLIDWORKS alongside CATIA and NX, or the CATIA courses.
What is SOLIDWORKS?
SOLIDWORKS is Dassault Systèmes' 3D CAD software for designing parts, assemblies and the 2D drawings a workshop builds from. It is parametric and feature-based: you sketch a profile, extrude it, add holes and fillets, and every feature remembers its dimensions. Change one number and the whole model, the assembly and the drawing update.
Think of it as a recipe rather than a sculpture. The feature tree on the left is the list of steps, and editing any step re-cooks the part. That is what makes it quick for machine parts, fixtures, sheet-metal enclosures and weldments.
SOLIDWORKS also has built-in analysis add-ons: SOLIDWORKS Simulation for stress and vibration (FEA), Flow Simulation for fluid flow and heat (CFD), Motion for mechanisms, and mold tools for plastic parts. Skill-Lync's courses follow those four directions, plus part design for beginners.
What a SOLIDWORKS course covers
- Sketching and part design. Constrained sketches and solid features, then assembly and photo-realistic rendering; the 2-week Part Design using SolidWorks ends with an American chopper and a yacht model.
- Surface modelling. Curves, surfaces from curves and sketches, and turning them into solids, applied to an Aston Martin body in the PG Program in Solidworks Design and Analysis.
- FEA in SOLIDWORKS Simulation. 1D, 2D and 3D elements, a parametric design study, buckling, fatigue, a drop test and frequency analysis; the project is a buckling study.
- Flow Simulation (CFD). Steady pipe flow, transient flow over a cylinder, an airfoil, an IC engine valve on a flow bench and a centrifugal pump.
- Multibody dynamics (Motion). Design and motion simulation of a Geneva mechanism, a machine vice, a planetary gear train, an engine piston and a valve train, plus a shaper machine and a pumpjack.
- Mold design. Injection moulding basics, DFM and defects, parting surfaces, sliders and ejectors, gates and runners, with a table-fan casing and a fan bezel mold as projects.
- Industry CAD on top. The CAD and manufacturing design PG programs add CATIA V5, Siemens NX and (in the PG Program in CAD) Autodesk Alias to SOLIDWORKS.

Jobs after a SOLIDWORKS course

SOLIDWORKS jobs cluster in machine builders, tooling shops, consumer-product makers and design service firms.
From Skill-Lync's own placement records (as of 15 Nov 2026, n = 1,463 placements in the design domain, which includes CATIA, NX and SOLIDWORKS learners): median starting salary 3.5 LPA, middle half between 3.0 and 4.4 LPA. For the job title Design Engineer (n = 1,053) the median is 3.4 LPA. See design engineer salaries.
Companies that hired the most Skill-Lync design learners in those records: Cyient (212), Tata Technologies (98), Hyundai Motor (48), Expleo Engineering (44), Tata Elxsi (38), Segula Technologies (37), Tech Mahindra (33) and Hinduja Tech (33). See more on recent placements.
These are self-reported starting offers from learners who told us they were placed, mostly in 2022-2023, and they are not split by CAD tool, so treat them as a starting point and not as the whole market.

Before you pay
SOLIDWORKS is not free. Dassault Systèmes lists SOLIDWORKS for Students at US$60 for a one-year licence (US price on solidworks.com, checked 16 Nov 2026; local price and taxes vary). The desktop software runs on Windows only. Your college lab or student design team may already have licences, so ask before you buy.
Know which industry uses it. SOLIDWORKS is strong in machine design, tooling and product companies. Car and aircraft makers and their design partners mostly hire for CATIA V5 or NX. If an automotive OEM job is the goal, see the CATIA courses.
A course certificate is not CSWA. Dassault's own CSWA and CSWP exams are separate from any training certificate. Some machine-design employers ask for them, so check job posts in your city.
Basic SOLIDWORKS is cheaper elsewhere. CAD training centres sell SOLIDWORKS basics for a few thousand rupees. What the Skill-Lync fee pays for is the analysis and mold projects with reviews, doubt-clearing support and, on the programs, placement support. Compare syllabus and projects, not only price.
SOLIDWORKS course FAQs
What is the fee for a SolidWorks course at Skill-Lync?
As of 16 Nov 2026: SOLIDWORKS short courses are ₹40,000 each. The programs that include SOLIDWORKS (the PG programs, the Mechanical Engineering Essentials Program and the MATLAB, Python and CFD bundle) are ₹2,75,000, with EMI from ₹14,375 a month. Fees are inclusive of all charges.
How long does it take to learn SolidWorks?
Part modelling and assembly basics fit in 2 weeks in Part Design using SolidWorks. Each analysis add-on (FEA, Flow Simulation, Motion) is another 4 to 5 weeks, and mold design is 12 weeks. The PG Program in Solidworks Design and Analysis covers all of it in 24 weeks.
Is SolidWorks free for students?
No. As of 16 Nov 2026 Dassault Systèmes lists SOLIDWORKS for Students at US$60 for one year on solidworks.com, and the desktop version runs on Windows only. Colleges and student competition teams often have licences, so ask yours before buying.
SolidWorks or CATIA: which should I learn?
Both are Dassault Systèmes products. SOLIDWORKS is quicker to learn and common in machine design, tooling and consumer products. CATIA V5 is the standard in automotive and aerospace, especially for surfaces and car-body work. Pick by the industry you want; Skill-Lync's PG Program in CAD teaches both, plus NX.
Can I do FEA and CFD in SolidWorks?
Yes. SOLIDWORKS Simulation does static, buckling, fatigue, drop-test and frequency FEA, and Flow Simulation does internal and external CFD with heat transfer. They suit design checks well; dedicated CAE teams usually use ANSYS, Abaqus or HyperMesh solvers for detailed analysis.
Who can join a SolidWorks course?
Mechanical, production, automobile and mechatronics students and graduates, diploma holders and working draftsmen. You do not need prior CAD experience for Part Design using SolidWorks; engineering drawing basics help.
