CSWPA Advanced Exams
SOLIDWORKS Certification Programs
CSWPA-WD is one of the five SOLIDWORKS CSWPA advanced-topic exams. It is a roughly 2-hour, hands-on exam requiring a minimum score of 190, with a 14-day wait between retakes and SOLIDWORKS 2010 or later required to open the test files. It tests structural members, corner treatments, trim/extend, gussets, end caps, custom profiles, cut lists, weld beads, and weldment drawings.

1In SOLIDWORKS, which feature must be inserted to convert a sketch of connected lines into a weldment part containing structural members?
A.Structural Member
B.Extruded Boss/Base
C.Weld Bead
D.Boundary Boss
Explanation: The Structural Member feature sweeps a selected profile along sketch segments to create the frame's structural members. Inserting it automatically adds the Weldment feature to the top of the FeatureManager tree if one is not already present.
2When creating a Structural Member feature, segments that lie along the same straight line and use the same profile are organized into a single what?
A.Configuration
B.Group
C.Cut-list folder
D.Reference plane
Explanation: Within a Structural Member feature, collinear or related segments are added to a Group. Groups let you apply consistent corner treatments and settings to a set of related members and control how members in the same feature interact at their ends.
3A custom weldment profile must be saved as which SOLIDWORKS file type so it appears in the Structural Member profile selection lists?
A.Block (.sldblk)
B.Part (.sldprt)
C.Library Feature Part (.sldlfp)
D.Drawing (.slddrw)
Explanation: Weldment profiles are stored as Library Feature Parts with the .sldlfp extension. The closed profile sketch is selected and saved as a library feature part in the weldment profiles folder so it becomes available under Standard, Type, and Size in the Structural Member PropertyManager.
4To make a new custom profile selectable in the Structural Member feature, in which folder location must the .sldlfp file be stored?
A.Any folder, as SOLIDWORKS scans the whole drive
B.The default templates folder
C.The SOLIDWORKS installation Program Files root
D.The weldment profiles folder set under System Options, File Locations
Explanation: The Structural Member tool reads profiles from the Weldment Profiles file location defined in System Options > File Locations. The folder structure of Standard\Type\Size determines the dropdown choices, so the .sldlfp must be saved under that referenced path.
5Which corner-treatment option in the Structural Member PropertyManager trims the touching ends of two members so they meet on a single miter plane?
A.End Butt1
B.End Miter
C.End Butt2
D.Trim/Extend
Explanation: End Miter trims both adjoining members at a shared angled plane that bisects the corner, producing a mitered joint typical of picture-frame corners. It is one of the three corner-treatment buttons offered when two members in a group meet at a corner.
6When two structural members meet at a corner, the value entered in the 'Gap' field of the corner treatment controls what?
A.The cut-list quantity
B.The fillet weld leg size
C.The spacing left between the trimmed member ends
D.The bend radius of the member
Explanation: The corner-treatment Gap parameter sets the clearance distance left between the trimmed ends of the joining members, which is useful for modeling weld-prep gaps. Separate gap fields can control corner gaps and gaps along the connection between members.
7A weldment frame is built from a single closed-loop sketch on one plane. Which sketch type would be required instead to route members in three dimensions, such as a frame with members going up, across, and back?
A.Surface sketch
B.2D sketch on the Front plane only
C.Layout sketch block
D.3D Sketch
Explanation: A 3D Sketch lets you draw lines along the X, Y, and Z directions in a single sketch, which is necessary for spatial frames. Structural Member features can sweep profiles along the segments of a 3D sketch to form members oriented in multiple planes.
8In a 3D sketch, pressing the Tab key while sketching lines is used to do what?
A.Toggle the active sketch plane (XY, YZ, ZX)
B.Add a coincident relation
C.Mirror the line
D.Convert the line to construction geometry
Explanation: While sketching in 3D, the Tab key cycles the active sketching plane among XY, YZ, and ZX, shown by the space-handle origin. This lets you draw segments in the correct direction without exiting the 3D sketch, which is essential for routing weldment frames.
9Which weldment feature adds triangular reinforcing plates between two adjacent faces of structural members at a joint?
A.Weld Bead
B.End Cap
C.Gusset
D.Fillet Bead
Explanation: The Gusset feature creates a triangular or polygonal stiffening plate between two planar faces that meet at an angle, reinforcing the joint. You specify the gusset profile dimensions, thickness, thickness side, and locating position along the supporting faces.
10The Gusset PropertyManager offers two profile shapes for the plate. They are a polygonal profile and which other?
A.Elliptical profile
B.Circular profile
C.Spline profile
D.Triangular profile
Explanation: A gusset can be defined with either a triangular profile (two distance dimensions d1 and d2) or a polygonal profile (with profile distance, depth, and a chamfer/inner-edge dimension). The triangular profile is the simpler right-triangle stiffener used at right-angle joints.
