Change left to right position of assembly in frame of animation

Hi, I am trying to export an animation video of an assembly that I created. The issue is that when I export the video the assembly shows up on the far right side of the frame instead of right in the middle of the video frame. Is there a way to change this without having to recreate the entire animation?

Position the model view at required place, right click on the key in the animation and select replace key.

Motion Studies the bodies are not touching even with bodies defined

Hi All I am Trying to to a study between a sphere hitting a glass pane. It works well on the basic motion, however when I set the motion analysis, the sphere just goes through the glass without causing any effect I have tried all possible scenarios on the contacts and also on the assemblies Below link to the assembly folder Microsoft… (Show more)

J. Mather Much appreciated, yes changing the precission solves the study maybe you can help on this one too, a the moment the software assues the glass is on the floor (this is when the ball hits there is no deflection fro the glass), however on this scenario the glass is supported on the 4 edges (this is a rooflight glass) Is any way…

Motion of a Point in an Assembly not available in 2019 SP3 ???

Hi, I am using SW 2019 Premium SP3. According to the documentation (2019 SOLIDWORKS Help - Tracing the Motion of a Point in an Assembly ), it should be possible to draw the trajectory of a point during a motion study. I cannot find the "Results and Plots" button anywhere. Has the feature been removed? Do I Does SP4 solve this? Do I need… (Show more)

Thank you so much ! SD is a wonderful tool but things are often hidden. I wonder why MotionAnalysis is an optional module. Maybe to save resources?

Having issue fading parts and assemblies in Solidworks 2019 motion studies

I'm working on a bunch of animations at the moment and noticed that I can no longer get parts or assemblies to fade in or out gradually in a motion study. I've done this a thousand times in the past, but it just doesn't work anymore. For example, if a part is suppose to fade out gradually over 2 seconds, it will instead be a solid color and then… (Show more)

Contacted my VAR and got a reply that it's a known issue: "SPR 1063303 - 'Fade in transitions between display modes (hide /show) do not work for assembly parts in Animation." No workarounds at the moment.

Inverse movement of a part stablished in exploded view, in motion study

In an assembly, with many other assembly parts in it, I made an exploded view of a particular assembly and a part that is exploded vertically, when displayed in the motion study, moves horizontally, the movement is inversed but this problem only happens with this assembly, the rest of them move according to what is displayed in the exploded view.… (Show more)

Can you save a copy of the assembly and delete all extraneous components or create dummy assembly that illustrates the desired behavior?

Adding materials under contacts (motion analysis)

I've been doing a motion analysis of a vehicle with tyres of Polyurethane on a sandy/rocky terrain. By default the materials available under the contact properties are aluminium, rubber, nylon, acrylic and steel. When I set a contact between the tyres and the ground, I have to set the properties of contact by myself which doesn't turn out to be… (Show more)

Number of Elements Problem Motion Analysis

Hi everybody, i am working with motion and try to get our model into a motion analysis. I do get the following message quite a lot: " Number of new element states 2 doesn't match number of old ones, 3. Those numbers are different every time. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? What causes this message to appear. I can not find a … (Show more)

Can you program a Universal Robot with SolidWorks Motion?

We have a new Universal Robot system and will be introducing more into our assembly environment. Can I do motion studies in SolidWorks and save out the robot path info in a format that can be imported into the Universal robot control software? Maybe we need a bridge software that can take the SolidWorks output and package it up for use with… (Show more)

Anna, We have not found a way. We build our robot models so they are posable using the Mate Controller, so we can drag them around, or send them to specific poses. What this does not help with, however, is simulating the precise path that the robot will take from pose A to pose B. Therefore you don't know whether there are any singularities on…

How can I get the Edrawing to follow the interpolation I set for animation

I am exporting an animation to edrawing in Solidworks and we want the views to snap. I used the interpolation mode and it works in the solidworks program but still pans between views in when viewed in the edrawing. How can I get the edrawing to follow the interpolation I set for animation - and yes I recalculated the animation before exporting.… (Show more)
