Animation, Basic Motion and Motion analysis?

First Can someone direct me to a decent tutorial or video or something on approaches to setting up motion analysis. What I'm attempting to do. I have a Part on a table. That table is sitting on a pivot/Axis that tilts left and then right. I need to be able to control the angle of tilt and the time...oh and the motion is not linear it's a… (Show more)

Well, ok...it did not like the flexible sub assembly. I pulled the shaft out and the motion analysis worked.

force-displacement input

Hi, I would like to create a "custom" spring that will mimic the input of a solenoid which has a very non-linear response. Does anyone have a workaround for this type of input? It would be nice if you could do this with the force function, but it is only in terms of time. I don't see how to make it relative to dist.

Importing Data to Motion Study

I am on a FSAE team and we have sensors which allow us to measure the motion of the wheels. This directly relates to a specific distance between two points in our cad model. I can make a motion study of the vehicle and adjust the distance manually at each increment but I was wondering if it is possibe to take a list of data from a .csv or other… (Show more)

Motion studies fail to calculate after adding new component

I am working with Motion Analysis motion studies and I am generally able to build a study that works properly. I continue to add motors and tasks and it continues to be successful. Then I realize that I would like to add an additional feature like another actuator or another part that will help accomplish what I am after. Once I add the new… (Show more)

Hi Tommy I also recently came across this issue. Not sure if this will work, but it worked for me. you can try to force rebuild (ctrl+Q) if that does not work, try and copy the motion study to see if the additional components are added.even switching from motion analysis to animation might alos do the trick. I ecountered this only in SW…

How can a motor stop when the lever reaches a "no penetration" wall

Hello Community! I am trying to make a simulation of a robotic hand grasping a ball and after this, different objects. I would like to reduce the problem to just one finger. Let's suppose that the finger is fixed and can just rotate from the bottom axis. I place a motor at the bottom of the finger, and i would like that the finger stops when it… (Show more)

Hi David, There is a penetration parameter you can set under contacts. Best,

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.
