I am designing a camera to be mounted on a structure to monitor the position of personnel and the cutting action of the tool.
Is it possible to set up a camera in Solidworks, (with the required focal length and aperture) and see what the camera would see?
Also, would it be possible to set up lighting and adjust that to give the required effect?
Thanks in anticipation.
Derek.
Yes it is, with the proviso that a virtual camera is not a real camera so has no constraints relating to aperture. It sees everything and the view is never obscured by cutting oil splashing on the lens or by the operator's elbow.
Multiple lights are fully adjustable.
