I am trying to run a plastics simulation of an assembly file in Solidworks but am having trouble. All of the plastics options in the toolbar are greyed out. However, when I open up a part file the button become active. How do I run a plastics simulation of an assembly file?
I'm surprised that no one already answered you guys.
The answer is really simple - SW Plastics does not support assembly files...
Instead, you will have to build a Multibody part and work that way.

thanks Radek,
that is what I found also, just never got around to posting after I found out.
We went thru the official training with our VAR a couple weeks ago & had a lot of questions answered there.

Thank you all. The easiest way I found out how to do this is to create an assembly then SAVE AS a .sldprt (part file). Then you can run an analysis on that assembly part file.
Evan,
I am working thru the same thing, scheduled for training next month, so I am just trying to work thru some things on my own.
have not gotten assembly to work yet.
