Who should attend: This course has been designed for new SOLIDWORKS Motion users who would like to learn to perform motion analysis on their designs. Knowledge of basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended. If you are not familiar with the basics of the MotionManager, the class manager will send you a self-paced lesson that should be completed before class begins. Prerequisites: Knowledge of SOLIDWORKS and the basics of the MotionManager is required. This 2 day course will teach you how to use the SOLIDWORKS Motion simulation package to study the kinematics and dynamic behavior of your SOLIDWORKS assembly models. To have access to Motion Analysis you need to activate the SOLIDWORKS Motion add-in from the Tools > Add-Ins menu.Designed for users who would like to become productive quickly in using SOLIDWORKS Motion. You can also use Motion Analysis to plot simulation results for further analysis. Motion Analysis uses computationally strong kinematic solvers, and accounts for material properties as well as mass and inertia in the computations. It can be used for accurately simulating and analyzing the effects of motion elements (including forces, springs, dampers, and friction) on an assembly. The add-in is available with SOLIDWORKS Premium, Simulation Standard, Simulation Professional or Simulation Premium. Motion Analysis is an advanced motion simulation. Just remember that in Basic Motion no forces are being calculated. Basic Motion computation is relatively fast, so you can use this for creating presentation-worthy approximate simulations of motion that account for mass, collisions, or gravity. Basic Motion takes mass into account in calculating motion. You can use Basic Motion to show basic contacts between models, approximating the effects of motors, springs and gravity on assemblies. Basic Motionīasic Motion is also part of every package of SOLIDWORKS.

Animation simulation is included in all the SOLIDWORKS Packages (Standard, Professional and Premium) and allows you to do quick animations for exploded views and rotating camera angles.
