This course has been designed for new SolidWorks Motion users who would like to learn to perform motion analysis on their designs. The course provides an in-depth session on the basics of building, simulating and refining a mechanical design system.
Classroom: 1 sessions, 7 hours each
Virtual Classroom: 2 sessions 3-1/2 hours each
Prereqs:
Attendees must have experience modeling with SolidWorks.
Topics Covered
Basics
• Introduction to user interface
• Constraint mapping concepts
• Action only forces and moments
• Action/Reaction forces and moments
• Motion drivers
• Building models for kinematic analysis
• Create displacement, velocity, acceleration and force graphics
• Translatory and torsional springs
• Translatory and torsional dampers
• 3D Contact to simulate realistic interaction between parts
• Impact forces
• Using Function builder and Expressions to build complex motions and forces
• Flexible connectors - Bushings
Advanced
• Kinematic and Dynamic analysis
• Redundancies - Importance and how to avoid/solve them
