Motion · Complete SOLIDWORKS learning path
Animate your assemblies, then calculate the forces, torques and power of your mechanisms.
Free video training · Simulation
Three lessons, from MotionManager animations to motion analysis with SOLIDWORKS Motion. You learn to animate an assembly, size a motor, add contacts and springs, then drive a mechanism with events.

What you will be able to do
✓Create an assembly animation with the Animation Wizard and the MotionManager
✓Animate geometry that changes over time: spring, cable winding off a reel
✓Calculate the required torque and power with SOLIDWORKS Motion
✓Generate a cam profile and simulate a sensor-driven mechanism
Where to start
You want to show a product in motion: lesson 1 is enough. You need to size a motor or a spring: continue with lesson 2, then lesson 3 for more complex mechanisms.
The program
01Animate an assemblyAnimation Wizard, MotionManager, linear motor, in-context spring and cable winding driven by equations.▶ 3 videosBeginner▶Introduction to Animations▶Animating a Spring▶Winding a Cable Off a Reel→02Analyze a mechanism with SOLIDWORKS MotionMotion Analysis, torque and power, contact between bodies, springs, dampers and friction.▶ 2 videosIntermediate▶Introduction to SOLIDWORKS Motion▶Creating Contacts, Springs and Dampers→03Cams and event-based motionGenerate a cam profile from data points, servo motors, proximity sensors and event-based study.▶ 2 videosAdvanced▶Cam Synthesis▶Event Based Motion Study→To go further, Dassault Systèmes also offers the learning paths SOLIDWORKS Motion and Animations (on MySolidWorks).
