Designed to help you become productive quickly with SolidWorks Motion. This 1 day course will teach you how to use the SolidWorks Motion to study the kinematics and dynamic behavior of your SolidWorks assembly models. The course provides both essential and advanced sessions on the basics of building, simulating and refining a mechanical design system, from suspension steering system and drive shafts to backhoes, CAMS, Gears, and Actuators.
Course details and prerequisites:
Duration: 1 Day
Type: Instructor
Led
Level: Basic to Intermediate
Prerequisites:
- Attended the SolidWorks Essentials course
- Basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended
After the training you will be able to:
- Use SolidWorks Motion to perform motion analysis on your designs.
- Size motors/actuators, determine power
consumption, layout linkages, develop cams,
understand gear drives, size
springs/dampers, and determine how
contacting parts behave.
