SOLIDWORKS Motion Tutorial Series #1 | Understanding the Timeline
SOLIDWORKS Motion Studies use a timeline interface to control animations, motion, and simulation behavior within assemblies. Understanding how the timeline works is the first step in creating accurate and effective motion studies. This tutorial explains how keyframes and changebars represent time-based changes and feature states, forming the foundation for all SOLIDWORKS motion workflows. SOLIDWORKS includes three integrated motion solvers for creating animations and simulations. Animation and Basic Motion are included with every SOLIDWORKS license, while Motion Analysis is available with SOLIDWORKS Premium or Simulation licenses. This tutorial series is designed to help you build the skills needed to create motion studies, even if you are new to animation in SOLIDWORKS. In this video, you will learn: • How the SOLIDWORKS Motion timeline works • What keyframes and changebars represent • How time-based changes control motion behavior • How to begin building motion studies in assemblies Learn more about SOLIDWORKS training courses: https://www.mlc-cad.com/solidworks-tr...
