During the motion study, a series of commands have been executed to study the motion. AutoCAD involves modeling and assembling on the same platform, whereas SOLIDWORKS generates two separate files for designing and assembly. Modeling has been done keeping the designing parameters the same on both the software. During the case study as a part of product development, two solid models of gears have been mated on both the software and a motion study is performed. This paper acquaints us with the multidisciplinary comparison of motion study performed on two mated gears of similar aspects on AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS designed as a part model. For the creation of motion of assembled entities, motion is fully incorporated and embedded in CAD software as an add-in module. Ready to learn more about SOLIDWORKS?

But what’s the same is that when you use a solid body contact there’s nothing more than just picking the components and letting SOLIDWORKS figure out the rest. The differences between the options for the two different study types are shown below.Īs you can see, the difference is nothing more than the extra complexities that can be accounted for when using motion analysis. These options include materials, friction and even elastic properties to really capture the complexities of the interactions between the components. When you are using motion analysis, you have even more options available to you to improve the accuracy of the study. Make sure you have the motion study set to either “Basic Motion” or “Motion Analysis.” A solid body contact is not available in a simple animation. SOLIDWORKS takes care of the rest by determining the interactions between the components. All you need to do is add the contact to the components and that’s it. It sounds complicated, but it’s super easy in SOLIDWORKS. Using solid body contacts is like flipping a switch to turn on real-world physics. But with SOLIDWORKS Motion you are capturing the real-world physics and interactions between components in your assemblies. As we’ve seen on YouTube and in Hollywood, you can fake or recreate just about anything with animations. With SOLIDWORKS Motion, you’re creating more than just an animation video.
