Read the first 7 Motion Studies flashcards as text

  1. In a SOLIDWORKS Motion Study, what is the purpose of the 'Interpolation Mode' setting on a key point?

    Answer: Defines how motion transitions between key points (e.g., linear vs. ease-in/ease-out)

    Interpolation Mode defines the mathematical curve used to transition component positions or values between key points.

  2. Which Motion Study type allows you to define a motor with a specific torque value and compute the resulting motion?

    Answer: Motion Analysis

    Motion Analysis (requiring the SOLIDWORKS Motion add-in) supports torque-driven motors and accurate physics-based simulation.

  3. When adding a 'Rotary Motor' in a Motion Analysis study, which parameter controls how fast the motor spins?

    Answer: Velocity

    A Rotary Motor's speed is specified as an angular velocity (e.g., RPM or deg/s) under the Velocity parameter.

  4. What does the 'Contact' feature in Motion Analysis prevent between two solid bodies?

    Answer: Interpenetration (one body passing through another)

    Contact in Motion Analysis enforces collision detection so bodies cannot occupy the same space.

  5. In the Motion Study timeline, dragging a key point horizontally changes which property?

    Answer: The time at which that key occurs

    Dragging a key point left or right along the timeline shifts when that recorded state occurs in the simulation.

  6. What is a 'spring' element used for in a SOLIDWORKS Motion Analysis study?

    Answer: To apply a variable force based on displacement between two points

    A spring element applies a force proportional to its extension or compression (F = k·x) between two attachment points.

  7. After running a Motion Analysis, where can you view a plot of joint reaction forces over time?

    Answer: In the Results and Plots PropertyManager within the Motion Study

    The Results and Plots tool in Motion Analysis lets you graph forces, displacements, velocities, and accelerations at any joint or body.
