CSWP Assembly Motion and Detection 5

Question 1

In SolidWorks Motion Analysis, what is the effect of applying a 'Contact' element between two components?

Accepted Answer

It prevents the components from penetrating each other and can simulate friction during impact

Answer

A Contact element in Motion Analysis enforces non-penetration between two selected bodies and can optionally model friction and restitution during collision.

Question 2

Which property must be assigned to components in Motion Analysis for gravity and inertia to be calculated correctly?

Accepted Answer

Material (mass properties)

Answer

Accurate mass properties derived from assigned materials are required for Motion Analysis to correctly calculate gravitational forces and inertial effects.

Question 3

What is the function of the 'Explode Line Sketch' in a SolidWorks assembly exploded view?

Accepted Answer

It adds cosmetic lines showing the path components travel during explosion

Answer

An Explode Line Sketch adds route lines in the exploded view that visually indicate how each component moves from its assembled to its exploded position.

Question 4

When using 'Move Component' with Collision Detection enabled, which components are checked for interference by default?

Accepted Answer

All components in the assembly against the dragged component

Answer

By default, SolidWorks checks the dragged component against all other components in the assembly for collision during Move Component.

Question 5

A Linear/Linear Coupler mate in SolidWorks is used to do which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Link the linear translation of one component to the linear translation of another component at a defined ratio

Answer

A Linear/Linear Coupler mate links the translational motion of two components so that movement in one drives proportional movement in the other.
