CSWP Motion Studies 2

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Motion Analysis

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Velocity

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Interpenetration (one body passing through another)

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

The time at which that key occurs

Answer

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