CSWP Motion Studies 4

Question 1

Which SOLIDWORKS tool allows you to export a completed motion animation as an AVI or MP4 video file?

Accepted Answer

Save Animation button in the Motion Study toolbar

Answer

The Save Animation button renders the motion study timeline to a video file in a format and resolution you specify.

Question 2

In Motion Analysis, what is the role of 'material' properties (density) assigned to components?

Accepted Answer

They are used to calculate component mass, which affects inertia and dynamics

Answer

Mass (derived from density × volume) determines inertial resistance to acceleration, which is fundamental to accurate dynamic simulation.

Question 3

When you right-click a result plot in the Motion Analysis Results panel, which option lets you export the plotted data as a CSV file?

Accepted Answer

Export to Excel / Save Plot Data (varies by version)

Answer

Right-clicking a Motion Analysis result plot offers an option to export or save the tabular data (the exact label may vary by SOLIDWORKS version).

Question 4

What happens to mates that are 'Suppressed' during a Motion Analysis study?

Accepted Answer

They are ignored by the solver, removing those kinematic constraints

Answer

Suppressed mates are excluded from the solver's constraint set, effectively allowing those degrees of freedom to be free.

Question 5

In a Basic Motion study, which physical effect is approximated but NOT as rigorously as in Motion Analysis?

Accepted Answer

Contact and collision dynamics

Answer

Basic Motion includes simplified collision and spring behavior, but lacks the full rigid-body dynamics accuracy of Motion Analysis.
