Motion Simulation at Specific Intervals – SolidWorks 2017

By |2017-06-12T21:43:13-04:00June 12th, 2017|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, CQTV, SolidWorks 2MT|0 Comments

The Mate Controller tool allows you to show and save the positions of assembly components at various mate values and degrees of freedom without using configurations for each position. You can quickly create an animation of an assembly in specific positions in space, and produce an .avi, without the having to manually create each and every configuration per position.
