Animation with Flexible Components in SOLIDWORKS

Animating flexible components like springs is now easier than ever. In this video you’ll learn how to model the spring to be movable and we’ll test this flexibility using Instant 3D. Next, we’ll add the spring into our assembly and connect it so that it moves with the other components using an in-context relationship. You’ll learn how to add additional instances and reconnect their references using the make flexible feature. Finally, we’ll setup an animation of our valve training complete with the stretchable/compressible springs. 0:00​ Introduction 0:25 Modeling the spring 1:20​ Adding the spring to the assembly 2:07 Placing additional instances 2:45 Setting up the animation 3:10​ Wrap-up & conclusion For more information on SOLIDWORKS: https://hawkridgesys.com/solidworks Technical Support Knowledgebase: https://support.hawkridgesys.com/
