SOLIDWORKS: Animations – download video learning by Lynda

By bringing your designs to life with animation, you can communicate precisely how your product should move—and show off how your product works in general. SOLIDWORKS offers tools and functions that can help engineering, design, and product teams generate animations of existing designs. In this course, learn what you need to know to create animations with this powerful 3D CAD software. Instructor Justin Flett steps through how to generate simple animations with the Animation Wizard, as well as how to create more complex animations using manual techniques and motion drivers. Plus, learn about basic physics-based motion and walkthrough animations.

Topics include:
Working with MotionManager
Reviewing common animation terminology
Using the Animation Wizard to generate animations
Making complex animations with the click and drag method
Editing the timeline and views
Changing display and appearances
Using scenes and lighting in animations
Controlling animation with mates
