Supported Functions
SolidWorks Motion supports many functions and expression functions. You can enter these functions in the
Expression
boxes of the
Motor
or
Force
PropertyManagers. You can use these expression functions to define a wide variety of non-standard phenomena in your model in a Motion Analysis study.
