You can apply the following techniques to create animated motion studies:
- Create a basic animation by dragging the time bar and moving components.
-
Use the Animation Wizard to create animations or to add rotation, explodes, or collapses to existing motion studies (not available for a Motion Analysis study).
-
Create camera-based animations.
- Use motors or other simulation elements to drive the motion.
You can animate the following in a motion study:
- Component position.
-
Effects of a motor driving an assembly.
-
Effects of a Distance or Angle mate.
-
Effects of mates to single entity curves.
-
Component properties. You can hide and show components and specify the display mode (wireframe, shaded, etc.).
-
Viewpoint orientation and selection of camera views.
- Component color or texture.
Light and camera properties.
-
Position of sketch blocks.
You can create multiple animations, each with its own key frames that include key points, component positions, and view keys.
