Rotating a Model Using Animation Wizard

You can create a rotation without additional preparation.
Exploding and Collapsing Using Animation Wizard
Importing Calculated Basic Motion or Motion Analysis Results

After calculating motion using either Basic Motion or Motion Analysis, you can import the calculated motion results into an animation. When you do, SolidWorks does not have to recalculate the motion each time you run the simulation.

Solar Access Studies

With SolidWorks Professional, you can apply sunlight to SolidWorks models. Using solar access studies, you can simulate the movement of the sun as it passes over models of buildings, solar panels, and outdoor equipment.
