When you create a rendered animation, the SOLIDWORKS software reviews
the model to check for in-context relationships or assembly features. In an
animation motion study, in-context references and assembly features might cause
parts to change shape.
For example, an assembly feature cut that references a moving
component might cause parts to change shape as the cut moves. In-context references
might cause parts to change shape as the components to which they are referenced
move in the motion study.
You cannot create a video with part shape changes when:
- Processing with accelerated rendered animation.
If the motion study has part shape changes, the parts maintain their
original shapes. If part shape changes are an essential part of the animation, this
may be undesirable.
If in-context features or assembly features are in an assembly, the
system asks if you want to use accelerated rendered animation processing to process
the rendered animation.
Do one of the following:
- Click Yes if the motion
study does not have part shape changes.
- Click No if the motion
study has part shape changes.
You can save any animation created in the MotionManager as a:
- Microsoft .avi file.
- MP4 video .mp4 file.
- Flash video .flv file.
- Matroska video .mkv
file.
- Series of .jpg files for
still images.
- Series of .bmp files for
still images.
- Series of .tga files for
still images.
- Series of .png files for
still images.
- Series of .tiff files for
still images.
This may result in slow rendering times.
