To import motion studies into SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected, first you embed the motion study data in the SOLIDWORKS Connected part or assembly. Then when you import the part or assembly into SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected, the motion studies are included.
You can import multiple SOLIDWORKS motion studies for SOLIDWORKS parts and
assemblies. This is helpful because you:
- Do not have to reanimate the part or assembly in SOLIDWORKS
Visualize.
- Can use tools such as Mate
Controller and flexible subassemblies.
Before you begin:
- In the SOLIDWORKS Connected part or assembly, for the motion
studies you want to import into Visualize Connected, select Access Motion Study
(MotionManager toolbar).Access Motion Study
marks the selected motion studies to be saved when you save the part or
assembly.
Saving motion studies increases the file
size and results in a longer save time.
- Save the part or assembly.
The part or
assembly, including the marked motion studies, is saved.
To import the part or assembly and its marked
motion studies into a Visualize Connected project:
- In Visualize Connected, do one of the following:
- To import into a new project, click .
- To import into an existing project, open the project and click .
- Browse to the part or assembly and click Open.
- In the Import Settings dialog box, select Animations.
- Specify other import options if required.
- Click OK.
The part or assembly, including its marked motion studies, is added to the project.
