  1. Browse to drive letter:\Users\Public\Public Documents\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS version\samples\Simulation Examples\Dynamics\Basketball_rim.SLDPRT and open the file.
  2. Click the Frequency study tab.
  3. Right-click the Frequency study in the Simulation study tree, and select Copy Study.
  4. In the Copy Study PropertyManager:
    1. For Target Study, click Linear Dynamic, and select Modal Time History.
    2. For Study name, type Time History for the new study.
    3. Click OK.
    The Modal Time History study tab is created at the bottom of the graphics area. The Time History study is created in the Simulation study tree.
    When you copy a source frequency study to a target dynamic study, the material properties and restraints of the frequency study are copied to the new dynamic study. If results exist, they are also copied.
