Anyone using FreeCad9 to do motion analysis?
software is at www.ar-cad.com
If so have you been able to import Solidwork assemblies?
The example models used to demo the software are
solidworks "asm" (not sldasm) files, but when I try creating my own "asm" file the software doesn't recognize...
In Autocad you could take a given PolyLine and divide it
into 100 equal segments by using the divide Polyline.
I can't find any comparable command for Solidworks that would allow me to divide a given Solidworks Spline.
Is there a way to do this??
just went to solidworks and watched the Online seminar.
Not very good.
The kind of thing I am trying to understand is how to create one of the cables shown in the video demo

If you look...
I’m sorry for not being clear. I'm using solidworks, routing/electrical.
If you look at the AutoDesk Demo video, you see a 3D model of an electrical enclosure with 7 connectors in it:
3 DR connectors
2 IDC connector
1 DB9 connector
1 Molex connector
At the beginning of the video...
I have solidworks 2007 and am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how the electrical routing works.
I want to be able to go between a 2D wiring schematic and a 3D layout, similiar what is being shown in the attached link.(Demo of AutoCad Inventor electrical Routing)
Please looks at...
I have not installed Solidworks 2006 yet and was wondering if Solidworks has changed the capabilities of the Freebee Cosmos Express from the way it was in 2005.
Any new features?
I have been using Algor for the past year struggling to do meshes and analysis of thin walled structures with it.
When you talk to Algor tech support they almost always end up recommending you build whatever model you want to analyze from scratch using their superdraw program, when all you want...
Solidworks 2005
want to place and cut text into surface but need text larger than 72 points.
Tried using tools/sketch tools/ scale , but the scale doesn't make the text get any bigger.
How can I make larger text?
Solidworks 2005
would like to create a label with company logo and put it into model.
Have tried bringing Jpeg of rectangular logo in as an applied texture but can't get it to size and center the way I want - (do not want tiling effect)
Any way to do this.
solidworks 2005
When turn on shaded w/ shadows shadow falls appears some arbritrary distance from the model.
Can this distance be controlled?
How is solidworks deciding how far away to put shadow?
Work place has not decided to make jump to 2006 yet so for now I'm stuck with 2005.
Is there any way with 2005 to at least vary the edge colors per part within an assembly. If I could make the edges on some parts not-black while leaving others black, that might be good enough for me.
Possible?
have an assembly displayed in Shaded with edges mode.
I'd like SOME parts to be shaded WITHOUT edges.
I seem to be able to do one or the other.
How do you do a combo of both display types in one assembly?
Nevermind.
After re-extracting the example animation file I found I was able to move the ants, so lock up must have been due to something I had done.
The trick to doing this type of animation it seems is to have an enormous amount of movement waypoints.
The ant animation works if you move the...

Mike Wilson web site has example animation of chain of ants moving over surface of a mobius strip.
Leader ant has 6 mates; Follower ants have 7 mates each.
The example animation ("animation none")shows 100+ movement waypoints in a 10...
The Mike Wilson site was my starting point for trying to figure out how to do this.
I have the same mate problems with the Mike Wilson race car track - the mates, car to car; car to track get lost when getting out of animation environment.
