Why does the ball move at a constant rate? I do have one question though with this specific representation. The next thing I need to do it try to duplicate what you have created here with the mates & the physical simulation. There are a series of model files under COSMOS Motion folders that show slider, cam, and other mechanical conditions.Īlso, if you are new to finite element analysis (FEA) there is a nice series of exercises for simple stress at Marie You will need to turn on COSMOSMotion in Tools, AddIns. Also, I suggest the tutorial, “Assembly Motion” that shows how to apply a motor to a 4 bar linkage.įor more mechanical system simulation you will need “COSMOSMotion”. Physical Simulation is included in all versions of SolidWorks. The arrow must point downward (the ball must fall). Then when you select the Gravity from the Motion Manager tab, select the temporary axis which looks like a vertical line. How the mates behave will transfer over to the physical simulation.Īlso, if you create the profile of the bowl in the XY plane, you will have to turn on the temporary axis. You must think about the mates - this is where you start. So I made the bowl and ball for you and created the assembly files for simulation: I love talking about Physics and SolidWorks can simulate physics.
