Chapter 23Animating with the MotionManager

The MotionManager is an interface that enables you to create animations showing the motion of parts and assemblies based on a timeline. These animations can range from a simple rotating part to complex moving machinery, involving motion constrained by assembly mates or motion driven by motors, springs, gravity, and contact. You can render the animations using PhotoView 360 or show them in a SolidWorks display mode, including RealView.

Collectively, the results of any of the motion capabilities in SolidWorks are called motion studies. Some of the capabilities are more focused on analysis (also called simulation), while others involve simple animation, but all can create movie output.
