SolidWorks Motion
Instructor Led Analysis Training Course
Designed to help you become productive quickly with SolidWorks Motion. This course will teach you how to use the SolidWorks Motion to study the kinematics and dynamic behavior of your SolidWorks assembly models. The course provides both essential and advanced sessions on the basics of building, simulating and refining a mechanical design system, from suspension steering system and drive shafts to backhoes, CAMS, Gears, and Actuators.
Who should attend: This course has been designed for new SolidWorks Motion users who would like to learn to perform motion analysis on their designs. The course provides an in-depth session on the basics of building, simulating and refining a mechanical design system.
Course details and prerequisites:
