What you'll learn
SOLIDWORKS Motion is an advanced mechanical simulation course designed to develop practical skills in mechanism design, kinematic analysis, motion simulation, force analysis, gear systems, cam mechanisms and mechanical system validation.
The course focuses on analyzing how mechanical assemblies move and interact under different conditions. Learners will work with motors, forces, torques, gravity, springs, dampers, contacts, gears, cams, linkages and other mechanical relationships to simulate real-world mechanisms.
The course also covers motion results such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, reaction forces and torque, helping learners understand and validate mechanical designs before physical manufacturing.
