The goal of this course is to teach you how to create animations using SOLIDWORKS assemblies. Animations are used to show how something works by adding motion and enhance the assembly appearance with visual effects. Note Download files for this course are quite large, so we are not able to provide every sample file. If you would like to see more of the demonstration files, you can download the complete set of files for the original book. Go to https://www.solidworks.com/support/training/training-files and search for ‘animations’.

Learn to use the most common features and tools of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Then, learn how the platform enhances product data and lifecycle management tasks for your SOLIDWORKS models.
Learn how to create simple parts, assemblies, and drawings along with how to save them to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Then, continue learning more about sketching, features, parts, assemblies, drawings, and other tools in the SOLIDWORKS software.
Learn the basics of SOLIDWORKS PDM (product data management). There are lessons for PDM Standard and PDM Professional as well as lessons for Users and Administrators.
Learn the basics of many of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools: SOLIDWORKS Simulation, Flow Simulation, Motion, Dynamics, and Nonlinear. We even have content to help you get started with the Structural Mechanics Engineer role from SIMULIA.
Prepare for many of the most popular SOLIDWORKS Certification exams. We have content on the Associate, Professional, and Expert level CAD exams to help you achieve industry-leading certifications.
Understand the difference between starting a sketch on a plane or planar face. Create the first 2D sketch profile on a reference plane. Create additional 2D sketch profiles on planar model faces of the part.

Use standard mates to constrain the degrees of freedom of components relative to other components or reference geometry such as planes or axes. Learn about standard mate types such as coincident, concentric, and more. Understand how selected entities such as faces, edges, vertices, planes, or axes determines the available mate types.
