Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

33.5. -Once the end of the first animation step is defined, SOLIDWORKS needs

to calculate the motion of the components.

Click either in the "Calculate" or "Play" command; while the animation is

calculated for the first time, the playback may be slow, depending on the number

of moving components and/or visual effects being animated.

Once the animation is calculated we can press the "Play" command to see

the video at full speed, and since it's only playing the animation and not calculating

anything, it will be faster.

When the calculation is complete a yellow bar is added to the 'Worm Gear'

and the 'Offset Shaft Gear'. This bar is letting us know that these components are

being driven by another component, in our case, the 'Worm Gear Shaft'.

Press "Play" to run the animation to see the 'Worm Gear Shaft' turning from

the start to the final position, and the 'Offset Shaft' following because of the gear

mate.
