WHAT IS THE SOLIDWORKS MOTION CLASS?

This two-day training course will teach you the basic skills and background you need to get started running your own Motion Analysis studies. You’ll learn about the following key topics:

  • Getting started with the Animation/Motion Analysis interface
  • Assembling and mating for Motion
  • Contacts and collisions
  • Calculating motor forces for motor sizing
  • Calculating reaction forces for joint sizing

 

WHO IS THIS COURSE DESIGNED FOR?

Students who already have some basic SOLIDWORKS CAD experience who are interested in running Motion Analysis studies should enroll.

 

WHY SHOULD I TAKE THE SOLIDWORKS MOTION TRAINING COURSE FROM DASI SOLUTIONS?

You’ll be able to leverage years of experience and knowledge gathered from our certified SOLIDWORKS Simulation training team to get your Motion Analysis studies off on the right foot.

 

HOW MUCH DOES THIS COURSE COST?

Standard classroom training costs $1,495 per student.

 

*This course is part of the curriculum for the DASI Solutions Apprenticeship Program, certified by the U.S. Department of Labor.
