2. Clear the Animate during simulation check box.
This increases the speed of the solver (and in turn the speed of Dynamic
Simulation) since SolidWorks software is not attempting to show the
motion of the assembly while performing calculations. Animation is not
necessary because it can be played after the study has been calculated.
3. Set Frames per second to 8000.
This should match the smallest update rate of the Kinetix 6000 drive
(0.125 ms).
4. Click SolidWorks Integration (
Figure 175 ) to open the SolidWorks Load
Definition dialog box.
The Dynamic Simulation launches the SolidWorks Load Definition
dialog box and displays the model that is open in SolidWorks software:
• The SolidWorks assembly must be open in SolidWorks software
before the SolidWorks Load Definition dialog box will open.
• The SolidWorks file must be an assembly and not simply a part.
• Only one instance of SolidWorks software may be running in order for
integration to work.
