Animating a part
Animating a part
(OP)
Hello all.
I was wondering if it were possible to create a bendable part in solidworks and show it's movement in an animation.
Specifically, I am trying to create a "ring" that will clamp around a bar and be tightened on the bottom by a fastener.
I want to show, in an animation, the clamp being bent outwards, so it fits around the bar and then show it bending back into a circular profile around the bar until it fits snuggly around the bar.
Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise, without a rebuild activity of some sort within the assembly, you cannot gain a part flex in SolidWorks--and I don't thin Animator will allow a rebuild during the animation. (If it could, that would open up all sorts of new possibilities--such as assembly-driven sketches and part updates.)
