free dumping of material
(OP)
Hello,
I was wondering if we can emulate dumping sand or rocks in a hopper using SolidWorks.
Is that possible ?
Regards

3D STUDIO MAX
Solidworks is animating mechanisms hardly, i think no body tries to do a particle animation.
RE: free dumping of material
What interests me more is to find the volume by dumping 200 m^3 of rocks for example in a hopper, and find if this dimensions i have for the hopper will be enough or i may need bigger or smaller hopper, more than the animated part.

I agree to use 3D Studio Max, it is what I would use. It imports SW models also.

I will try 3D max later but i dont have it on my machine, so that will take sometime.
Thanks for your help.
