Motion Study Motor Randomly Stops during Calculations

Motion Study Motor Randomly Stops during Calculations

Motion Study Motor Randomly Stops during Calculations

(OP)
In my never-ending quest to run into Solidworks Issues, I have completed everything in my project (that you guys helped me get to), and now I am trying to render the animation.  My last piece is applying an oscillating motor.

Issue: when I apply the motor and click "Calculate" it will begin drawing the yellow lines indicating a moving part, but then it will randomly start and stop at different points along the timeline.  Every time I delete and re-apply a new motor, or suppress and re-do the calculations, the breaks are at different spots.

It is not the model being fixed or defined a certain way (I have already triple checked that).  It is also not the computer.  It is literally brand new computer my job got me specifically to use for solidworks.

What do you guys think?

RE: Motion Study Motor Randomly Stops during Calculations

Just because it's a brand new computer doesn't mean that it's not the computer. Software conflicts, driver conflicts, incorrect drivers...all these can contribute to problems.
That's not to say SolidWorks doesn't have its issues. I've been fighting with Simulation for a day and half now...

Regardless if it's the computer or not, any solution to the problem?
