    Solving 5 Unknowns with 6 Equations

    Probably a stupid question but I am doing a static force analysis using a Method of Joints. There are 3 joints of interest, so 6 equations but I only need to solve for 5 unknowns. The last unknown is in the last 2 equations so I solve one and then do a check with the final equation but it's...

    Design Table and Reference Dimension

    I'm trying to do some analysis/design work with the sketcher and I was hoping that I could speed up the process with a design table. I am trying to have Catia output a reference dimension as I vary the angle of a tensioner. For the initial configuration, Catia would output the value of both my...

    Make Design Table Output Other New Dimensions

    I'm trying to determine a change in belt length of a simple 2 pulley, tensioner/idler system as the tensioner travels through it's range of motion. The tensioner and idler are linked with a linkage. I am trying to use a design table to do this but it seems I can only get the table to output...

    Graph Sensor Value in Motion Study

    Hello all, I am monitoring a belt length with a sensor and I would like to see how it changes when I rotate idlers/tensioners through their range of motion. Ultimately, I'd hope that Solidworks could generate a graph of the belt length vs time (ideally vs idler angle) for me but I'm not sure...

    Meaning of this symbol

    The symbol is a material condition with a circle with a cap pointing to the right. I uploaded a picture of what I'm talking about. I'm just wondering if it has some other meaning than the particular material condition. Thanks.
