Thanks a lot. There are few problems in using Blender, the most important one would be using the motion study in SolidWorks or converting the Solidworks animation. PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

I believe Autodesk Inventor might export the motion to an fbx which you can later use in other 3D animation software. Thanks PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

True :) I was trying to use SolidWorks motion study, then use a 3D animation to add vfx. The problem I am having is I can't export the motion study. The only software other than Visualize that I found that could export motion studies was KeyShot. Thanks PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering...

Does anyone know how to create a realistic animations for educational-illustrations purposes like these I tried using SolidWorks but I could not export motion (animations) to other animation software like Cinema 4D to add particles, arrows and other visual effects (you may suggest other...

Thanks PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

Thanks, McMaster-Carr had components This depends on the taught course, if I am teaching: Thermo-fluid and wish to show my students a pump or a turbine ... etc. Machine/Mechanism design and wish to show them a gear-box, a cam-follower, ... ... PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering...

Sorry, I did not understand PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

True, that's why I'd like to communicate with them using CAD entertaining graphics PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

Yes my purpose is for education. I prefer to have relevant animations in my lectures. I use SolidWorks toolbox and wish it was a larger library. Again, you are totally right. I try my best to teach my students based on practical experience, and use available catalogues or tools. Generic models...

Just checked McMaster-Carr some components are available in 3D Solidworks, Thanks PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

Thanks everyone, I am very happy to read all your inputs and respond to each It is a great idea to actually use the manufacturer models. PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

Thanks I intend to use it for educational purposes and not looking for the industrial complexity PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

Thank you for your response. Most of online libraries contain parts/components, usually assemblies are of low quality or not working unless you pay a lot. I am looking for a pre-built library that is offline hopefully it comes with the software itself. PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering...

Is there a software that comes with a large library of pre-built 3D models of engineering components and assemblies? For example, in mechanical engineering; we frequently use: gearboxes (assembly), cam-follower assembly, turbines, pumps, heat-exchanger, conveyors belt, chain, equipments like...

That is true, that is why I am looking for this library PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer

Totally true, I'd like to add the engineering mind set also makes more difficult to take uncalculated risks If I can find a partner who can not do what I can yet can market it that would be the perfect match. A young engineer or even technician with connections... :) PhD Mechanical/Industrial...

Many moons ago I made marketing content like this using exported SolidWorks/ProE models but rendering them using Cinema4D. It had some amazing tools for animating flames, particle effects, etc. C4D isn't free like blender, but if tasked to make this content again I'd factor in the time saved to...

Thanks for bringing this up, I thought about it but I did not know that credentials are an advantage PhD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Licensed professional engineer
