Can Unigraphics record dynamic assembly motion? ie: without having to use "UG Motion", can I record the motion of parts in an assembly on the screen? How?

YES, it's amazing what you can animate just by controlling the expressions of one or more parts, by linking them to the system parameter FrameNumber.
You need to create the system expressions :
FrameNumber=0 (note the capital letters)
If you make some mating conditions creating expressions (or any other feature etc. creating expressions) you can use the FrameNumber expression.
e.g. change a distance mating condition from 100 to 200 during 20 frames:
distance = 100 + (200-100)*Framenumber/20
Now, in Animation options, tick the "update expressions" field, and create an animation after defining some frames (just add one with 20 frames).
