The 3D data will be transferred from SOLIDWORKS to KeyShot.Ĭlick the Update KeyShot button to import/update to an open KeyShot Scene.

Once installed, a KeyShot menu will appear on top of the SOLIDWORKS CommandManager when a part or assembly is opened. (If the KeyShot toolbar does not appear, right-click in the toolbar area and select KeyShot 9 or go to Tools, Customize…, Toolbars and check KeyShot 9.)Ĭlick the Send to KeyShot button to launch KeyShot.

After downloading, double-click the installer (.exe) file.

Plugins for previous versions of KeyShot are available here. For questions about other versions, please contact KeyShot SOLIDWORKS add-in requirements are as follows: You can also use Motion Analysis to plot simulation results for further analysis.These installation notes are specific to the latest version of the KeyShot SOLIDWORKS add-in unless otherwise mentioned. Motion Analysis uses computationally strong kinematic solvers, and accounts for material properties as well as mass and inertia in the computations. You can use Motion Analysis for accurately simulating and analyzing the effects of motion elements (including forces, springs, dampers, and friction ) on an assembly. Motion Analysis (available with the SOLIDWORKS Motion™ add-in to SOLIDWORKS Premium) Basic Motion computation is relatively fast, so you can use this for creating presentation-worthy animations using physics-based simulations. Basic Motion takes mass into account in calculating motion.

You can use Basic Motion for approximating the effects of motors, springs, contact, and gravity on assemblies. Animation uses interpolation to define the motion of assembly components between key points.īasic Motion (available in core SOLIDWORKS) Prescribe the positions of assembly components at various times using set key points.Add motors to drive the motion of one or more parts of an assembly.You can use Animation to animate the motion of assemblies.

From a motion study, you can use MotionManager, a timeline-based interface that includes the following motion study tools:
