SOLIDWORKS How to Model a Flex Cable in an Assembly

Hi, I loved the the video. Just had a little question
Can we make it an automated motion? Meaning making a video out of this demonstrating the motion shown above. or maybe having it automatically rebuild without me telling it?

Thanks again.

Thanks so much. Well explained and you didn't wiz by the commands. It was easy and clear for a very useful tool.

No, this is not the way, constraints are wrong.

Nice, but does this work in 3D, e.g., with a round cable that flexes in more than 1 direction like the FLAT Flex cable you show?

Guys at work have been using the sheet metal feature for flex cables 😂. One advantage though is that you can have an installed and a flat configuration for 2d drawings.

will it update automatically if it was not fixed?

Could you do a motion analysis for this? and see if the belt is actually moving.

how would you do the same for a cable that runs around a pulley?

Thanks, so helpfull. Need to desing and model hyd.hoses for telescopic chute with multiple cylidenders. This makes it straightforward.

Muy buen explicado! Gracias.- Can you do a belt conveyor with motion study?

good stuff..

Nice

Thanks

This, by far, is the best lesson in the history of humanity.
