Hello Students Community,
This MECH-A Sunday I want to show you ball design, motion animation and visualization on SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Visualize
This post also first design of 2024 Project Team. As 2024 Project Team, me and my teammates aim to create many different posts about SolidWorks, xApps, SolidWorks Visualize and etc. and in this process we wanted to share our experience how differences between SolidWorks and xDesign/ xShape and also wanted to show you several knowledges. I also wanted to thank our mentor @RP
This post will contain Ball Design / Motion Animation / Visualization / CAD File
Visualization on SolidWorks Visualize
Motion Animation of Ball

Motion Animation Preparing Process
Information about how to make this ball motion animation
- Gravity feature added in -y direction with 125 mm/s^2 accelarition
- Added linear motor feature that decreases from 150 mm/s to 50 mm/s on the x-axis.
- Added rotatory motor feature on the bal, decreasing from 100 RPM to 20 RPM.
Solid body contact feature added between ball and surface without friction, without material, with elastic properties: restitution coefficient = 0.8
