So I got this from ChatGPT but I don't see where this is at all. Is it a hallucination? Or is it a new feature or from a specific add-in I don't have? I have Premium and Simulation.
2. Using a Variable Coefficient via a Motion Function
If you want full control over friction vs. velocity (e.g., μ = 0.3 + 0.1 · exp(–v²)), you can:
- Define Contact between bodies.
- In the PropertyManager for the Contact, instead of entering a constant for μ, click the fx button to enter an Expression.
In the expression, you can use variables like velocity (usually relative velocity between surfaces).
This is done through the Motion Function Builder, using syntax like:cppCopyEditμ = 0.3 + 0.2 * exp(-VEL("Part1","Face1","Part2","Face2")^2 / 0.1)
- SolidWorks Motion passes the velocity into the equation each time step, so your coefficient changes dynamically.
