Animation with multiple configs

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

 

I have an assembly composed of 2 configs (a current situation and a future situation). With elements (parts, assembly) deleted from one config to another.

I want to make an animation going from one config to another.

How can I do it??

 

Thank you for your help

 

Kind regards

Hello

A short tutorial on configurations in animations:

See also this PowerPoint:

But switching to animation from one conguration to another is not possible in my opinion.

A trick could be to insert the assembly twice (once each configuration) in a higher-level assembly, and show or hide the assembly (config 1 or config 2) depending on what you want to show.

I have already realized what @. Pl says on double assembly different config in order to obtain an evolution animation. 

It works but you need a graphics card that holds up. The other solution was to use 2 videos and do morphing between the two but here we leave solidworks to use a dedicated software.
