How do you create an animation of an assembled system?

So I'm attaching the system.

How does it work?

So, on the turquoise blue coin, there is a charge of a certain weight, which causes the movement of the pink coin, the hallmark

slips into the slot of the dark blue part and then drives it into the light pink guide pads, and the punch comes to be lodged

the green room.

Then when the load is released, the punch goes back to its initial place as well as the springs etc. and so on.

So I would like to know how to perform an animation of this system, knowing that it is assembled and totally constrained.

 

Kind regards.

Hello

Do you have a SolidWorks Premium license?

If so, with Motion you will be able to animate your ensemble by taking into account weight, gravity, springs, ....

Hello

You have to look at Motion Manager, more specifically the severity, see here:

Hi, you have to start by releasing the constraints that block the movements you want to animate. I advise you to create a free config that will be used for that. Then if it's just an animation for an explanatory video, I recommend the solidworls animation module included in the standard version. You move the time bar and reposition the pieces at each stage of the movement. Motion is used to simulate movement  to check the action of a spring, for example.
