Hello, I am a teacher, and I would like to develop a new activity using SolidWorks and Meca3D with my students. I found a document that I brought up to date, with the SolidWorks model that goes with it, a water flosser.
Everything seems to be working fine, but just as I run the analysis for a new study, I get a " Incorrect choice of pilot moves" error message. And yet, this model has already been used with Meca3D.

Meca3D n°2.docx lab (1.9 MB)
Attached is the Word document and the SW model.
Hello and welcome Henri_Chauvel,
I didn't know Meca3D, but I have a link that could explain the reason for this bug in terms of the compatibility of the versions of each one.
=>Meca3D installation source for high schools - Visiativ Education Research
Because I noticed that there are several versions of SW in the win.rar
Good luck.

@m_blt, it seems to me, may be able to help you on the subject and since he is mentioned in the subject, he should receive a notification. For my part, this is an unknown subject for me.

Thank you very much for your answers! I kept looking, and I found this great site that allowed me to find the answer.
In fact, you have to click on the small red light on SolidWorks which allows you to update the system.
This site shows you what Meca3D is, I'm a little stunned that you've never heard of it, because it's a mandatory passage currently in high school (STI2D baccalaureate). But hey, CAD is also so vast, there are so many different fields...
But also, I hope that thanks to this site, other people will be able to find the solution to their problem.
Hello again Henri_Chauvel,
Thanks for the information.

Hello @Henri_Chauvel ,
The model is correctly defined, it only takes a few adaptations to limit the risk of confusion.
Adaptations made in the attached model, with SW 2023 and Meca3D v19.
With some add-ins in the Word file included.

A note on the " super site " that helped you out: the links relating to Meca3D and Mecaplan redirect you to certain pages of the site atemi.fr, a Lyon-based company that develops this software.
Good luck...
… Well, I've never heard of it either.
On the other hand, it's not so surprising, the " ATEMI " site (Meca 3D) is only in http and not in http"s" (secure) and no notion of prices either... This is relatively a deterrent to investment.
Solidworks still counts Maca3D in its partnerships:

What do you do with Meca3D and your high school students? Studies of materials (resistances) or mainly of trajectories?
Maclane,
Sorry, I did feel that the word " stunned " is a bit strong... Especially since, as I said, the field of CAD is so vast, so I only see it from the very small end of the telescope. And I myself am only a beginner in many respects.
Meca3D is currently for me the essential software for doing statics, various types of studies (geometric, kinematics, dynamics,...), it allows you to draw various curves using a SolidWorks model.
m_bit,
Wow, thank you very much for your work, very complete, very clear, SUPER fast, and which made me understand a lot of things! Congratulations!
Meca3D is like icebergs, you only see 10% of them.
Most of it is below the surface...
