SOLIDWORKS: Making Subassemblies Flexible

[@Sennakools]

very accurate and straight to the point video, still holds up 5 years later!

[@theapriler]

Thank you! I took your essentials class in 2015, and am now a full time SW user! It took a while to get to the point where I could utilize assemblies, and the flexible assembly has been so helpful!

[@jacobames8768]

Hi April, I remember you! I'm super happy to hear that! I hope SOLIDWORKS has been good to you over the years.

How did you make the tailgate swing? The tailgate appears to remain plumb, or vertical as the bed is articulated.

What about a flexible sub-assembly within a sub-assembly within an assembly? I'm having trouble making this work.

[@habibaulia3223]

thanks, very helpful

[@maikolnay]

de mucha ayuda, gracias!

[@faahym]

oh my god THANK YOU

[@Scott_G]

Is it possible to have the part be rigid at the subassembly level for drawings so it always shows it the same way, but then flexible in a master assembly to show the motion? Like if you have a drawing with the cab, and you want to always show it with the doors closed, but you also want it to be able to be opened up with it's in the full truck assembly? So if you made a drawing of the truck when you had the door closed and then you opened the door and reloaded the drawing, is there a way to always show an assembly in a certain state in drawings?

[@hawkridgesystems]

Hi Scott, thank you for your feedback! Could you fill out our form here: bit.ly/2DNqU9N and one of our engineers can reach out to you directly to go into more detail on the assembly.

[@nourhanmahmoud306]

It didn't work for there is a massage that sub assembly with layout sketches must be kept rigid How can i fix that please

[@hawkridgesystems]

If you are using Layout Sketches or In-context design, you may not be able to make that subassembly flexible. To represent motion for such designs one approach would be to build a new second subassembly with the other components inserted. Since they are not defined in the context of that new subassembly, it should allow the motion.

[@nourhanmahmoud306]

@@hawkridgesystems thank you very much

[@tuyen3586]

Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5mzfKd_a9V5pc0

[@ronaldchampagne3430]

This does not completely work ! If you have subassembly with multiple points of movement NOT ALL OF THEM ARE FLEXIBLE , ONLY SOME OF THEM . Thought I'd point out another fine example of the extreme difficulty in using this BS software .
