SOLIDWORKS Simulation tutorial: displaying a layout with the exploded view active

When you're carrying out studies containing several assembled components, it can be interesting to visualize the results plots on each of them.

Step 1

Een exploded view maken en/of de exploded view van SOLIDWORKS activeren

  • Select the "Model" tab at the bottom left of your graphics area.

  • Activate your SOLIDWORKS exploded view, or create one using the "Exploded view" command, then activate it.

Step 2

  • Switch back to the tab of the simulation for which you wish to view the plots.

  • Activate the plot of your choice.

In conclusion

All in all, displaying a layout with the active exploded view is a quick and easy solution. In fact, the exploded view can also help you set up contacts between assemblies. This method works with assembly files; exploded views created in multi-body part files do not allow this approach.
