SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Flux Capacitor Tutorial

Flux Capacitor: It’s back to the future with this assembly! The Flux Capacitor …it’s what makes time travel possible. This fun but also educational assembly has a few unique features in some of the parts. A split line curve is used in one of the parts to help precisely place a custom decal. One model has three configurations controlled by just two dimensions giving dramatically different sized geometry. A thin feature with multiple contours is displayed. Controlling part transparency is also covered.

The motion study displays how to adjust the appearances of parts to get a flashing light affect. A point light is added and turned on to light up flux capacitor. One of the parts has a sketch driven pattern which is re-used at the assembly level as pattern driven component pattern.
