Visualizing the Motion of a Disc with a SOLIDWORKS Motion Study

September 03, 2025

SOLIDWORKS Motion is a powerful software to help users visualize the motion of a design. This tool provides a graphical simulation that analyzes the impact of forces such as springs, dampers, gravity, and friction.

Anything that moves can be simulated in SOLIDWORKS Motion, just like a disc flying towards a basket! In today’s example, a motion study is developed to help understand how a disc golf shot may need to be adjusted to make it into the basket.
