SW Model Request: Att: MBiasotti

Hey Mark or anyone else from SW reading this post.

I read an aticle from SW world that they previewed a solidworks
assembly file of the old "mouse trap" game. By itself isn't a that
big a deal.... But I heard it had the ball run through an animation of
the whole board. I'm assuming this was set up with a bunch of mates
including the new advanced\mechanical mates (path,screw, coupler,
etc...) Is this the case and is this file available anywhere???/ I
would be really interested in getting this file if I could!

Thanks,
Don

Perhaps it could be posted to 3DContentCentral? I'd like to study it too.

 

I think I saw it here few months back....http://labs.solidworks.com/

This is a link to a mouse trap model, not sure if its the on you are
after tho.

Thanks for the post. But I think there is a newer one designed around
a lot of new functionality found in 2008.
It has the complete board with all the contraptions. Hopefully
somebody is willing to share it.

I saw an animation of the model, it was done as a class project. I
never saw the actual model, but the animation was super-impressive.
There were a couple others for the same class, too. I downloaded a
couple of the animations, but I lost the link to the class webpage.

 

Yes, I do have the mouse trap model/assembly but it is approx.
86Mbtyes and too large to host right now. As far as 3DCC, it won't
support pre-released versions of SW so we can't place it there yet. I
also think that this demo requires COSMOSMotion.

Stay tuned - we should have this available some time after 2008 is
released.

(hum...for some reason I responded to your post several hours ago but
I guess it didn't take so I apologize if you see this response twice.)

Anyway, yes, I have the mousetrap Assembly but it is approx. 86Mbtyes.
I believe you also have to have COSMOSmotion to have do what you saw
in the video.

As far as putting it on 3DCC, it is a 2008 version file and 3D content
central won't work with pre-released versions of SolidWorks.

I'm sure we can get it posted some time in October after 2008 has been
released. I would guess that we can make it available to the VAR's
then you obtain it from your VAR.

Thanks for the reply Mark... and the second reply as well. Thought I
was going crazy for a second.
Any chance you could give me an update on when it would be available
through my var I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
Don
