SOLIDWORKS How to Model a Flex Cable in an Assembly

See more at: www.goengineer.com/products/so...
Learn how to model a flex cable at the assembly level of a design using in context modelling techniques such that the cable is able to adapt/reshape itself to the position of the moving components to which it is attached in SOLIDWORKS. Quick Tip presented by Miguel de Villa of GoEngineer.

    Thanks so much. Well explained and you didn't wiz by the commands. It was easy and clear for a very useful tool.

    Guys at work have been using the sheet metal feature for flex cables 😂. One advantage though is that you can have an installed and a flat configuration for 2d drawings.

    Could you do a motion analysis for this? and see if the belt is actually moving.

    Hi, I loved the the video. Just had a little question Can we make it an automated motion? Meaning making a video out of this demonstrating the motion shown above. or maybe having it automatically rebuild without me telling it? Thanks again.

    Nice, but does this work in 3D, e.g., with a round cable that flexes in more than 1 direction like the FLAT Flex cable you show?

    Indeed! Instead of creating a 2D sketch as shown in the video, you could absolutely create a 3D sketch instead and use 3D sketch entities(Lines and Arcs) to define said path, such as we do in Routing, and use the Sweep function with a round cross section. However, 3D Sketch entities typically require a bit more work than 2D Sketch entities to properly constrain and dimension, so you need to take that into account as well.

    We have the virtual part fixed in place because the overall shape is determined by the sketches and their in-context references to the other components in the assembly and their positions at the assembly level. While yes, we can unfix/float the cable to move it to new locations, the design intent behind these in context references of the cable may cause it to break/error out when attempting to rebuild in a new position where those in-context references may not solve in the same way.

    No, this is not the way, constraints are wrong.
