Speedway
Welcome to cudacountry's SOLIDWORKS 2018 Speedway Tutorials. We use SOLIDWORKS to create our Car and Track. Then create Motion Study using; Solve as Flexible, Motor, Contacts, Friction, Gravity, suppress Mates and Calculate. Adding a Linear Velocity Results and Plots we can determine the velocity of the car.
Next add Event-based Motion Study sensor to time car. Your challenge is to design the fastest car!

9. Sensor Timer. Use event-based motion study sensor to trigger task and records time of Car around one lap of speedway. Increase motor RPMs and adjust the friction to increase car's speed. What is your fastest time? |
| Here are 2013 tutorials. | |||
After car completes one lap at around 2.3 seconds, brakes are applied without slowing motor and car slides. Motor is set to 0 RPMs to apply "brakes". |
