Solidworks & soft motion problem

hi dear
i am new user, i want simulate example in http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/CBD0925AA14FCB8E86257A4E006BC609
in page 7 says
2. Right-click My Computer in the Project Explorer window and select New»SolidWorks
Assembly from the shortcut menu to open the Import SolidWorks Motors from
Assembly File dialog box
i can't find this option.
my solidworks is 2012 SP1 and labvew 2012SP1 and softmotion 2012SP1

Hi Qweewq,
The versions that you have stated should both be compatible with each other, as SoftMotion supports any Solidworks version higher than 2009 SP2.1, and is also compatible with the 2012 version of LabVIEW, so I am at a loss as to why this is not showing up. I can only think that it may have been a problem with the installer. Have you tried reinstalling LabVIEW and the SoftMotion module?
Can I also ask for you to generate a MAX Report for me?

NI SOFT MOTION

Hola a todos
estoy interesado en aprender a utilizar el modulo NI Soft Motion, en lab view 2009 y estoy utilizando la NI USB 6216 de la serie M, tengo entendido que esta aplicacion permite importar modelos CAD desde Solid Works y visualizarlos en la interfaz gráfica de LAB View para realizar análisis matemático y monitoreo en tiempo real utilizada ampliamente en robotica y otros automatismos industrales y de investigacion.
me podrian Facilitar un tutorial en español del uso del NI SOF MOTION y explicarme si en la NI USB 6216 es posible ejecutar esa aplicacion mientras se controla un modelo real? y cuales son sus ventajas y desventajas
Les agradezco su atención y colaboración.

Having choppy 24p motion problems.

Thanks for any info anyone might have on this.
I have a show open motion graphic sequence for a long running video series that has previously been produced in standard def NTSC and is now going HD.
It's a straight to Bluray/DVD instructional show.
The show is being shot in 1080/24p and the authoring house is insisting we deliver the final show 1080/24p (23.976 of course).
Unfortunately part of this open contains video clips floating right to left across the screen along with other graphic elements perfectly perpendicular to the screen and the motionit's is
strobing like crazy in 24p. This is not some kind of field type artifact, but just the problem of horizontal motion in 24p.
I have tried turning on motion blur and that helps some but due to the speed of the movement the video clips and graphic elements become very
blurry. I have tried adjusting the 3D camera shutter angle and of course can reduce the blur but that then increases the choppy motion problems.
I have told the producer I would be happy to make them a new open that avoided this problem but they are insistent they want to keep this one.
Does anyone have any workarounds on this?
How would this be done for graphics used in a feature film that would need to be 24p?
Note: I am rendering this out for use in Avid Media Composer 6.
Thanks!

If your motion is at or near a critical speed then you have only one choice, change the speed. Take a look at this article. You may get some ideas. In my cinematographers handbook there's a chart of must avoid panning speeds. That's what you are getting with your horizontal movement. Unfortunately the only remedy is to change the speed of the move. You have to get it as close as you can to match the rest of the piece (audio, other elements) and then hide the rest with motion blur. Unfortunately, if you are right on a critical speed motion blur won't stop the strobing but it will make it less difficult to look at.
And to answer your question about doing this for a feature film at 24fps... you just have to follow the rules. In the same way a cinematographer must adjust his panning speed you have to adjust your design to the limitations imposed by the frame rate.

Can you still use soft motion without the scan engine on crio?

Where are the trajectory generator property and invoke nodes in softmotion for LV 2011?
These functions are not longer found in the pallet? Are they no longer supported?
All the new soft motion examples are using the scan engine. Can I use soft motion without the scan engine????

Hi Ian,
I apologize that this wasn't stated in the release notes. While your code should have upgraded without breaking, the release documentation should have mentioned that the advanced trajectory genertor functionality is no longer supported. If you still want to use the trajectory generator functions, they are still shipped with SoftMotion, they are just not on the palette. I have attached a zip file that has 4 .mnu files that will get them on the palette. To install these, do the following:
Close LabVIEW
Make a copy of the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\menus\Categories\VisionMotion\_nism. In case something goes wrong, we will want to have a copy of this directory so that we can replace it.
Copy the 4 .mnu files from the attachement into the above _nism directory (the original, not the copy). If it asks you to replace any of the exisiting files, please do. You don't have to copy the readonly.txt file.
Start LabVIEW. You should know have the trajectory generator functions in your SoftMotion Advanced palette.
Keep in mind that we no longer support these functions. This means that they are not tested in new releases and any bugs will likely not get fixed.
I would recommend that you use the new API for any new designs. You can still get most of the functionality of the old API but without the complexity. If you want to generate setpoints at 5ms then you will run the scan engine at 5ms. This is certainly easier than having to do the timing yourself, but it does take away some control from the user. If you give me a brief overview of what you mean by synchronization, I will let you know the best way to do it with the new API.
Thanks,
Paul B.

Motion with Soft Motion

Dear Sir,
I already have all the hardware necessary for my thesis comparing PID and Fuzzy logic on the axes Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS - logistics) using Fieldpoint 2000 and Soft Motion software.
I will follow the method of MODEL BASED CONTROL DESIGN PROCESS involving:
1. Plant modelling and analysis
2. Control Design
3. Simulation
4. Deployment
All step will be using the necessary toolit.
Please advice me especially on the right stimulus and response using System Identification toolkits
Each axis uses ac servo motor.
Thanks.
SADIAH

That is going to depend on which part of the system you are trying to analyze. Is it the softmotion with the Fieldpoint or the motor itself or both? If it was the motor the stimulus would be the voltage and the response would be the torque. For specific questions regarding the System Identification Toolkit I would look at that manual for it. It is located from Start>>Programs>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW x.x>>LabVIEW Manuals.

Slow Motion Problems

I've been using FCP now for many projects, and this is the first time I have had this problem. I will use slow motion on a clip and render it. But when I play the clip back, it will skip ahead in the clip, and then freeze. For example, people walking down the street. The clip is 3 seconds and I slow it to 6 seconds. As people are walking, about every 5 frames the picture jumps. Then at 4 seconds into the clip it freezes and plays that frame for the remaining 2 seconds. I never had this problem before, and I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm almost at the point where I want to just reinstall the whole FCS!

It depends on the formats you import. Are you slowing your footage down -100%? make sure you have constant speed checked. Maybe your time remapping it.

Soft proofing problem with wide-gamut monitor

Hi,
I've just upgraded to a wide-gamut monitor (Dell U2713H).
I set the colour-space to adobe RGB when using Lightroom (I'm on LR5).
When I select soft proofing , my picture goes grey (that is, where I was displaying the photo in the border, then changes to a uniform grey within the proofing border). If I click on 'create proof copy' the picture then displays.
When the picture is grey and I move my mouse over the image, I can see the RGB% values change, as if there is an image there.
Previously, I had a (rather) low-end viewsonic and had no problems - Soft-Proofing worked fine. All I did was install the new monitor.
I'm running windows 7, nvidia 8800GT card, 8gb memory. No system changes prior/after changing the monitor.
Everything else on the monitor works fine (better than fine, actually, it is a great monitor)
Soft-proofing in photoshop (CS6) works fine, for what that is worth.
I'm a bit stumped. Can anyone help?

What do you mean by this? Are you selecting Adobe RGB as color profile for you rmonitor? Or are you talking about selecting Adobe RGB as softproofing color space in Lr?
The fact that your images are grey in Lr is a strong indication that your new monitor is not calibrated and is way off the chart. It might be brand new but that does not mean that its tonality and color display is correct for photo editing in Lr.
Calibration is done with a piece of hardware called a spectrometer and the accompanying software. Brand names are Spyder, ColorMunki, GretaghMacbeth. After calibration the software creates a profile that is used by the monitor.
You don't select any other profile than the profile created by calibration and profiling for photo editing - irrespective of which program you use for photo editing.
In the meantime - as a temporary remedy and until you get the calibration tools - you can set your monitor to sRGB. Be aware that sRGB is a much smaller color space than what you rmonitor is able to display; with sRGB you basically prevent the monitor from displaing wide gamut.
See here on how to set the monitor to sRGB:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4977176#4977176

You have no way of telling if the monitor works fine, i.e. if the monitor has the correct intensity (brightness) and if it displays the colors correctly, i.e. as a true representation of the color numbers. Our brain automatically adjusts colors to what they ought to be. What we see is basically unreliable for photo editing. Only a calibrated monitor will display the colors correctly.
Also, when you calibrate select an intensity (brightness) of araound 110 cd/m2 - irrespective of what the software suggests. Often monitors are way to bright which results in prints that are too dark.

The Motion problem in Macbook Pro

I am still waiting for Apple to fix the problem that appears to be between Motion 2 & 3 and MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0.
Meanwhile Motion is 100% usless, unless a reinstall of the entire OS X (anybody successfull with that?).
Today it's almost 4 weeks since Apple made public this problem. And like 3 weeks without any news or friendly solution about this. Check: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306038
It means that almost everybody with a new MacBook Pro and Motion 2 or 3 is not able to run this application.
Notice this facts:
1)Motion is a PRO Application.
2)MacBook Pro is a PRO Computer.
3)MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 is recommended by Apple to all 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pro models (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookprosoftwareupdate10.html)
because it fixes important bugs on this computers.
4)This update fixes some problems, yes, but causes another: Motion crashes 100% of the time you try to use it.
5)The need of making an Archive & install of the OS X in order to undo the Update is by far one of the less friendly solutions ever seen by any user. And it's worse when you don't know for sure that it will work.
6)Pro users are the supposed target of MacBook Pro and Motion, and it is supposed that they have to be able to their job with that. The second part of the last sentence is not true.
7)The Software and the Hardware that appear to be in conflict are both wrote and designed by Apple, and the solution of this problem it only can come from Apple. The second part of the last sentence is, still, not true.
As owner of a MacBook Pro, and owner of a Final Cut Studio 2 suite I expect some kind of respect and attention from Apple. Not to mention a fast and simple solutions that helps me, not makes everything WORSE.
It will be cool to know how many MacBook Pro users are having the same problem with Motion. And how many of them do not accept the actual situation. How many of them want to demand to Apple a fair solution to this, at least some kind of information about HOW MUCH MORE WE HAVE TO WAIT.
Anybody knows any way to accomplish this?
I'm a big fan of Apple computers and applications, but I am not going to accept all this without demanding some kind of explanation from Apple and a real solution NOW!

Maybe I'll try the FW drive solution. Thanks for the idea!
I agree with you that maybe there is no way to make Motion Engineers to work faster, I hope this problem is in some kind of priority for the Motion Team and that they can find a way to fix it.
But what is bothering me here is that Apple is not giving public information about this. The only public official article about this problem hasn't been updated by Apple since 20 July. I think they have to know something more by today.
As user I want to know what is going on or how much I will have to wait for some solution. I don't want to accuse the Motion Engineers, that's not my intention. Because I think it's not their fault. Here the problem has had to be a lack of communication between Apple divisions.
I want to accuse Apple in the way this problem is being treated. Not giving enough information to its users. And that the whole problem could have been avoided if they had tested the update before publishing it.
Maybe you can say that it always has been like this with other problems, but I don't think it's the right way. At least is not what I expected from Apple.

Slow Motion Problem with Motion 3

Hi, I am new to using Motion 3 and am having major frustration trying to get slow motion to work. I have applied a speed reduction to a short clip about 5 seconds in lengh. I've tried reducing the speed to 50% on one and about 10% on the other, booth using Optical Flow. But for some reason the resulting clip is very jerky and I have no idea why it is doing this. I have tried it with multiple other clips but it is till doing the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas? Please I am desperate to resolve this problem!
Here is a clip of the resulting problem if it helps...
http://reels.creativecow.net/film/slow-mo-test

Haven't heard a thing, but snce backward works and forward doesn't I think it is definitely a bug, not intentional. Since Verizon really doesn't watch these threads, these forums are users helping other users, I suggest you go over to dslreports.com, register if you are not already registered (it is free), and then post in the Verizon Direct forum there. Actual Verizon techs are there to help, and you can report the problem and no one other than Verizon reps can see any of your personal or account info.

PDF dropped into Motion problem

I created some graphic text in Illustrator, using the Extrude/Bevel effect, and saved it as an .ai file. Then I dropped the graphic into Motion. In Motion the image remains sharp even when large on the screen. The problem (and I wish I could attach a file to show it instead of describing it, but here it goes) is that in the curved areas of the text, in the smooth gradient blend in the extruded part of the text, there are horizontal lines going from the face to the back of the text. These lines appear to be banding from the blending steps, but they look smooth in Illustrator.
Any ideas? Has anyone successfully brought text extruded in Illustrator into Motion? Motion's Extrude Filter seems a little fuzzy, so I'd prefer not to use it. Seems to rasterize the graphic when it applies the filter.

Thank you. I had fixed resolution off. The image looked very sharp, even when enlarged. But, the lines (which are sharp) are in the curved parts of the gradiant. I Changed the bit resolution to 32-bit (it was 8-bit), but that didn't make a difference.
I tried this experiment: Instead of bringing the .ai into Motion and letting Motion convert it to a PDF, I rasterized the graphic in Illustrator first, then saved it as a PDF with 1200 dpi. This worked getting rid of the lines and the image looked very sharp when enlarged in Motion. BUT, the file size is 97 MB (compared to 1 MB) and the graphic gets unsmooth when it is smaller on the screen. So, this is not really a solution.
I'm guessing the problem has something to do with Motion's .ai to PDF conversion? The original in Illustrator has very mild, exceptable banding (to my eye), but when brought into Motion the bands become this sharp, thin, black lines.

Photoshop CS5 Motion Problems

I own the 64 bit version of Adobe photoshop CS5. The motion option I'm talking about resides at the top right-hand corner.
Today, I was making an animation; I drew all the frames as layers in the 'painting' mode first. I had the fx option on for all frames (outer glow). I then switched to 'motion' mode, and made frames from layers to test the animation.
It ran smoothly, but it didn't look right near the end bit, so I stopped the animation and then corrected that frame.
Big mistake. The fx glow refused to adhere to the new shape of the image in that frame. The glow continues to outline the part that I'd erased off. The new part I drew in is not covered by the glow.
I've experienced problems like this when entering and exiting Photoshop's motion mode before (other than today). I don't understand it. Is it because the motion mode destroys coding, which causes it to turn out like this? I have tried saving, exiting and reopening the file. Nothing works. The glow still exists around the part of the image that is no longer there. Meanwhile, the part of the image that I added in is not outlined by the glow. As anyone who has used the fx option before should know, the glow appears around the new part being drawn drawing whenever you draw something in the layer. It's stopped doing so on this particular layer ever since I exited motion mode.

I think I might have found the problem. The eraser tool seems to have changed the layer's colour to the background colour, rather than having
deleted the colour from the layer. So instead of having a transparent section where I'd erased things, I was left with a black shape (the same colour as the background). That's why the glow wouldn't go away; the shape was still there, just invisible by contrast.
So I have a new question. How did I get my brush to do this? The brush sometimes seems to erase perfectly well by deleting the colour in the frame. Other times it does a weird trick (like this occasion) and substitutes the colour in the layer with the background colour, making it look like it's done its job when it's just pulled a colour substitution for the background colour. What settings control whether it does one or the other?

Please help: Stop i Motion problem

Hi,
I'm aware that this is a Motion forum but souldn't find one on here for StopiMotion. If anyone can help me, or point me in the right direction , I'd be very grateful.
My problem is this: Today I used StopiMotion (on an almost brand new Powerbook with at least 10 GIG space) for the first time to make a stopframe animation, for which I normally use Framethief instead.
Foolishly I presumed that, like Framethief, StopiMotion would save each captured frame individually all in a filder in documents. Foolishly I also (was in a pressured situation) didn't pay attention to where it was saving the project to or what it was saving it as. Because I thought it's saving prcess would be the same as framethief at no point did I actually save the project (as in 'save as..'). However, we did preview it successfully at a couple of points during the process. As it needed to render in order to let us preview this leads me to believe that it must have been saved somehow and that the file must exist somewhere.
The problem is that at the end of the process the software froze and I had no choice but to force quit. I then looked in documents for the file but could find nothing that resembled it. What exactly would i be looking for: a Stopimovie movie file or many individual frames? Or would it have been autosaved as a temp file? And where would it save to by default? Does it sound as though my project will have been autosaved?
Thank you for your time and please forgive my stupid questions.
C.

Are you referring to Boinx software iStopMotion?
The reason ask is that that company has a wonderful support line.
http://www.istopmotion.com/
Just post the question and let them respond.
My guess is that these are sequenced graphic files, because unless you set preferences for a movie capture, the files would be sequential.
