I'm cutting my teeth on solidworks and motion studies. Instead of a standard linear/radial component pattern, is there a way to have an area "filled" with a component? I'm trying to draw up a gun magazine and simulate it being packed with rounds so that they're all touching and tensioned by a spring. I'd like to have solidworks pack as many into the area as possible, and when I change dimensions, have it continue to keep it full. Is this possible?

not really, you'll need to build an assembly of the magazine, and mate the bullets in it, and then using physical dynamics from the move command within assembly you should be able to see how the bullets move,

Sounds interesting.  When you figure it out ( if possible ) please post the results here.  I use SolidWorks a lot but not the motion stuff.
