Probe and Results Commands

These commands appear in different sections depending on the app from which you are experiencing 3D Simulation.

Note: Two probes, Dynamic Clash and Dynamics, do not appear below because you activate those probes from thumbnails that appear in the Probe panel, not from commands. See Activating the Dynamic Clash Probe or Activating the Dynamics Probe.

New Manufacturing Scenario
Creates the combination of states, excitations, probes, and content that you create to test different aspects of a manufacturing plan.
Click New Manufacturing Scenario . In the Scenario dialog box, select the simulation objects you want to use in the scenario. In the Compass, click Play to see a simulation of the scenario.
See Creating a Manufacturing Scenario.
New Measure Between Probe
Measures the distance between one selected point in the content and another. This measurement can be saved with the scenario.
Click New Measure Between Probe and select the items for measurement. Add the probe to a scenario.
See Defining a Measure Between Probe.
New Interference Probe
Determines whether two objects clash or cross too close to a predetermined buffer.
Click New Interference Probe and modify default items in the dialog box. Add the probe to a scenario and run it.
See Defining an Interference Probe.
New Section Probe
Sections the content at specified points.
Select the content. Click New Section Probe and modify the size and orientation of the section plane. You can attach the resulting section to the content.
See Creating a Section Probe.
New Camera Viewer
Provides a camera-eye view of the simulation. The camera can be mounted on an object.
Click New Camera Viewer , and select an object for the camera to be mounted on.
See Creating a Camera Viewer Probe.
New Data Readout
Opens one or more panels that provide dynamically updated data on objects in the simulation.
See Creating a Data Readout Probe.
New Motion Trace
In the work area, creates a graphic record of the movements of a robot or other device.
Click New Motion Trace , and select an object whose motion you want to see. Run a scenario and the motion trace appears.
See Creating a Motion Trace Probe.
Simulate and Generate Results
Right-click the Scenario thumbnail, select Simulate and Generate Results , then click OK in the Simulate and Generate Results dialog box .
See Generating Scenario Results.
