Dynamics Dialog Box

The Dynamics dialog box provides options for modifying the parameters used for dynamics testing and also allows you to define which parts are subject to dynamics testing.

To access the dialog box, if you are in 3D Simulation, in the Probes panel, right-click on the Dynamics probe and select Edit.

Entity Name
The part or product name on the leaf node.
Mode
The available modes are:
Free
An entity that moves during the simulation.
Fixed
Has friction and supports other entities placed on it, but does not move itself.

By default, Free is selected.

Mass
Weight of the object, expressed in kilograms.

By default, set to1 kg.

Restitution
Elasticity or bounciness of the entity, expressed as a percentage.

By default, set to 25%.

Friction
Amount of friction, expressed as a percentage.

By default, set to 75%.

Shape
Shape of the geometry or boundary box that surrounds the shape.

By default, set to Box.

Remove
Because computing the dynamics can slow your performance, you can choose to focus on the dynamics of only a few parts. To remove any parts you do not want dynamics computed for, click X.
