Creating a Manufacturing Scenario

You can create a manufacturing scenario that utilizes activities you have created in order see how these activities work in a simulation. A manufacturing scenario may include an assembly sequence or consist of unordered activities.

Before you begin:

Create activities such as tracks and 3D animation activities. Add some of these activities in an assembly sequence. You can also create simulation states to associate with the scenario. This scenario assumes that you have already activated the 3D Simulation environment.

  1. Select the assembly sequence and press the right arrow.
    The tracks exist both as independent entities and as part of the assembly sequence, so once you add the sequence, you do not need to add the tracks individually to the scenario.
  2. Click Preview.
    The Experience Player appears. You can use it to step through the scenario.
  3. Once you have previewed the scenario, close the Experience Player, and click OK.
    The new Scenario.1 appears in the Scenarios panel.
  4. In the Scenarios panel, right-click Scenario.1 and select Simulate and Generate Results.
    The Simulate and Generate Results dialog box appears. If you have multiple scenarios, you can click Select All Scenarios to generate scenarios from them all.
  5. Click OK.
    The scenario is simulated. You can also click Results panel to see the results of the scenario.

This creates a scenario. The most recent scenario created or selected is the current scenario. Thumbnails of the activities, probes, and states that are part of the current scenario have a check mark in their upper right corners.
