Managing Production System Excitations

You can create a production system excitation and simulate it in a manufacturing scenario.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Open your data in 3D Simulation.

Create a Production System Excitation

You can add a Production System to an assembly sequence and create a production system excitation.

From the Simulation section of the action bar, click New Assembly Sequence .
The Assembly Sequence Gantt panel opens, initialized with an assembly sequence.
In the Gantt chart, right-click Assembly Sequence and select Add Existing Activity.
Select a system in the tree.
The selected system and it constituent operations are added to the assembly sequence in the Gantt chart.

The selected system is added to the assembly sequence in the tree.
An production system excitation with the same name as the system is created under the Excitations node in the tree.².

You can simulate a production system excitation in a manufacturing scenario.

From the Verification section of the action bar, click New Manufacturing Scenario .
The Manufacturing Scenario dialog box appears.
In the Excitations tab of the dialog box, make sure that the production system excitation is in the Referenced column and click OK.
Click Play in the Compass to simulate the manufacturing scenario.

A control bar appears that enables you to control the animation (play, play in reverse, step by step, and so on).
