Creating the Swept Volume of an Assembly Sequence

You can review the total space taken up by one or more tracks by creating a swept volume of an assembly sequence.

Before you begin: Open a simulation containing an assembly sequence.
  1. In the Excitations panel, right-click the thumbnail of the assembly sequence, and select Compute Swept Volume.

    The Swept Volume / Representation DS dialog box appears.
  2. Modify the representation you are creating, if desired, and add any descriptive information, then click Finish.
    The Swept Volume dialog box appears.
  3. Modify any options necessary and click OK.
    The representation view of the swept volume opens in a separate tab.

Note: All the tracks that are sequenced under an Assembly Sequence are considered when creating a swept volume. However, the precedence order of the tracks in the sequence can influence the resulting swept volume.
