Replaying Simulation Results

You can replay the results of the simulation including animation, plots, and updating of values. Clash handling can also be used.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Simulate; for more information see Launching a Virtual Execution.

Replay Using Command

You can replay the simulation results by a command.

  1. Select what simulation should be replayed by selecting a node in the Signal Monitor of that simulation.

    If no node is selected, the latest simulation is replayed.

  2. From the Behavior section of the action bar, click Replay Simulation Results .
    The following appears:
    • The Simulation Options dialog box, as a dialog box or minimized as an icon to the right in the tab.
    • An Experience Player toolbar:

    • The 3D animation - if not, see next step.
  3. In the Simulation Options dialog box, set your preferences for the animation. For more information see Managing Simulation Options Using the Simulation Options Dialog Box.
  4. To start the animation, click Play Forward .
  5. To close the Experience Player click again Replay Simulation Results .

Replay Using the Compass

You can use the Compass to replay the simulation results.

  1. In the tree, select a result node.
  2. In the Compass, click Play .
    The replay of the simulation starts, and the following appears:
    • The Simulation Options dialog box, as a dialog box or minimized as an icon to the right in the tab.
    • A Play section of the action bar appears that enables you to control the simulation.
    • The 3D animation - if not, see next step.
      Tip: You can manage 3D shapes during animation. For more information see Managing a 3D Animation.
  3. In the Simulation Options dialog box, set your preferences for the animation. For more information see Managing Simulation Options Using the Simulation Options Dialog Box.
  4. To end the execution, deactivate Play from the Compass.
