Defining Section Probes

Section Probe creates section views to better visualize the structure of a product during a kinematics simulation.

Before you begin: Open a kinematics simulation referencing a mechanism in the Mechanical Systems Experience app. app.
  1. Specify the section's name.
  2. Left-click and move the section cut to adjust it.

    Tip: You can add or remove products by clicking them in the work area.

    You can reposition the section using the Manipulator, the Robot, or the context toolbar.

    Important: The Behavior tab is not available for the section probe as the probe's behavior is driven by the kinematics scenario.

  3. On the context toolbar, click Activate/Deactivate Secondary Viewer .
    The Secondary Viewer panel appears with the following options:
    Fills the section cut with the colors of the sectioned component
    Detects clashes
    / Unlocks or locks the viewer point
    Switches to the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) window
  4. Click Activate/Deactivate Secondary Viewer to close the panel.
  5. Click OK.
