-
Indicate the name of the dynamics scenario to create in the
Name field.
-
In the
Excitations and
Probes tabs, select the law excitations and
probes used to drive the simulation:
-
Highlight a law excitation/probe in the
Available column and click the right arrow
to include it in the simulation.
- Optional:
Highlight a law excitation/probe in the
Referenced column and click the left arrow
to remove it from the simulation.
-
In the Parameters tab, enter the time limits and the
Result Time Step of the simulation in the
Simulation Parameters section.
-
In the Solver Parameters section, select an
integrator.
For the DASSL integrator:
-
Click Tolerance to open the DASSL
integrator tolerances dialog box.
-
Specify an absolute and a relative tolerance value for each type of
errors.
-
Click OK.
For the Symplectic Euler integrator:
-
Specify the Time step min and Time
step max.
-
Specify the Penetration max.
The value of the Time step max cannot exceed that of
the Time step.
The Contact Model is set automatically according to its associated
integrator:
- The Surfacic Contact Model for the DASSL
integrator.
- The Restitution Contact Model for the Symplectic
Euler integrator.
- Optional:
Click Preview to launch a dynamics simulation based on
the selected excitations, probes and parameters.
The Preview option does not generate simulation
results.
To exit the simulation and open the Dynamics Scenario
dialog box again, press Esc.
-
Click
OK.
A dynamics scenario is created in the
tree.
