-
In the
tree,
select a scenario result.
-
To select the elements to sweep, do one of the following:
- To select
individual elements from the scenario result, select the elements in the
tree.
- To select
individual elements from the scenario result, click the icon next to the
Element(s) to sweep field, and select the
elements.
- To select all
moving elements from the scenario result, in the
Sweep All area of the dialog box, select
Sweep all moving products.
- Optional:
Select the Reference product. By default, the main
product is selected in Reference product.
- Optional:
To interpolate the mechanism positions, select
Filter Positions, and enter the maximum
distance between positions in Filtering precision.
Although the kinematics
animation includes
mechanism positions for only
discrete time increments, the volume sweep can interpolate the positions of the
mechanism between these increments to generate a smoother shape.
- Optional:
To prevent interpolation of the mechanism positions, clear
Filter Positions.
-
To create an envelope around the selected parts, select
Enable Wrapping, and enter a grain value in
Wrapping grain .
-
To simplify the representation of the selected parts, select
Enable simplification, and enter an accuracy
value.
-
Click
OK.
The swept volume opens in a new tab. In the kinematics
simulation tab, Swept Volume is created under the current scenario
result.
-
To display an existing swept volume, right-click the swept volume
representation in the
tree,
and select
Display Representation.
-
To update a swept volume, right-click the swept volume in the
tree
and do either of the following:
- Select
Update to update not only the scenario and
its results, but also the products and assemblies. It may be time consuming,
especially for large models.
- Select
Local Update to only update the scenario and
the selected post-processing (swept volumes).
Note:
Alternatively, use the
Computation and Generate Results commands
(local or global update) to update swept volumes.
The swept volume opens in a new
tab.
In the
Mechanical Systems Experience
tab,
Swept Volume is updated.
