About Computing and Generating Results with a Local Update
After modifying a model, you can run a local computation of the scenario and update it independently of the whole assembly in which it is inserted. A local PLM Update of a feature is a PLM Update of this feature as a root, with a simplified dependency-graph. The root defines which actors of its global dependency-graph are parts of its local neighborhood.
You can run the Compute and Generate Results with Local update command when:
An update is necessary at the scenario's level only, or the scenario appears as up-to-date, but a Local update may be necessary. | The design modifications of the model, except for hide/show,
are not taken into account by the Local update. For example: If the scenario's
parameters have been modified since the last computation, the icon |
No result node corresponds to the selected scenario. | A kinematics or dynamics scenario is created, but no
Result Of Scenario node is attached yet. Use the command to create an empty Result Of Scenario node while simulating and checking the scenario. |
The scenario is not up-to-date. | A simulation is necessary to update the post-processings
(swept volumes, geometric traces), attached to one or several scenarios. Click

When the simulation is complete:
- The Incident Diagnosis dialog box opens if an error is detected during the computation. For more information, see Diagnosing Computation Incidents.
- All the specifications defined under the Scenario category are updated.
- The Kinematics Postprocessing app opens automatically.
If you simulate and generate results for the first time:
- The Result node
appears in the tree.
- The Result of Scenario
node
is created for each simulated scenario.
When the scenario is modified:
- The Scenario node
changes into
.
- You can click
to update the scenario.
If the results were already generated and not updated ( ):
- The content of the
Result category is updated.
Important: Traces and swept volumes are not updated when you use the local update. For more information, see Creating Traces and Creating Swept Volumes.
Tips:
|
When the scenario is computed, the mechanism is animated. For more information about reviewing simulation results, see Viewing the Simulation Results.
