Primary Area

The primary area of the Scenario section provides commands to define kinematics simulations specifications, including defining excitations and probes, and run kinematics simulations.

This page discusses:



Kinematics Scenario
Creates the simulation of a mechanism where only kinematics relations are accounted for.
See Creating a Kinematics Scenario


Dynamics Scenario
Creates the simulation of a mechanism where kinematic relations and forces are accounted for.

Assembly Sequence Excitation
Creates an excitation based on a sequence of law or segmented excitations.
See Assembly Evaluation User's Guide: Creating an Assembly Sequence


New Visibility Action
Hides or shows a selection of components for a specific amount of time.
