Solving the Initial State of Mechanisms

You can update a mechanism according to the initial conditions of the mechanism elements. Initial conditions include the initial joint values, element conditions, or absolute driver values.

  1. In the tree, select a mechanism.
  2. From the Mechanism section of the action bar, click Initial State Solve .
    • The position of the bodies and joints included in the mechanism is updated.
    • The mechanism is updated according to its initial conditions.

You can display the solver messages associated with the solve process. For more information, see Displaying Solver Messages.
