Physics Simulation Fundamentals

The topics in the Physics Simulation Fundamentals guide describe behavior and techniques that are common across the family of physics simulation apps. For example, the Physics Simulation Fundamentals guide describes:

• Elements of the common user interface, such as the action bar.
• Creating and opening a simulation.
• Creating and applying materials.
• Managing features in a simulation.
• Running a simulation.
• Interacting with simulation data across the model, scenario, and results apps to create and manage your simulations.

To create and run a simulation successfully, you should be familiar with the content of the guide for each app you are using and with the content of the Physics Simulation Fundamentals guide. To help you navigate, the guides for the individual apps contain cross references to the Physics Simulation Fundamentals guide.

For information that is specific to an app, you can use the help within the app or refer to the guide for the app.
