Simulating On Request

This task shows you how to perform a simulation on request.

Open the Jack.CATProduct document

In our sample document, there is only one mechanism. If you work with a product containing more than one mechanism, it is strongly recommended to select the mechanism you need before starting the simulation with commands.

1. Click Simulation with Commands .The Kinematics Simulation dialog box appears.

2. Click .
   The command of the kinematics mechanism is available as shown below.

   By default, the Immediate option is set

3. Select the On Request option button.

4. Enter a precise value for the command, 20 for example .

5. Enter the number of steps, 20 for example.

6. Click Play Forward .
   The corresponding parts of the kinematics mechanism move accordingly at each step.

7. Click Close.

   To go back to the initial position, click before leaving the simulation with commands. By default the new position is kept when exiting the simulation commands (Simulation with Commands and Simulating with Laws) In Simulation with Laws, click Start button to jump to the initial position.
