This task shows you how to run a kinematics simulation with
commands. |
 |
Insert the KIN_EX17* .model files from the samples folder. |
 |
If you work with the Cache System, make sure you are in
Design mode (select Edit > Representations > Design Mode). for
more detailed information, refer to the DMU Navigator user's Guide -
Task: Viewing the Cache Content. |
 |
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. |
 |
-
Click Simulation with Commands
.
The Kinematics Simulation dialog box appears.
 |
The commands of the kinematics mechanism are available. |
-
Manipulate the slider of a command.
For example, select the LEFTcommand.
The corresponding part of the kinematics
mechanism moves accordingly |
 |
 |
 |
Clicking
expands the Kinematics Simulation dialog box.
The
immediate option is set by default. Also see
Simulating on Request. |
 |
 |
Use the slider, enter a value or manipulate
the geometry directly to achieve the same result. |
-
Manipulate the other commands in the same way.
-
(Optional) Modify the value of a specific command if you
want (For example, modify the CENTRAL command values to -500 and
500 (joint limits):

|
 |
In V4 mechanisms, the joint limits are stored in KinematicsUI.CATSettings file in the CATSettings and not in the V4
mechanism. Consequently, if you remove your CATSettings, the limits
set are removed too. |
