Simulation Pattern

This command allows to define a pattern corresponding to a rigid group displacement during a simulation.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select the Simulation > Simulation Pattern... command from the drop-down menu.

Select the simulation.
Click Refresh if the button is not grayed out. The button is grayed out when the simulation is updated. Refreshes can also be run from the entities tree.
Select the mobile rigid group.
Select the total number of points representing the simulation of this mobile rigid group.
Validate by clicking .

You cannot modify the pattern type (basified or not) after the validation.
An associative pattern is only visible in the mechanism stage. In the modeling stage, it is grayed out.

A pattern is a repetition of points. The greater the number of points, the more exact the pattern, but the calculation time will also be longer.

Available Options:

Basify:

The pattern can be either associative, and therefore recalculated when the mechanism is changed, or by checking Basify, produce an editable sketch at the modeling stage that may be used .

Display:

The Display section allows you to redefine the position of the visualization of the pattern.

Select the starting point and/or
Select the starting frame.

Advanced options:

Select a rigid group in relation to where the mobile rigid group will move. If no group is selected, the built rigid group is taken into account.
