This command allows to define a movement of a camera fixed on a rigid group. This traveling can be linked to a mechanism simulation.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

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

 

  1. Select the rigid group where to fix the camera.

  2. Select an hook point on this rigid group.

  3. Select the vertical direction of this camera.

  4. Select the target direction by the camera.

  5. Validate by clicking .

 

 

The target direction can't be parallel to the vertical direction.

 

 

  • If the rigid group, the hook point and the target direction are on the same mobile rigid group, the traveling will follow the mobile rigd group during the simulation. (like a board camera).

Example of board camera.

  • The travelling can also be a tracking which allows to have a camera following a mobile rigid group.

  • Different travelings can be cumulated in a variable traveling.

 

Available options:

 

 

 

If the option is not checked, enter the vision field height.

If the option is checked, it is the vision field angle to be entered. In this case, the camera will be conical.
