This command allows to cumulate several travelings and to define the moment when they have to be started. This traveling can be linked to a mechanism simulation.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

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

 

  1. Enter the start time of the traveling.

  2. Select the traveling to use in the drop-down list.

  3. Validate by clicking .

 

 

Rigid and Tracking travelings can be selected.

 

 

Available options:

 

 

 

If the first traveling starts at 0s and a second at 10s, the interpolation allows to progressively move from the first traveling to the second during the complete time of the first (in our case 10s). If the option is unchecked, the transition between the 2 travelings will be immediate until the first is finished. This option can have strange behaviors by interpolating 2 different types of traveling (rigid to tracking or vice versa).
